HTN contributes to the development of heart disease, heart failure, chronic renal failure requiring dialysis, stroke, peripheral vascular disease and cognitive decline. The risk of cardiovascular events doubles for every 20/10mmHg rise in blood pressure above 115/70mmHg. Untreated HTN causes progressive renal and vascular damage, eventually leading to a treatment resistant state. Hypertension is usually diagnosed and treated in the community. As this is largely an asymptomatic disease, particularly

solve these problems: 1. A handbook lists the normal boiling point of isooctane as 99.2°C and it’s enthalpy of vaporization as 35.76 kJ/mol. Calculate the vapor pressure in atm of isooctane at standard temperature. ….. you should get an answer of 0.0565 atm. Work it out so you know how! 2. Cyclohexanol has a vapor pressure of 10.0mmHg at 56°C and 100.0mmHg at 103.7°C. Calculate it’s enthalpy of vaporization, ΔHvap. ….. you should get an answer of 49.7 kJ/mol. Practice until you get

vessels exerts pressure against the vessel walls. This blood pressure is highest in the aorta. It decreases as the blood moves through the arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. With each contraction of the heart, you can feel the expansion and recoil of the elastic arteries where they pass near the surface of the skin. This is the pulse. When you take your pulse, you measure heart rate – the number of times the heart contracts per minute. As you have seen, blood pressure is a measure of

1. Describe nursing care of the post angioplasty patient. A coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open an area of the arterial blockage in the heart that has become narrowed. This allows better blood flow through the artery and to the heart muscle. It is often done with a catheter that has an inflatable small sausage-shaped balloon at its tip. Coronary angioplasty is being increasingly used as a treatment for coronary artery disease; the proper evaluation and management of patients after the
