Case summary:
Mr. Heyden (72 age) was taken to the emergency room after he met with an accident. According to the paramedic's report, his left side got pinned beneath the tractor at his farm and his lower part also appeared as compressed. The blood pressure of Mr. Heyden was continuously fallen down and heart rate was 116 beats per minute. He complains about the pain in his left side and then lost all of his consciousness.
Characters in the case:
Mr. Heyden.
Adequate information:
The blood pressure of Mr. Heyden was continuously fallen down and heart rate was 116 beats per minute.
To determine:
The decreased blood pressure can be compensated by changing the hormonal level in Mr. Heyden’s body.

- Patient Ch., 29 y/o, was taken to the cardiology department. Objectively: he has cold cyanotic extremities, infrequent and noisy respiration, of Kussmaul’s type, alternating with shallow breathing, weak pulse, and arterial pressure – 60/35 mm column of mercury. There are clear signs of vascular collapse – flattened veins, especially in the neck. ECG shows ciliary arrhythmia. Glycemia - 23mmol/l, PH – 7.1. The content of ketone bodies is 23mg%. What is your diagnosis?A. Cardiovascular form of ketoacidotic coma B. Renal form of ketoacidotic coma C. Uremic coma. D. Myocardial infarctionE. Hyperlactacidemic comaarrow_forwardMr S. is a 45-year-old man who has just been admitted to the ICU postoperative cardiac surgery. He has had an uneventful coronary artery bypass graft with no complications in the operating room. He is intubated and placed on complete mechanical ventilation. His vital signs are: blood pressure (BP) 150/90 mm Hg, heart rate 86 beats per minute, respiratory rate 12 breaths per minute, and temperature 35.3°C The target systolic BP for Mr S. is less than 130 mm Hg and the surgeon’s postoperative orders include BP medications and intravenous morphine sulfate for pain. In addition, the surgeon prescribes an nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ketorolac, to be administered to the patient once it has been determined that they are not bleeding excessively and have acceptable renal function. The ICU where Mr S. is admitted has a respiratory therapist (RT) on staff. This RT is aware that mechanical ventilation is very uncomfortable for patients. There is a standing order in the ICU that heart…arrow_forwardexplain why blood pressure readings taken at the leg as accurate as the usual method.arrow_forward

- 19) Male,30 years old, came to the clinic with paroxysmal palpitations for 2 days. Physical examination BP:125/70 mmHg. HR: 190 bpm, the heart rhythms and the sounds are normal. 1 minute later his heart rate suddeniy decreased to 80 bpm with the normal heart rhythm. What is his most likely clinical diagnosis?

For the past month, she has been taking the following medications for management of her heart condition: Digoxin 0.25mg once daily Warfarin (Coumadin) 5mg once daily During her F/U visit, you notice that Mrs. Pender has developed purpura on her arms & lower legs. When you ask her about these “purple spots” she states that she started noticing them about a week ago. The provider has ordered serum LFTs & renal function tests 1.Based on the knowledge of drug pharmacokinetics, how should the nurse explain to the patient the possible cause of the purpura? 2.Mrs. Pender’s renal function test results show mild kidney impairment. What changes can the nurse anticipate regarding the patient’s medication regimen? 3.The patient asks the nurse, “Why did you have to check the function of my liver?” What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?arrow_forwardM.H. is an 80-year-old Caucasian female who is married and lives with her spouse. She presents to your office today with her spouse, feeling “coocoo, I just don’t feel right.” Currently she is taking rosuvastatin prescribed by her cardiologist for hyperlipidemia and a daily 325 mg aspirin. She drinks 3–6 hard liquor drinks a day, 3–4 times a week in the evening, and has a 65-year smoking habit, currently smoking two packs per day (ppd). She has no known allergies. Past surgical history includes hysterectomy for a benign fibroid. Family history of breast cancer in three sisters, Type 2 diabetes and CVA in one sister, cancer of unknown origin in one brother. All siblings and parents are deceased. Her husband reports that she is hard of hearing. He feels that it is due to cerumen build-up in her ears. She refuses to have the buildup removed.
