What purpose does the DASH diet have

stopping hypertension

Nictotine Withdrawal

the process that occurs in the body when nicotine, an addictive drug, is no longer used

Nutrition therapy for CVD

• Consume a dietary pattern that emphasizes intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. • Consume low-fat dairy products, poultry (without the skin), fish, legumes, nontropical (e.g., canola) vegetable oils, and nuts. • Limit intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meats. • Aim for a dietary pattern that includes 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat; limiting trans fats.

What is the main difference between PVD and PAD?

PVD is not an oxygen problem, PAD is an oxygen problem. Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart whereas arteries cannot get oxygenated blood to the rest of the body

The ______ level (normal value is 95 to 100 mm Hg), or partial pressure of oxygen, indicates how well the lungs are functioning. The _______ level (normal value is 35 to 45 mm Hg), or partial pressure of carbon dioxide, indicates how well the lungs are functioning in blowing off or retaining carbon dioxide as needed to help correct the acid-base imbalance. The bicarbonate level, or ______ (normal value is 21 to 28 mEq/L [21 to 28 mmol/L), indicates how well the kidneys are excreting or reabsorbing base as needed.

PaO2 PaCO2 HCO3

Two main red flags in a PVD assessment?

Pain-unrelieved at rest Paresthesia

The nurse is caring for a client with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Which symptom will the nurse anticipate? Decreased pain when legs are elevated Unilateral swelling of affected leg Reproducible leg pain with exercise Pulse oximetry reading of 90%

Reproducible leg pain with exercise The symptom the nurse assesses the client with PAD is reproducible leg pain with exercise. Claudication (leg pain with ambulation due to ischemia) is reproducible in similar circumstances.Unilateral swelling is typical of venous problems such as deep vein thrombosis. With PAD, pain decreases with legs in the dependent position. Pulse oximetry readings reflect the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin. PAD results from atherosclerotic occlusion of peripheral arteries.

Smoking

Modifiable risk factors for CAD

Smoking, inactivity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, cholesterol management and stress.

Paresthesia

abnormal sensation of numbness and tingling without objective cause

ABI test

ankle brachial index test

Myopathy

any pathologic change or disease of muscle tissue

infarction

area of dead tissue

Eschar

dead matter that is sloughed off from the surface of the skin, seen in PAD

Nicotine stimulates the release of?

dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, glutamate, and endorphins

essential hypertension

The clinic nurse is reviewing medication instructions with a patient taking nicotine replacement gum for smoking cessation.

"While chewing the gum, I will periodically hold the gum between my cheek and teeth."

"I can continue to smoke a cigarette once in a while when taking this drug." Cigarette smoking while using nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) agents such as gum may cause nicotine overdose
