Week 4

Posted on: Monday, March 22, 2021 11:28:26 AM EDT

Greetings Students,

Welcome to week 4.

Great job on your 1st knowledge check. If anyone would like to review, please send me an email and I will be happy to go over your answers.

This week you all will be learning more about arrhythmias, shock and hypertension. Please utilize the information provided under the learning resources.

For your assignments there will be another branching exercise and your second knowledge check. Both of these assignments are due March 29th @ 0159 est.

Please remember to review the rubric and the comments I have made on your previous branching exercise to improve and receive maximum points. NRNP 6566F Week 4: Hypertension and Shock

Here is the information for your branching exercise:

84 y/o Female

Code Status: DNR

PMH: HTN, DM

Home meds: Metoprolol/Insulin/ASA/ Calcium

Wt: 62kg, Ht 5’5

NKDA

Critically think about where you would send this patient from the ER and write admissions orders for that unit. Remember to be specific with your orders. Especially with your nursing orders.

Remember Oxygen is a drug. We shouldn’t be placing oxygen on patients just to place it or if they have a normal O2 sat, ie: 94%. If they have an O2 sat of 92% and above O2 is not indicated. Remember if you just put oxygen on a patient routinely, if something really is going on, it could mask a problem that may warrant an investigation.

Please email me with any you have any questions, comments, concerns. If you would like to have a zoom meeting or phone conference, please email me and we can schedule a time.

Best,

Scenario #3 84 year old female (NRNP 6566F Week 4: Hypertension and Shock)

BACKGROUND

An 84-year-old female is brought in by family with complaints of increased confusion and lethargy.
Patient usually lives alone and is fully functional.
Son reports that she has been increasingly confused and sleeping a lot at home.
Son denies any fever.

Elderly frequently have a low WBC and low body temperature in the presence infection.
Chest x-ray is clear and EKG shows tachycardia but no arrhymia or myocardial hyposia.
The patient remains confused and is becoming more lethargic. Follow up BP is 82/42. Serum lactate level is 4.5. What is your diagnosis now? NRNP 6566F Week 4: Hypertension and Shock

Decision Point Three

Septic Shock

Guidance to Student

Correct!

SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) requires the presence of two of the four factors:

• Temperature less than 36.0 C or greater than 38.0 C
• Heart rate greater than 90 BPM
• Respiratory rate > 24 breaths per minute or PaCO2 < 32
• WBC less than 4,000 or greater than 12,000; or Bandemia>10%

Week 4: Hypertension and Shock

Issues with the heating and cooling system of your home can be relatively benign matters that are addressed easily enough with the help of a visiting technician. But in cases of extreme weather conditions or delayed attention, these matters can seriously threaten the health of the home or its occupants.

Similarly, extreme cardiovascular conditions can pose very serious health risks. Hypertension can lead to severe health complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death. Shock can damage the body’s organs and can also be life-threatening. Effective diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and shock can, therefore, be a critically important and even life-saving endeavor.

This week, you will assess and develop management plans for patients with hypertension, including urgent and emergent conditions. You will review how to differentiate shock states and examine hemodynamic values for those shock states when evaluating treatment goals.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Distinguish between hypertensive urgencies and emergencies
Develop a management plan for hypertensive emergencies
Apply current clinical practice guidelines to address acute and chronic management of hypertension
Distinguish shock states
Develop patient treatment plans for shock
Analyze pharmacologic treatments of shock
Evaluate normal and abnormal hemodynamic monitoring values
Develop appropriate treatment plans, including diagnostics and laboratory orders for patients with hypertension and shock
Identify concepts related to hypertension and shock
