stroke. Hypertension can have primary and secondary causes. There are a series of diagnostic procedure needs to occur to avoid and diagnose hypertension; they involve repeated blood pressure measurements, family histories, laboratory procedures and physical examinations. Patients with established hypertension blood pressure and heart rate should be measured repeatedly with a proper size cuff. In regards to the management of hypertension, lifestyle modifications may need to take place that includes a

This is because the scale measurement is logarithmic and every time the sound increases by 6dBA, the sound intensity doubles. c. Ans 86.3dBA 3. a.

It is hypothesized that the systolic blood pressure measured by the cardiac microphone, and by the finger pulse transducer will be significantly lower when the arm is raised above the head, compared to when the arm is at heart level and below the heart level, and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) determined from the calf will be significantly lower when the subjects are laying down compared to when they are standing up. Rationale: Gravity plays a large role in blood flow. This gravitational pull

monitoring - A waveform on the screen that shows how the electrical conduction through the heart creates a certain type of rhythm. Non Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring (NIBP) - External device that measures blood pressure with a cuff on the patients arm or leg. (Normal BP 120/80 for adult sized.) Arterial Line Monitoring - A form of monitoring Blood Pressure Oximeter Monitoring - Measures oxygen delivery at the capillary level and depicted by number on the screen from 0-100%.

Case study This paper will use a case study approach to explore the registered adult nurse’s role in the holistic care, in the first 24 hours, given to patient presenting with chest pain, caused by a myocardial infarction (MI). Using clinical guidance and evidence based research. The case study will use the ABCDE assessment framework. The resuscitation council (2006) recommends that nurses should follow the ABCDE method when assessing acutely and critically ill patients as it ensures nurses

Larry Garcia Hypertension Case Study Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, affects about 8.1 million Americans, and is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure is dangerous, as it increases the risk for heart attacks and stroke, which is the number one cause of death in the United States. There are typically no warning signs or symptoms associated with high blood pressure. Unfortunately, it is a life time disease once it occurs. Hypertension has multiple

is high blood pressure in the arteries. Blood pressure is the force that pumping blood from heart to all tissues and organs of the bodyvia arteries which against the pressure from the artery walls. Typically, normal blood pressure at resting is about 80-120; blood pressure above that from 89-139is believed "pre-hypertension". Also blood pressure of 90-140 or above that will be calledhypertension.Moreover, although stress and emotional tension can temporarily increase blood pressure; but it won’t

drain (EVD) was inserted. An EVD is a drain that is inserted through the skull into the area of the brain that encountered the haemorrhage, this allows any extra fluid and blood to be drained, and it also assists with maintaining the intracranial pressure (ICP) within the brain at a therapeutic level. An alternative that can be used is an intracranial skull bolt, although this does not enable drainage of fluid it does provide accurate ICP readings, however the EVD drain is considered the gold standard
