Answer:
Arrhythmia can be described as irregular heart beat, when the heart of a person is beating either too quickly of too slowly, with irregular rhythms.
Explanation:
The major risk factor associated with digoxin-induced arrhythmias is death.
New research has shown that people who have arrhythmias taking the drug digoxin may increase the risk of dying by more than 20 percent.
Answer:
"You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute."
Explanation:
This would likely mean that the CPR is not being done correctly, and the other rescuer and you should remember to go at a steady pace.
This paper identifies evolving trends in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and recommends the integration of nursing strategies in COPD management via widespread implementation of electronic health records. COPD is a complex lung disease with diverse origins, both physical and behavioral, manifested in a wide range of symptoms that further increase the patient’s risk for comorbidities. Early diagnosis and effective management of COPD require monitoring of a dizzying array of COPD symptoms over extended periods of time, and nurses are especially well positioned to manage potential progressions of COPD, as frontline health care providers who obtain, record, and organize patient data. Developments in medical technology greatly aid nursing management of COPD, from the deployment of spirometry as a diagnostic tool at the family practice level to newly approved treatment options, including non-nicotine pharmacotherapies that reduce the cravings associated with tobacco withdrawal. Among new medical technologies, electronic health records have proven particularly advantageous in the management of COPD, enabling providers to gather, maintain, and reference more patient data than has ever been possible before. Thus, consistent and widespread implementation of electronic health records facilitates the coordination of diverse treatment strategies, resulting in increased positive health outcomes for patients with COPD.
Conclusions
COPD patients can be sub-classified into groups with differing risk factors, comorbidities, and prognosis, based on data included in their primary care records. The identified clusters confirm findings of previous clustering studies and draw attention to anxiety and depression as important drivers of the disease in young, female patients.
Answer: B) replace the dressing with another dressing
Explanation:
An arterial bleed involves the continous flow of blood which if not controlled can lead to problems such as anemia or may even be fatal.
The dressing which is soaked with blood should be replaced with another as the blood may leak out of the soaked dressing.
Answer:
Sarcoplasmic reticulum.`
Explanation:
Muscle fibers are formed by the process of myogenesis in humans. These fibers help in the contraction of the muscle and also helps in the body movement.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a cell organelle present in the muscle fibers that corresponds to the structure of endoplamsic reticulum. Sarcoplasmic reticulum stores the calcium ions in the muscle fibers.
Thus, the answer is sarcoplasmic reticulum.
