Diseases Process
Instructed patient on how the severe and persistent pain caused by osteoarthritis may be treated with prescription painkillers. Corticosteriod medications can be injected into a painful joint to relieve discomfort, but this procedure carries the risk of damaging the joint cartilage if performed too frequently.
Instructed patient on how resting often, sleeping on a firm mattress, staying warm and applying heat to the affected joint can help ease symptoms. Adequate nutrition, including vitamin supplements is often advised.
Instructed patient about how a stroke can result from the damage that ongoing high blood pressure causes in the body vessels. If the affected vessel stops supplying blood to the brain, as a result a stroke occurs.
Instructed patient on how sometimes blood flows with enough force to weaken a vessel wall. If the vessel is small or damaged, the wall can break. When this happens blood leaks into nearby tissue and kills cells. Other cells may die because blood cannot reach them.
Instructed patient that if the infection persists and spreads it can progress to an acute or chronic disease.
Instructed patient about infections are commonly produced by bacterias or viruses. Once diagnosed most infections can be treated with antibiotics.
