Unit Six Workbook Assignment
I would use this opportunity to teach her about the signs and symptoms that
indicate that she is in need of medical intervention such as chest pain, like a
heavy weight on your chest or a pain going up the left arm or neck or back,
and when she should go to the ER for prompt medical attention or when to
come to the office. As I was handing her the outline of emergency medical
intervention leaflet. I would be asking if she had any questions that maybe I
could answer. Then I would go over any questions and review the leaflet
with her, making sure the patient and her family would know the signs in
which to look for and know what to do in case the need should arrive.
Also I would talk about some changes she is going to have to make such as
diet, no smoking, and exercise explain that her condition is mainly due to a
build -up of fatty deposits called plaques
2. Hypertension
I would hand him material on high blood pressure and telling him it is best
he follow the doctor advice and keep taking his medications because he is
feeling this way because his medications are working. I would remind him
that Hypertension was a silent killer because it lulls you into a sense of well
being, and as a result of the sense of well being you stop taking your
medications and then you are in a mess with it going out of control again
As you know Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is one type of a heart related
condition. Congestive Heart Failure or CHF means your heart does not meet
the needs of your body in supplying enough blood but it can be treated
through medications and changing your diet and lowering your salt intake as
well avoiding stress. It is important for you to make these changes and you
might be able to control this condition
4. Atherosclerosis
Up on giving her the leaflet on atherosclerosis, I would tell her that over
time, the vessels in her heart started getting smaller due plaque buildup ,
which consists of fatty deposits, cholesterol, calcium, and other things that
are normally in the blood and over time these deposits stick to the arteries
walls and harden which atherosclerosis is the result. Follow the doctor’s
advice and take your medications.
5. Raynaud’s Phenomenon
It is a very cold day, and the patient has just seen the
physician after a severe attack of her condition. Even
though the physician has previously advised her
about the importance of avoiding situations where
she is exposed to severe cold, she continues to go
outside without gloves and head covering. The
physician requests you provide the patient with
printed information concerning her condition and
reinforce the fact that exposure to severe cold will
cause severe pain. How do you approach this patient-
teaching opportunity?
