NURSING 482 Pathophysiology ATI Med-Surg Remediation 2021  c. Expected Actions/Outcomes i. Heart Failure and Pulmonary Edema: Assessing for Digoxin Toxicity (Active Learning Template – Medication, RM AMS RN 10.0 Chp 32) 1. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is unable to pump effectively, resulting in inadequate cardiac output, myocardial hypertrophy, and pulmonary/systemic congestion. The heart is unable to maintain adequate circulation to meet tissue needs. ii. Hematologic Diagnostic Procedures: Efficacy of Warfarin Therapy (Active Learning Template – Medication, RM AMS RN 10.0 Chp 39) 1. Hematologic assessment and diagnostic procedures evaluate blood function by testing indicators such as erythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs), platelets, and coagulation times. By testing the blood, diagnosis of a disease and efficacy of treatment can be determined. d. Medication Administration i. Angina and Myocardial infarction: Teaching About Sublingual Nitroglycerin (Active Learning Template – Medication, RM AMS RN 10.0 Chp 31) 1. The continuum from angina to myocardial infarction (MI) is acute coronary syndrome. Symptoms of acute coronary syndrome are due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Angina pectoris is a warning sign of an impending acute MI. ii. Endocrine Disorders: Interaction with Levothyroxine (Active Learning Template – Medication, RM Pharm RN 7.0 Chp 40) 1. The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones, which act on specific receptor sites. Hormones target receptor sites to regulate response to stress, growth, metabolism, and homeostasis. An endocrine disorder usually involves the oversecretion or undersecretion of hormones, or an altered response by the target area or receptor. iii. Cancer Treatment Options: Teaching About Epoetin Alfa (Active Learning Template – Medication, RM AMS RN 10.0 Chp 91) 1. Cancer treatment is based on the cell of origin of the cancer. When metastasis occurs, treatment is still based on the primary tumor origin even though the malignancy is located elsewhere in the body. Many cancers are curable when diagnosed early. iv. Safe Medication Administration and Error Reduction: Intramuscular Injection (Active Learning Template – Nursing Skill, RM Pharm RN 7.0 Chp 2) 1. The providers who may legally write prescriptions in the United States include physicians, advanced practice nurses, dentists, and physician assistants. These providers are responsible for obtaining clients’ medical history, performing a physical examination, diagnosing, prescribing medications, monitoring response to therapy, and modifying prescriptions as necessary. e.
