Prioritize the following nursing diagnoses based on Malow's Hierarchy of Needs for patients with heart failure:
a. activity intolerance related to insufficient knowledge of adaptive techniques needed secondary to impaired cardiac function
b. risk for ineffective respiratory function related to excessive secretions secondary to cardiopulmonary dysfunction
c. anxiety related to powerlessness and vulnerability
B: physiological, A: safety, C: esteem
Prioritize the following nursing diagnoses based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for a patient with cardiomyopathy.
a. activity intolerance related to insufficient knowledge of adaptive techniques needed secondary to impaired cardiac function
b. risk for ineffective respiratory function related to decreased respiratory depth
c. pain related to friction rub and inflammatory process
__________ __________ is a condition in which the heart is physiologically unable to meet metabolic demands of the tissues.
heart failure - conditions that can produce heart failure are: valvular problems, cardiomyopathies, cardiac inflammatory disease, and trauma to the cardiac tissue.
With heart failure, initially the heart attempts to compensate by increasing the ______ ______ and force of ________.
With heart failure, initially the heart attempts to compensate by increasing the heart rate and force of contraction.
Long-term compensation by the heart causes a negative result - the heart works harder, which in turn worsens the degree of ________ ________.
heart failure
Heart failure is classified in different ways. Which of the following are the ways? (Select all that apply.)
a. the cause of the failure
b. the symptoms it causes
c. the side of the heart that is affected
d. whether the problem is a problem with the muscle's pumping or relaxing
All of the above
DCM is a condition of the ______ ______ having a larger volume to hold with a thinner muscle wall with which to pump.
left ventricle
HCM is a condition of the ventricle having a thickened muscle, which reduces the ________ it can hold and reduces its ability to ______ .
volume; relax
________ is a condition of the wall of the ventricle being restricted from movement.
RCM
__________ is an inflammation of the heart.
Carditis
Carditis is treated with __________ and ________ medication.
antibiotic; pain
Ideally, the blood flows in one direction throughout the heart. __________ causes the direction of some of the bloodflow to change, which results in higher volume of blood in areas that are not prepared to handle it.
regurgitation
Direction changes in the _________ cause the heart to work harder to compensate for the increase in volume of blood.
bloodflow
__________ hinders the momentum of the bloodflow.
stenosis
Decreased momentum of bloodflow results in blood gathering with higher prevalence of _________ and a change in the heart muscle to ensure _________ __________.
