- Bob is a 36 year old construction worker. He is mildly overweight (BMI=27), has hypertension, a family history of heart disease, no structured exercise and he is presently trying to quit smoking. One month ago, he complained of chest pain at work, and was rushed to hospital. A coronary angiogram confirmed that he had two (2) blocked arteries. Physicians tried to do angioplasty to open his clogged arteries but the procedure did not work. Subsequently, as a preventive measure, Bob had open heart surgery. His recovery in the hospital was excellent. His follow-up Bruce protocol test results (performed at rehab facility) are below. Previous exercise history/diet history: never exercised before. Only reason he is exercising is because his wife and doctor have told him he needs to. Eats fast food for lunch every day. Only healthy meal is dinner. Summary of Client Interview: thinks he gets enough exercise at work. “Hey I work hard all day, isn’t that enough?” “When I’m I going to possibly…arrow_forwardExplain the difference between the four primary blood types that are described by the ABO system. Be sure to address why these differences lead to the incompatibilities observed when it comes to blood donations and transfusions.arrow_forwardYou are assigned to care for an 80-year-old man admitted to the hospital yesterday with acute coronary syndrome who had an emergent percutaneous coronary intervention with a stent placement. When you walk into his room, he states, “That last nurse gave me a medication I don’t think I was supposed to have. She told me it was metoprolol, but it looked different from the metoprolol I got yesterday.” You note that the patient’s heart rate is now 56 beats per minute (bpm), although the previous day it had been between 72 and 88 bpm. According to the patient’s chart, he received the prescribed dose of metoprolol 4 hours ago. The prescribed dosage of this medication was not changed; it was the same yesterday. What actions should be taken? Should this information be communicated to your supervisor? What is the care priority for the patient? What evidence supports or does not support disclosure of medication administration errors to patients? What steps would you take and in what orderarrow_forward
- Currently, the news regarding ‘pig heart transplantation to humans’ has become a controversial issue in worldwide. This issue also is an advancement in cell/ tissue culture context. Based on this,please give me a conclusion paragraph from this ‘pig heart transplantation to humans’.arrow_forwardWhat would you do to confirm that genetics is involved with familial hypertension and atherosclerosis? Explain your answer in 3-5 sentences.arrow_forwardHemostasis is a quick and localized sequence (cascade) of events that helps to prevent a hemorrhage from occurring when a blood vessel is damaged. Hemostasis involves – amongst other things – the formation of a platelet plug. Describe the three steps involved in the formation of a platelet plug. What complication may arise if a platelet plug (thrombus) were to detach and travel through the circulatory system? How does Aspirin help prevent a thrombus from occurring?arrow_forward
- As a patient is dying, at what point does it become ethical to disconnect life-support equipment and remove organs for donation?arrow_forwardSelect all the options below which are false of hemostasis. | aspirin is an effective "blood thinner" (anticoagulant) because it prevents the formation and release of ADP by platelet plugs | after damage to a vessel, the immediate reaction is vasodilation to bring more white blood cells in and prevent infection O factor X is the converging point of both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the clotting cascade when platelets begin to aggregate, a negative feedback loop begins to cause more platelets to aggregatearrow_forwardDon't explain, I just want the correct choisearrow_forward
