1) Identify three positions of the patient to obtain a BP.
2) What problems can result from high blood pressure Or (HYPERTENSION)?
3) What problems can result from low blood pressure OR (HYPOTENSION)?
4) What IS the effect of exercise on BP? How does the body benefit from this change in BP during exercise?
5) How would the BP of an anxious patient visiting a doctor be different than if the patient is calm?
6) In atherosclerosis, plaque builds up inside the arteries. How would this affect BP? Is this an example of hypertension or hypotension?

- SUBJECTIVE: Jim is a 55-year-old male who presents to the Urgent Care Clinic after an episode of intense chest pain, tingling and numbness that radiates down his left arm that occurred while driving his daughter to a school concert. The pain was relieved by placing a nitroglycerin tablet under his tongue. Because of concerns from both his daughter and wife, he is here today for a follow-up. OBJECTIVE: BP is 145/90, respirations 20, pulse is regular. Temperature normal. His chest X-ray reveals a pacemaker on the left, cardiomegaly and increased markings of congestive heart failure. The EKG reveals normal rate and rhythm. ASSESSMENT: 1. Angina pectoris 2. Cardiomegaly 3. Possible CHF 4.

His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is 15.Paramedics administer oxygen at a flow rate of 15 litres/minute via Non-Rebreather Mask and apply a cervical collar and a backboard to immobilise his neck and spine. They also place a 16-gauge Peripheral Intravenous Canula (PIVC) in his left forearm and begin an infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution.When Matt is brought into Emergency Department (ED), he can speak clearly and provide an account of the accident.Identify the nursing assessments with rationales that should be provided in the first hour upon receiving Matt from the paramedicsarrow_forward
