Mr EE, aged 44, has been admitted to A&E experiencing what he thought to be a myocardial infarction. He has no history of heart disease. An ECG shows no abnormalities and all other tests point to Mr EE suffering a panic attack. The duty psychiatrist is called and Mr EE says that he feels worthless and does not want to live. He is quite aggressive. He also says that he struggles to sleep. Depression and panic disorder are diagnosed. The suggestion is to prescribe diazepam 5mg tds to reduce anxiety and risperidone 2mg bd to reduce aggression. Comment on the current treatment plan and make suggestions if appropriate.

Choose all the statements that are correct. When the heart beats, first the right side of the heart contracts, and then the left side of the heart contracts. That is one heartbeat. The sympathetic nervous system speeds up the heart rate and the parasympathetic system slows down heart rate. M Bradycardia is when the heart beats faster than normal. The SA node is the pacemaker of the heart. Coronary arteries deliver blood to the muscle of the heart. A heart attack is a myocardial infarction. The ECG (EKG) has a QRS wave that represents ventricular depolarization (the message to tell the ventricle to contract. The heart needs nerve stimulation in order to contract.

Define Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in your own words. Name three risk factors for CVD. Do you have any of these risk factors? If so, what lifestyle changes can make to improve your heart health? How can physical activity improve heart health?

You are working in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. It is your patient, Dave’s, first day of rehab. Dave had a heart attack 45 days ago. He is 40 years old and feels comfortable and confident enough to walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. Upon talking with Dave, you learn that he regularly exercised up until his heart attack. He completed resistance training 3 days/week at his local gym and would play tennis with friends several days each week. He can walk comfortably without an assistive device on flat surfaces at his own speed. You need to determine Dave’s VO2 in order to create a correct exercise prescription. Would you test this person, yes or no? If yes, please indicate what protocol you would choose and whether or not the test would be maximal or submaximal? Please include your rationale.

Molly Carpenter, a 44-year-old female client,is admitted with an embolic stroke, and the cardiologist ordered a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE).

The vital signs include T, 98°F; BP, 140/90 mmHg; HR, 110 beats/minute; RR, 28 breaths/minute. The cardiologist talked with the client, stating that the test needs to be done to clearly find out if there are any blood clots in the heart that could travel and cause a future stroke. The client recognizes the test is needed but stated she is freaked out by the thought of a tube being shoved down her throat. The LPN/LVN needs to provide nursing interventions to reduce Molly’s anxiety so she can learn more about the TEE and comfort measures that will…
