Pulmonary disorders (pneumonia, pulmonary embolism)
Sharp, severe substernal or epigastric pain arising from inferior portion of the pleura. patient may be able to localize pain
60-100 impulses per minute
The SA node fires at a rate of what per minute
blood pressure
The major action of intravenous nitroglycerin is venous and then arterial dilation, leading to a decrease in
Relieved by sublingual nitroglycerin
What does a nurse who is caring for a client experiencing anginal pain expect to observe about the pain?
Asking the client to sit or stand slowly
What is the priority nursing action when caring for a client receiving nitroglycerin for the treatment of angina?
myocardial ischemia
a disorder that usually is caused by a critical coronary artey obstruction, which is also known as atherscleotic coronary artery disease (CAD)
sitting upright, analgesia, anti-inflammatory medications
alleviating factors of pericarditis
stroke volume
amount of blood ejected with each heartbeat
angina
can radiate across chest to the medial aspect of one or both arms and hands, jaw, shoulders, upper back, or epigastric
normal = 4-6 liters/min
cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the ventricles in liters per minute. normal liters??
Sharp or stabbing pain localized in anterior chest most often unilateral can radiate across chest to epigastrium or back. from using your muscles***
