Case Study Pj And His Wife
I agree with you that PJ should be advised to keep track of when his chest pain occurs and the times he is medicating himself with nitroglycerin. PJ has a history of stable angina, thus he would also benefit from educational material that will help him control the risk factors that causes it and complications such as heart attack and sudden death. PJ and his wife should be educated on lifestyle modification as recommended by the cardiologist that include; regular exercise, healthy weight, low cholesterol diet, stress management and techniques, and smoking cessation if applicable. They should also be educated on medications and their side effects that are used to control his symptoms such as: beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, antiplatelet

    Based on all the evidence presented, I believe that Mr. S has clinically significant CAD. His blood pressure of 142/88 indicated that he has isolated systolic hypertension. I know Mr. S is overweight because of his BMI reading being over 25, which also is a leading factor for type 2 diabetes. Glucose has accumulated in his blood because of his type 2 diabetes and cannot be picked up by insulin because it is deficient in his body. This glucose accumulation can be built up and another factor for plaque build up known as atherosclerosis. The fact that Mr. S smokes two and a half packs of cigarettes a day is also a factor that majorly contributes to CAD. Nicotine and other toxins in cigarettes can build up and block blood flow to the heart and therefore decrease Mr. S cholesterol level is 250 mg/dl, which is high along with his LDL and Triglyceride level. His HDL levels are low, which is bad because this is the good cholesterol for the body. All…

However, medications to dissolve a clot must be given early. Also, do not drive yourself or anyone else to the hospital. The second step is to monitor the victims breathing. If he/she becomes unresponsive and stops breathing begin CPR. The third step is to help the victim to get in the most comfortable resting position, usually sitting.
