Today, I cared for a 60-year-old male who came to the ER with the chief complaint of chest pain. He was then diagnosed with Non-ST Elevation MI (NSTEMI). After assessing my patient, I found that all findings were within defined limits such as his lung, heart and bowel sounds. Some problems I found though were that he was a smoker and his lab values showed he was at a high 6.7 risk for coronary artery disease. Because of these findings I believe potential problems include acute pain, altered tissue perfusion, and activity intolerance. I believe activity tolerance could be a problem because the patient stated the chest pain subsides with rest. My first nursing diagnosis is acute pain r/t MI. Interventions for this diagnosis included applying
To determine if the patient’s chest pain is related to injury, you would look for ST-segment elevation. Myocardial injury represents a worsening stage of ischemia. If ST-segment elevation is greater than or equal to 1mm above the isoelectric line, it is significant and treatment needs to be prompt and effective to try to restore oxygen to the myocardium, and to avoid or limit infarction. The absence of serum cardiac markers confirms that infarction has not

Mr. Howard, a 57-year-old man, had a 3-month history of progressive typical anginal chest pain. He reported that the symptoms first occurred with heavy exertion and involved what he described as“heaviness” in his chest. The symptoms were promptly relieved with rest. Over the past weeks, he had been experiencing increasingly frequent episodes of chest pain and diaphoresis. The episodes had become more prolonged, and he had experienced one episode of pain occurring at rest after a heavy meal. Mr. Howard was moderately obese and had a 20-year history of hypertension, which was being treated. Other risk factors in Mr. Howard’s history include hypercholesterolemia (350 mg/dL), which he was attempting to treat with dietary modifications, and a 30-year two-pack-a-day smoking history which continued up to the present time. Mr. Howard previously had surgery for a bilateral inguinal hernia repair, cholecystectomy, and arthroscopic surgery on his left knew.

194-195). The fourth nursing diagnosis that pertains to her is anxiety related her inability to breath adequately without support, the unknown outcome, her inability to speak from intubation, a change in the environment, a change in health status, and her not having insurance, and this is evidenced by restlessness, being unable to sedate her, and her uncooperative behavior(Gulanick & Myers, 2014, p. 416).

You had a recent episode of lower leg edema (swelling) which your primary care physician prescribed Lasix (medicine to get rid of fluid). You vital signs were within normal limits and there was no oxygen saturation (rest) provided. Your electrocardiogram (recording of your heart activity) was Sinus (normal). In emergency room you received 30 milligram of Lovenox (blood thinner) and Methylprednisolone (medicine to help with breathing). You were admitted, started on aspirin, Cardiac enzymes (test) were done and your first troponin (test) was negative (no other results provided). You were continued on Prednisone (medicine) 10 milligram daily; restarted on Coumadin (blood thinner), Diltiazem (medicine), and a low salt diet was recommended as well as you received Albuterol via a nebulizer (breathing treatment) every 4 hours. Your pulmonary (breathing specialist) consult states that the shortness of breath was most likely due to deconditioning (changes in body with inactivity), obesity (over weight), and less likely due to Sarcoidosis (inflammatory disease). Chest pain syndrome was musculoskeletal (muscle-bone) in origin as it was reproducible (pain present when area is pushed

People never get tired in everything they do when there is love and enthusiasm. As a student, I put much effort in everything I do because I never wanted to have regrets at the end of time for not giving my best in the first place. I came to the realization that when you love what you do, no matter how many hardships would come along the way, no matter how complicated things could be, you could possibly get through all of them without any hesitations because you know you wanted something to happen and it is worth fighting for. The NSTP (CWTS) program inspired me to become a better person because of the experiences that had happened, the memories that were built and the people that I have met. I have seen how lucky I am as a person compared
