TASK 1. MY PLAN FOR YOU!

Instructions: Craft at least two Nursing Care Plan based on the Nursing Diagnoses
listed below. Follow the standard format set by the College. (see rubrics for
scoring)

 Activity Intolerance related to Insufficient Oxygen for Activities of Daily Living

 Anxiety related to Breathlessness
 Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements related to Nausea; Anorexia
Secondary to Venous Congestion
 Impaired Peripheral Tissue Perfusion related to Venous Congestion
 Disturbed Sleep Pattern related to Nocturnal Dyspnea
 Powerlessness related to Progressive Nature of Condition

TASK 2. CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES

Instructions: Instructions: Briefly answer the questions. At a minimum, you must
cite the journal, textbook, article, and other reading materials. Make sure to cite
any references you use. Use APA style (7th edition) for proper citation format for
your references. (see rubrics for scoring).

1. Discuss the following complementary and alternative medicines for

pharmacologic management for altered tissue perfusion?
a. Fish Oil/Omega 3 Fatty Acids b. Hawthorn c. Gingko Biloba d. Ginseng e. Garlic

2. Explain how the ejection factor, as a test to determine the type of heart failure
present, is
calculated.

3. Explain how cigarette smoking contributes to the development of coronary

artery disease.

4. CLINICAL SITUATIONS
Graph Analysis
Instruction: Analyze the following ECG graphs and answer the questions.

ECG graph and commonly measured complex components. Each small box
represents 0.04
seconds on the horizontal axis and 1 mm or 0.1 mV on the vertical axis. The PR
interval is
measured from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex;
the QRS
complex is measured from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the S wave;
the QT
interval is measured from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the T wave.
1. Look at the above graphic recording of cardiac electrical activity. For each action
below,
choose a wave deflection that corresponds to it, and write the appropriate letter or
letters on
the line provided.
a. ____ ventricular muscle repolarization
b. ____ time required for an impulse to travel through the atria and the conduction
system to
the Purkinje fibers
c. ____ atrial muscle depolarization
d. ____ ventricular muscle depolarization
e. ____ early ventricular repolarization of the ventricles
