Question
Chapter 53, Problem 1CTPQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The significant assessments of the nurse before giving calcium supplemental therapy to a cardiac patient.
Concept introduction:
Calcium salts are widely used for providing treatment for patients (osteomalacia, tetany, renal insufficiency, and muscle cramp) whose dietary measures are insufficient. High calcium is needed for women and growing children. An unusual heartbeat is referred to as cardiac dysrhythmia: the rhythm of the heartbeat may be uneven (in its pacing) or low or high heart rate. This is due to the contraction of heart upper chambers.
