Nitroglycerin transdermal patches (nitro patches) are used to prevent angina (chest pain) caused by narrowing of blood vessels in coronary artery disease (CAD). It does not work to relieve the pain of an angina attack that has already started. Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator; it works by relaxing the blood vessels (expanding the narrowed vessels) so that the heart does not need to work as hard.
A full-term male newborn who was delivered via repeat cesarean delivery and whose mother had diabetes mellitus. In order to identify potential RDS risk factors, the maternal history must be examined. Male gender, cesarean birth without prior labor, and maternal diabetes, which results in high levels of insulin that impede the formation of surfactant, are risk factors for the term infant that place the infant at greatest danger.

What is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)?</h3>
- When a baby is born early (prematurely), their lungs are not fully matured, which causes respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). A baby is more likely to develop RDS and require additional oxygen and assistance breathing the earlier in life they are born.
- RDS is brought on by the infant's lungs not producing adequate surfactant. At around week 26 of pregnancy, the lungs begin to produce a liquid called surfactant. The lungs produce more surfactant as the fetus develops.

Tell the child that it might fell like a pinch, and have someone hold their arm to comfort them, also tell the child that it will be over quick. This will make the child less scared.
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.
