1-DEFINITION OF TERMS:
1. ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Ulcerative colitis can be draining and can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications.
While it has no known cure, there are several new treatments that can greatly reduce signs and
symptoms of the disease and bring about long-term remission.
2. HYPERTENSION
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is blood pressure that is higher than normal.
Your blood pressure changes throughout the day based on your activities. Having blood pressure
measures consistently above normal may result in a diagnosis of high blood pressure (or
hypertension).
The higher your blood pressure levels, the more risk you have for other health problems, such
as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
3. DIABETES MELLITUS
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease of inadequate control of blood levels of glucose. It has many
subclassifications, including type 1, type 2, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY),
gestational diabetes, neonatal diabetes, and steroid-induced diabetes. Type 1 and 2 DM are the
main subtypes, each with different pathophysiology, presentation, and management, but both
have a potential for hyperglycemia. This activity outlines the pathophysiology, evaluation, and
management of DM and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients
with this condition.
4. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
Congestive heart failure is a long-term condition that happens when your heart can’t pump
blood well enough to give your body a normal supply. Blood and fluids collect in your lungs and
legs over time. Medications and other treatments help manage symptoms like swelling.
Congestive heart failure is life-limiting for many.
5.DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is loose, watery stools (bowel movements). You have diarrhea if you have loose stools
three or more times in one day. Acute diarrhea is diarrhea that lasts a short time. It is a common
problem. It usually lasts about one or two days, but it may last longer. Then it goes away on its
own.
