Cardiovascular Disorders

Discussion: Cardiovascular Disorders

Veins and arteries are vital elements of the cardiovascular system. They carry the blood supply through the body and are essential for proper function. Sometimes veins and arteries malfunction, resulting in cardiovascular disorders. Malfunctions of arteries and veins are similar to malfunctions of a water hose. Consider the structure and function of a hose. A tap releases water, which then travels through the hose and comes out the other end. If the hose has been dormant for several months, dirt and rusty particles might build up inside, resulting in a restricted flow of water. Similarly, buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries restricts blood flow and leads to disorders such as coronary heart disease. This disease is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (2011), is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. In this Discussion, you examine the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease.

To Prepare

  • Review this week’s media presentation on alterations of cardiovascular functions, as well as Chapter 24 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
  • Select one patient factor: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.
  • Select one of the following alterations of cardiovascular disorders: peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or dysrhythmia. Think about how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected.

Post a description of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders, including how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology. Then, explain how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected for patients with the factor you identified.

Pick any that you want.

The growth, development, and learned behaviors

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the   first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual   throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental   factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and   develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker   notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your   PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an   additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional   slide for references at the end.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the     environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health     or safety of infants.
  2. Create a health promotion plan that     can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor     and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
  3. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety     promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and     the health or safety of infants.
  4. Offer examples,     interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At     least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three     resources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
  5. Provide readers with two community resources, a national     resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and     contact information for each resource.
  6. In developing your     PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level     of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the     caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any     other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the     presentation is tailored

Introduction: Open your statement with a few sentences about the importance of a philosophy of nursing practice. How does such a philosophy shape your identity and role as a nurse?

Assumptions: Discuss your assumptions about patients, health, environment, and nursing and the relationships among these variables. How does your nursing philosophy guide your interaction with patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals? How do professional integrity, equity, ethics, and the potential for bias factor into your assumptions?
