    Introduction

    2/17

    Congestive Heart failure

    Inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it and,

    specifically, failure of the heart to pump blood with normal efficiency

    may be due to failure of the right or left or both ventricles

    This can include shortness of breath (dyspnea), cardiac asthma,

    pooling of blood (stasis) in the systemic circulation or in the liver's

    circulation, swelling (edema), cyanosis, and enlargement of the heart

    as signs and symptoms

    Hypertension

    Generally defined as a persistent elevation of systolic a persistent elevation

    of systolic blood pressure of 140mm of Hg or blood pressure of 140mm of Hg

    or above and diastolic pressure of above and diastolic pressure of 90mm of

    Hg or above.

    Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and

    the

    amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your

    heart pumps

    and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.

    Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks,

    heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic kidney

    failure

    Uncontrolled and prolonged elevation of blood pressure can lead to a variety

    of changes in the myocardial structure, coronary vasculature, and conduction

    system of the heart. These changes can lead to the development of left

    ventricular hypertrophy, coronary artery disease, various conduction system

    diseases, and systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the myocardium, which

    manifest clinically as angina or myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias,

    and congestive heart failure. Thus, hypertensive cardiovascular disease is a

    term applied generally to heart diseases, such as LVH, coronary artery

    disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and CHF, caused by direct or indirect effects of

    elevated BP. Although these diseases generally develop in response to

  • 8/3/2019 CHF, HPN and CAP

    3/17

    chronically elevated BP, marked and acute elevation of BP can also lead to

    accentuation of an underlying predisposition to any of the symptoms

    traditionally associated with chronic hypertension

    Community-Acquired Pneumonia

    It occurs outside of hospitals and other health care settings. Most people get

    CAP by breathing in germs (especially while sleeping) that live in the mouth,

    nose, or throat.

    It is the most common type of pneumonia. Most cases occur during the

    winter. About 4 million people get this form of pneumonia each year. About 1

    out of every 5 people who has CAP needs to be treated in a hospital.

    most common causes of CAP differ depending on a person's age, but they

    include Streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses, the atypical bacteria, andHaemophilus influenzae

    Nursing Theory

    THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

    NOLA PENDERS THEORY: HEALTH PROMOTION MODEL

    The health promotion model is a competence- or approach-oriented model in which the

    motivational source for behavior change is based in the individuals subjective value of the

    changethat is, how our client perceives the benefits of changing the given health behavior.

    The importance of an individuals unique personal factors or characteristics and

    experiences will depend on the target behavior for health promotion. Prior related behavior

    includes previous experience, knowledge, and skill in health-promoting actions.

    Individuals who made a habit of a previous health-promoting behavior and received a

    positive benefit as a result will engage in future health-promoting behaviors.

  • 8/3/2019 CHF, HPN and CAP

    4/17

    In contrast, a person with a history of barriers to achieving the behavior remembers the

    hurdles, which creates a negative effect.

    Nurse can assist by focusing on the positive benefits of the behavior, teaching them howto overcome the hurdles and providing positive feedback for their successes.

    Our interventions usually focus on factors that can be modified. We also focus on factors

    that cannot be changed, such as family history. Like our client who has a family history of

    hypertension, he may neglect self-care practices.

    He may do this out of fear or just feeling that with his family history, it is inevitable that

    he also had hypertension. Nurses should recognize this and direct more support and information

    to this especially offer more hope for a cure.

    Health-promoting behavior is directed toward attaining positive health outcomes for the

    client. Health-promoting behaviors should result in improved health, enhanced functional ability,

    and better quality of life at all stages of development.

    To promote the health of our client, plan of activities is necessary for implementation. It

    includes diet modification specifically Low Salt Low Fat Diet, deep breathing exercise for pain

    management and coughing exercise,frequent positioning and elevation of bed for improvement

    of ventilation.

    As a nurse, one must reinforce clients personal and family health-promoting behaviors. And by

    assisting them to develop and choose health-promoting options.

    EVALUATION

    During the interview, nurse fined it hard to gather data that are necessary in their study. The

    patient was 49years old but having difficulty speaking due to cough. Even though there was a barrier on

    gathering information, the nurse was able to gather needed information because they had also interviewed

    the clients wife and daughter.

    The doctors orders were all put into action by the nurse in charge just like the order for a

    2DECHO. Other than that, there were some other laboratory tests that were undertaken by the client for

    further monitoring. There were many medications that were given to the client for different purposes like

    Furosemide, Clarithromycin, Losartan, and others.

    Overall, the nurse thought t all of the interventions made by all health care providers were

    effective after the prescription to continue his medications. The nurse was able to implement necessaryinterventions like deep breathing exercise, coughing exercise as well as diet management for the client.
