Diseases Process
Instructed patient on how when blood presses against a vessel wall with too much force, muscles in the wall lose their stretch. This causes the wall to thicken, which narrows the vessel passage and reduces blood flow.
Instructed patient about infection, which is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues.
Instructed patient on possible adverse reactions to oral diabetic agents, which include: nausea, vomiting, epigastric fullness, heartburn, hypoglycemia, rash, itching and facial flushing.
Instructed patient on possible adverse reactions to insulin, which include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and skin rash and local reaction at injection site.
Instructed patient on Diabetes diagnosis, which occurs when the pancreas has partial or total lack of insulin production.
Instructed patient about the diagnosis of Angina, which is a temporary lack of oxygenated blood supply to a portion of the heart, causing pain.
Instructed patient on diagnosis of ASHD/CAD, which occurs when there is a narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle, restricting blood flow.
Instructed patient on diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), which occurs when the heart is unable to expel the blood from the ventricle, causing congestion.
Instructed patient on diagnosis of Pulmonary Edema, which is very likely to occur when there is an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, causing difficulty breathing. Contact your primary care physician if the condition worsens, or if you exhibit other symptoms.
Patient instructed that Anemia is a condition characterized by an inadequate amount of red blood cells, which are produced in your bone marrow. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a substance that picks up oxygen from your lungs, carries it throughout your body, and gives it to your cells. Your cells need oxygen to perform the basic functions that generate energy and keep you alive. In addition, hemoglobin picks up some of the carbon dioxide given off by your cells and returns it to the lungs, where it is exhaled when you breathe out. Without enough red blood cells to transport oxygen to your cells and carbon dioxide away from your cells, your body functions at a less than optimal level.
