for adaptation to heart failure.” I chose this topic because this article was very interesting to me. It gave me a better understanding of the application of Roy Adaptation Mode (as the framework). The article explained Roy’s four mode of adaptation including physiological mode‚ self-concept/group mode‚ role function mode‚ and interdependence mode. The study showed a strong relationship in between Roy Adaptation modes and heart failure patients. I have seen many of heart failure patients on the

is a failure of the circulatory system. This causes an insufficient amount blood to be supplied throughout the body. 2. Explain the perfusion triangle as it relates to three components of circulation The perfusion triangle consists of the heart (pump)‚ blood vessels (pipe)‚ and blood (fluid). When everything in the perfusion triangle is working properly‚ adequate blood and oxygen are provided to all cells in the body. When there is pump failure‚ pipe failure‚ or fluid loss‚ circulation failure occurs

high blood pressure. Although he is not suffering from a heart attack‚ his doctor explains to him that a heart attack is quite possible. What did the chest pain indicate? Why is this man a prime candidate for a heart attack? Symptoms indicate angina pectoris‚ because of his coronary arteries are closing (atherosclerosis)‚ the heart muscle could be deprived of blood‚ and therefore oxygen; if vessels continue to close his risk of heart attack goes up. 4. A patient was admitted to the hospital

PhD. MSN.RN July 30‚ 2017 Case Study# 2 1. Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome that involves dysfunction of the cardiac muscle‚ it occurs with “any of disorders that damage or overwork the heart muscle” (Karch‚ 2017 p.751). Some of the disorders that may lead to HF are: coronary artery disease‚ cardiomyopathy‚ hypertension‚ and valvular heart disease (Karch‚ 2017). What ends up happening as a result of these disorders‚ is that the heart muscle cannot effectively pump blood throughout the vascular

The most exciting bit of information that I found made this cardiac nurse’s heart flutter when the NINR included heart failure patients in their self management research trials. The self management theme is one of four that was built on the NINR’s Strategic Plan to meet the health care needs of Americans. The Strategic Plan is divided into five areas

The term shock is used to describe a clinical syndrome which is characterized by severe circulatory failure leading to impaired tissue perfusion‚ impaired cellular respiration and metabolism‚ consistent development of organ dysfunction‚ organ failure and death. The shock is always a life-threatening condition‚ which is why the diagnosis‚ evaluation and treatment of patients with circulatory shock should be implemented simultaneously. There are three degrees of shock: 1 Stage I (also called compensated

Another sub-category of damage and error theory that can be applied to both Mr. S and Mrs. M is the rate of living theory‚ which notes a shorter lifespan with greater rate of oxygen basal metabolism. Since Mr. S suffers from fluid retention and has heart disease this leads me to believe that he is not managing his medications properly and is slowly headed towards right- sided heart failure‚ which could
