Why do you not give a thrombolytic to an Acute coronary syndrome patient? - (ANSWER)-Intracranial
pathology
-Active bleeding
S/S for Anemia Skin changes - (ANSWER)-Pale / Yellow skin
-Cool skin
S/S of anemia Cardiovascular compromise - (ANSWER)-Tachycardia
-Hypotension
S/S of anemia Respiratory - (ANSWER)SOB
S/S of anemia Neurological - (ANSWER)-Fatigue
-Weakness
Diet changes for Anemia patients - (ANSWER)-Iron rich deficiency
(leafy greens, Fe supplements: take with orange juice, black/tarry stools)(avoid taking with milk blocks
absorption)
-B12 deficiency
(beef, chicken, salmon, fortified breakfast cereal, low fat milk, eggs)
-Folate deficiency
(broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, kidney beans)
Priority treatment and action for a Aortic dissection - (ANSWER)-Control BP, aim for a systolic 100-200Hg
-Establish 2 large bore IV's and start fluids as ordered rate, as well as other necessary meds
-Prepare for surgery

COMPLETE SOLUTION!!
Treatment & nursing care for Aortic dissection - (ANSWER)-Medications such as beta blockers,
antihypertensive, analgesics, blood products
-Aneurysmectomy
-Endovascular stent grafts
-Abdominal aortic repair
Risk factors for Atherosclerosis - (ANSWER)-Age
-Genetics/ Ethnicity
-Hyperlipidemia (High LDL & Low HDL)
-DM
-Obesity, Sedentary life, Smoking
Diets for Atherosclerosis patients - (ANSWER)Dash diet
Vegetables, Fruit, Whole grain, Low fat free diary, Fish, poulty, bean, nuts, vegetable oils,
Limit foods high in sugar, high in saturated fat like fat meats
Discharge education for Atherosclerosis patients - (ANSWER)-Focus on Diet and managment of HDL and
LDL
Asystole priority action - (ANSWER)Compressions
Atrial fibrillation complications - (ANSWER)•Can impair QoL
•Linked to major morbidity and mortality - especially clotting concerns - embolic stroke, DVT, or PE
•Disorganized atrial impulses create 'quivers' to atria
•There is no atrial kick
•Ventricular contracts are irregularly usually at a rate of 120-200
•This irregularity increases cardiac blood pooling, increasing risk of clot formation
