◉ What are risk factors for poor perfusion, modifiable and
nonmodifiable risk factors, populations at risk.
Answer: Good perfusion is needed for a lifetime therefore everyone is at
risk for poor tissue perfusion
There are non-modifiable risk factors (genetics, family hx) and
modifiable risk factors (smoking, diet)
Modifiable risk factors- smoking (nicotine vasoconstricts), elevated
serum lipids (contribute to atherosclerosis), sedentary lifestyle
(contributes to obesity), Obesity (increased risk for type 2 diabetes, and
atherosclerosis), Diabetes Melitus (increased risk of atherosclerosis),
Hypertension (increases work of myocardium)
Unmodifiable risk factors- age (risk increases with age), gender (more
risk for men then women), genetics (family hx, african america men are
at a higher risk for hypertension)
Populations at risk:
Older adults-stiffening and thickening of the heart tissues decreased the
ability to respond to the need for increased circulation and prolongs the
time needed for the heart to return to a resting state after stress.
,Decreased elasticity of arteries limits the consistent forward movement
of blood to organs. The valves in veins become less efficient,
contributing to peripheral edema, and the sluggishness of blood flow
contributes to deep vein thrombrosis.
Low income + low education- are contributing factors to adverse
cardiovascular disease outcomes. Social and psychological factors such
as acess to health care, medical compliance, eating habits, depression,
and stress are thought to play a role in this relationship.
Individual risk factos:
Genetics-predisposition to developing a cardiovascular disease in the
future puts you at a higher risk requiring prevention early.
Lifestyle- lifestyle choices may exacerbate disease among those who
have genetic predisposition, include smoking, inactivity, unhealth diet,
and obesity, all increase risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, which
impair perfusion

◉ what is DVT, which life threatening condition is it associated with,
how do you asses to see if patient has a DVT, what are some risk factors
for developing a DVT, and what are some nursing interventions?
Answer: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a blood clot in a vein.
It is related to 2 life-threatening conditions, Deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) and pulmonary embolism.
,DVT- a clot in a deep vein, usually the leg.
measure calf size daily if at increased irks for DVT, unilateral increase
in leg calf size indicates the early sign/presence of a DVT, use a doppler
to check pedal pulses, tibial pulses, blood flow to leg/foot.
Determine whether the patient is experiencing leg pain by gently
palpating under thighs and along the calves, note any tenderness,
cramping, look for redness, gently palpate for presence of edema,
compare findings in both legs, unilateral redness, tenderness, and edema
all indicate possible DVT
Risk factors for developing deep vein thrombosis- surgery, trauma, long
periods of not moving (bed rest, sitting, long car or airplane trips, cancer
and cancer therapy, past history of DVT, increasing age, pregnancy and
4-6 weeks after giving birth, certain illnesses (heart failure,
inflammatory bowel disease, some kidney disorders, hypertension,
hyperlipidemia, nephrotic syndrome, autoimmune disease, including
systemic lupus erythematosus, obesity, smoking, use of birth control
pills, varicose veins, haiving a tube in a main vein (needed to give meds
over a long period of time, having thrombophilia (one of several
diseasees in which the blood does not clot correctly)
Nursing interventions- bed rest, keep legs elevated, no compression
stocking- can cause the clott to dislodge and travel to lungs causing a
pulmonary embolism, start and continue blood thinner medication until
the clot dissolves completely.
, ◉ What is hypovolemia and what causes it, what happens to the body
once it has this, what should the nurse do?
Answer: Conditions such as shock and severe dehydration cause
extracellular fluid loss and reduced circulating blood volume also known
as hypovolemia
Decreased circulating blood volume (hypovolemia) results in hypoxia to
body tissues.
With significant fluid loss, the body tries to adapt by peripheral
vasoconstriction and by increasing the heart rate to increase the volume
of blood returned to the heart, thus increasing the cardiac output.
Can be caused by dehydration, put the patient in trendelenburg position,
give fluid bolus of normal saline.
◉ What is dehydration, what causes it, what are some s/s, what are some
nursing interventions?
Answer: occurs when there is an extracellular fluid volume imbalance
and hypernatremia.
The EVC is too low, and the body fluids are too concentrated
Clinical dehydration is common with gastroenteritis or other causes of
severe vomiting and diarrhea when people are unable to replace their
fluid output with enough intake of dilute sodium-containing fluids.
S/S of dehydration are Feeling very thirsty, dry mouth, urinating and
sweating less than usual, dark-colored urine, dry skin, feeling tired,
dizziness, headache, skin tenting, low bp, fatigue/weakness, pallor,
