Diagnosis Of Disease Of A Patient

(Marieb and Hoehn, 2010, p 703) defined Blood Pressure (BP) as ‘the force per unit area exerted on a vessel wall by the contained blood, and is expressed in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg)’. BP is still one of the essential and widely used assessment tools in healthcare settings. Nurses generally record the arterial BP which is the forced exerted blood that flows through the arteries, to establish a baseline and to determine any risk factors. BP

The head to toe physical assessment is to be performed in less than 10 minutes using a stethescope, pen light, your hands, and observational skills. It comprises of four different techniques: IPPA inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. This sequence, in apparent order, is used for al systems except for the abdominal assessment, which requires auscultation before palpation and percussion. Inspection is visually examining the person, focusing on one area of the body at a time. Palpation is using touch, feeling for texture, size, consistency, and location of body parts. Auscultation is listening for sounds within the body, mainly listening the lungs, heart, as well as the abdomen with the use of a stethoscope. Percussion is tapping an area of the body with the fingers and is usually a special assessment skill that the RN or physician uses, not a practical student nurse.

1.  Blood pressure is the force of circulating blood against the walls of the arteries. The pressure of blood in the arteries correlates directly to the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance in the

An abnormal heartbeat can be an indicator for other issues, such as a damaged heart valve. The next step is checking percussion, this portion of the examination the provider will tap on the patient's chest and abdomen. The provider is looking and listening for a specific sound under normal conditions. If there is a change in fluids or air there will be a different sound. The last portion of the physical examination is palpation. The provider will apply pressure using his fingers feeling along the body regions and organs. Palpation provides information about the size of an organ and changes in its consistency, shape, and tenderness, and can help determine the presence of a foreign mass. Based on the results of Mr. Smith's physical examination the provider determined that additional labs would need to be drawn. The provider ordered a complete blood count, which includes: a platelet, red blood cell, and white blood cell count, as well as a blood potassium check. Mr. Smith's labs were not within the normal limits, so the provider admitted him into the hospital. Hospital staff treated his deficiencies and sent him

Blood pressure (BP) as defined by Marieb and Hoehan (as cited in Peate & Wild, 2012) is the pressure that the blood puts on the blood vessel walls as the blood travels around the body controlled by the heart. The strength of the blood pushing on the blood vessel wall is the BP reading. According

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood that is against the arterial walls.

Percussion: I would put my two fingers on the area of my patient and tap directly on the body part and ask my patient if they are in pain, and I would also focus on their verbal and non-verbal to determine how painful the area is. This technique would help me notice any tenderness, shape, and position of the organs. I have checked the abdomen and is not solid and it is not full of gas or fluid. My finding would be documented.

In order for the classroom to be a successful learning environment we have to follow three major keys. Those three major keys are listening,participate, and attend class everyday. Those major keys are the top three rules that you will need to succeed in this class.

Physical examination: clinicians checked lesions and other signs on the body parts and it is used to identified any signs

It is the measurement of the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. A blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope is what are used to measure this. While taking you blood pressure two numbers are recorded; Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the higher number that refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart contracts and pumps blood through the body. Diastolic pressure is the lower number and refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart is at rest and is filling with blood. Having high blood pressure can increase the risk of coronary heart disease (i.e. heart attack, stroke).

Monitoring of SLE in clinical practice is based upon differentiating disease activity from organ damage accrual. A variety of disease activity indices have been formulated, including the SLEDAI (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index), SLAM (Systemic Lupus Activity Measure), BILAG (British Isles Lupus Assessment Group) (Ben-Menachem, 2011).

In efforts to devise an appropriate diagnosis, let’s first consider what we know. Steven comes from a diverse and multicultural background with substantial family dynamics, had a significant shift in societal demographics (i.e., moved cross country), has expectations of being a first time father and, perceived financial responsibilities, combined with the thought he’s living an altered life that people don’t know about. Taken together, Steven’s unremitting worry and constant anticipation of failure, noted by his primary care physician, has warranted his need for therapy. For these reasons, it’s important to determine an accurate clinical diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan for Steven; to help prevent his symptoms from worsening or becoming

The patient's judgment, insight and impulse control remains poor. He still unable to provide care for himself and still threatening to run into the busy traffic as he wants the fast running cars hit him to die. He admitted trouble falling asleep, feeling helpless, hopeless and worthless. He said "I want to disappear in this world, my father lied to me, it’s too much for me to stay alive, I can't take it anymore". He insisted that his life is not worth living, still presents disorganized thought process and presents no insight to the consequences of his actions. He still refused to contract for safety, remains a danger to self. He needs a continuous inpatient psychiatric hospital level of care as he refuses top contract for safety.
