The purpose of this post is to define the three learning theories and evaluate one theory related to Cardiovascular Disease in my community. The population to be focused on will be a centering group in an outpatient clinic. Lastly‚ listing two teaching strategies for the education of the group. There are three learning theories‚ Humanistic‚ Cognitive‚ and Social (Nies & McEwen‚ 2015). The humanistic theory encourages people to be self-directed and holistic. The cognitive theory is the patient’s

An Analysis of the Main Causes of Cardiovascular Diseases There are a great number of diseases such as cancer and HIV around the world. However‚ cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now arousing public attention due to its increasing effect on populations. ‘Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the name for the group of disorders of heart and blood vessels such as hypertension‚ coronary heart disease‚ stroke‚ and peripheral vascular diseases’ (WHO‚ 2012). CVD has enormous impacts on health and kills an estimated

THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the term used to describe the diseases affecting the heart‚ arteries and blood vessels. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading public health problem in the UK with costs exceeding £30 billion per year. Mortality rates from the disease continue to fall‚ mainly due to a combination of public awareness of the risk factors and understanding of the need to lead a healthier life. However

RESPIRATORY PIGMENTS Colored‚ metal-containing proteins that combine reversibly with oxygen‚ found in the body fluids or tissues of multi-cellular invertebrate animals and microorganisms. The role of these pigments is primarily to aid in the transport of molecular oxygen. Thus they are distinguished from respiratory enzymes‚ which are concerned with the metabolic consumption of oxygen. Four distinctly colored groups of respiratory pigments exist among invertebrates: hemoglobins (purple‚ become orange-red

A. Patient Diagnosis: Acute Respiratory Failure (hypoxic and hypercapnic) Patient Intervention: gait training – progressing from walker to cane B. Pathology for Diagnosis: Acute Respiratory Failure can result from any irregularity in the components of the respiratory system. Moreover‚ patients who go into cardiogenic shock because of hypoperfusion often experience respiratory failure. “Respiratory failure may result from either a reduction in ventilatory capacity or an increase in ventilatory demand

Respiratory Rate and Tidal Volume [pic] The total amount of air moved in and out of the lungs each minute (pulmonary ventilation) depends upon 2 factors: size of each breath (tidal volume) and number of breaths/minute (respiratory rate). For example‚ suppose your tidal volume is 500 mL (0.5 liters) and you breathe 15 times/minute. Your pulmonary ventilation = 15 breaths/min x 0.5 L/breath = 7.5 L/min. Pulmonary Ventilation = (Respiratory rate; breaths per minute) x Pulmonary Ventilation

One of the biggest concerns in healthcare today is cardiovascular disease. Affecting 36% of the US population alone‚ cardiovascular disease can lead to stroke‚ heart attack‚ and even death (22). Extensive research has been done investigating the causes of cardiovascular diseases. Lipids and lipoproteins have been implicated to be one of the largest factors contributing to cardiovascular disease. In order to reduce cardiovascular disease we must understand lipid metabolism. To understand lipid metabolism

skeletal muscles and organ systems. In order to accommodate this rise in oxygen demand there must be an increase in the subject’s minute ventilation. The rise in minute volume‚ with exercise‚ could be accomplished by increasing the volume of each breath‚ the tidal volume‚ increasing the respiratory rate or by some combination of the two. In the subject’s case it was a combination of the two. Tidal volume is more effective at increasing minute ventilation than respiratory rate‚ however‚ if a subject

As respiratory therapist it is imperative to ensure that the treatment given is of top quality as well as efficient and cost-effective. In the pass‚ quality care was hindered by improper recommendations on therapy for patients from physicians‚ which led to increased cost in respiratory care. As a result‚ medical directors of respiratory care and RT’s have implemented protocols to keep misallocations from occurring. In addition‚ to the regulations created‚ having properly trained and educated RT’s
