Closure: Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation may develop cyanosis and dyspnea because of the direction of tricuspid regurgitation across the pfo. Device closure may be clinically beneficial.

Question 2

can anyone give me a nursing care plan for dysthymia?

Accepted Answer

Psychotherapy: Treatment for dysthymia is similar to treatment for depression.  It should include psychotherapy and may also be appropriate to treat with antidepressants.  Start with your primary care physician and a good therapist. Cognitive behavioral therapies and interpersonal therapies can be effective.  Exercise, good sleep, good nutrition, and overall self-care help improve mood naturally as well.

Question 3

developing hypertension. numbers are borderline. 140/90 or so.to lose weight, plan on starting a walking routine. is it ok to do so with such numbers?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The numbers by themselves are not that worrisome. Whether or not you are healthy enough to do any sort of workout routine of any intensity is not something easily determined by your statement. Have you seen your doc within a year &amp; been cleared for such activity ? Are you already very active &amp; just adding this to your routine ?

Question 6

This site is MedCare: this site is about medical question and answers about medical problems and not nursing care.The only nurses who come in contacts with patients with tonsilopharyngitis,are either Dictors office nurse or in ER.It involved taking vital signs like temp and pulse and history of any allergies. And at the direction of the doctor to do throat swab for quick strep test or culture&amp; give Tylenol (acetaminophen) for fever

Question 7

what blood tests do i need to do as a triathlete,with a rigorous training plan. i have controlled hypertension, and looking for a competitive edge ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly None: It could be argued that a healthy 34 year old athlete does not really need any routine blood work.  Standard tests include a cbc which will check your hemeglobin and white count; and what is known as a “comprehensive panel” that shows electrolytes, kidney function, and albumin.  Fairly unlikely results will change management or give you any competitive edge; but would serve to screen for issues.

Question 8

good day. what chronic medication is covered under my plan for hypertension?
i am on the coastal saver plan

Accepted Answer

: I have no idea about your plan in ZA. Everyone with HBP should be give a 2 week trial of the DASH diet before starting meds and my hunch is this was not recommended or has been tried. Discuss with your local Drs.

Question 9

i plan on nursing my baby when she is born, however i am still nursing my first baby.  should i not let my 1st nurse while the colustrum is present?

Accepted Answer

Ok: There is no reason that I am aware of that colostrum is better than breast milk to a new born or vice versa.In fact if you are continuing to nurse your 1st, I am not sure there will be colostrum.

Question 10

how should i start my nursing care plan for measles on a recovering pediatric patient?

Accepted Answer

Consult your texts: This site is not a substitute for doing your own homework. Your nursing instructors expect your work to be done in the jargon of the teaching references they provide you for study. As you enter the profession you will be better prepared and more respected if you avoid shortcuts to complete your assignments.
