Nursing Diagnosis and Intervention for Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias)

Nursing Diagnosis and Intervention for Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias)
Heart Rhythm Disorders or Arrhythmia is a common complication in myocardial infarction. Arrhythmias or dysrhythmias are changes in the frequency and heart rhythm caused by abnormal electrolyte conduction or automatic (Doenges, 1999). Arrhythmias arising from electrophysiological changes in the cells of the myocardium. These electrophysiological changes manifest as changes in the form of an action potential is a graph recording the electrical activity of cells (Price, 1994). Heart rhythm disorder is not confined to the irregularity of the heart rate but also including rate and conduction disturbances (Hanafi, 1996)

Etiology of cardiac arrhythmias in the outline can be caused by:
  • Inflammation of the heart, such as rheumatic fever, myocardial inflammation (myocarditis due to infection).
  • Disorders of coronary circulation (coronary atherosclerosis or coronary artery spasm), such as myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction.
  • Because the drug (intoxication), among others by digitalis, quinidine and anti-arrhythmia drugs other.
  • Electrolyte balance disorders (hyperkalemia, hypokalemia).
  • Disorders of the autonomic nervous system settings that affect the work and heart rhythm.
  • Ganggguan psychoneurotic and central nervous.
  • Metabolic disorders (acidosis, alkalosis).
  • Endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism).
  • Heart rhythm disorders due to cardiomyopathy or heart tumor.
  • Heart rhythm disorders due to degeneration (fibrosis of the conduction system of the heart).
Clinical Manifestations
  • Change in BP (hypertension or hypotension); The pulse may be irregular; pulse deficit; irregular heart rhythm sound, extra sound, pulse decreased; pale skin, cyanosis, sweating; edema; Urine output decreases as weight decreases cardiac output.
  • Syncope, dizziness, throbbing, headache, disorientation, confusion, lethargy, change in pupil.
  • Mild to severe chest pain, may be lost or not with antianginal drugs, anxiety.
  • Shortness of breath, cough, change of speed / depth of respiration; additional breath sounds (krekels, crackles, wheezing) may exist indicate respiratory complications such as left heart failure (pulmonary edema) or pulmonary tromboembolitik phenomena; hemoptysis.
  • Fever; redness of the skin (adverse drug reactions); inflammation, erythema, edema (thrombosis siperfisial); loss of muscle tone / strength.

Nursing Diagnosis and Intervention for Abnormal Heart Rhythms (Arrhythmias)

Risk for decreased cardiac output related to electrical conduction disturbances, decreased myocardial contractility.

Expected outcomes:
  • Maintain / increase cardiac output adequate as evidenced by blood pressure / pulse in the normal range, adequate urine output, palpable pulse same, usual mental status.
  • Showed a decrease in the frequency / absence of dysrhythmias.
  • Participate in activities that decrease myocardial work.
Intervention:
  • Raba pulse (radial, femoral, dorsalis pedis) record the frequency, regularity, amplitude and symmetrical.
  • Auscultation of heart sounds, note the frequency, rhythm. Note the extra heart rate, decreased pulse.
  • Monitor vital signs and examine the adequacy of cardiac output / tissue perfusion.
  • Determine the type of dysrhythmias and note the rhythm: tachycardia; bradycardia; atrial dysrhythmias; ventricular dysrhythmias; heart block.
  • Provide quiet environment. Assess the reason for limiting the activity during the acute phase.
  • Demonstrate / encourage use of behavioral stress management ie deep breathing relaxation, guided imagery.
  • Investigate reports of pain, note the location, duration, intensity and relieving factors / ballast.
  • Note the non-verbal instructions pain, for example; facial frown, cry, change in BP
  • Prepare / do cardiopulmonary resuscitation as indicated.
Collaboration:
  • Monitor laboratory tests, for example; electrolyte.
  • Give supplemental oxygen as indicated.
  • Give the drug as indicated: potassium, anti-dysrhythmia.
  • Prepare for elective cardioversion aids.
  • Help installation / maintain pacemaker function.
  • Enter / maintain input IV.
  • Prepare for invasive diagnostic procedures.
  • Prepare for the installation of automatic cardioverter or defibrillator.

Scoliosis - 5 Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions

Scoliosis is a curvature, or lateral curvature of the spine due to the rotation and vertebral deformity.

Three forms of structural scoliosis are:
  1. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form and classified into 3 groups: infantile, which arise from birth to age 3 years; children, who emerged from the age of 3 years to 10 years; and adolescents, which appears after the age of 10 years (the age of the most common).
  2. Congenital scoliosis is scoliosis that causes malformation of one or more vertebral bodies.
  3. Neuromuscular scoliosis, children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases (such as brain paralysis, spina bifida, or muscular dystrophy) which directly causes the deformity.
(Nettina, Sandra M.)

Clinical Symptoms
  1. Spine curves abnormally to the side.
  2. Shoulder or hip and the left and right are not the same height.
  3. Back pain.
  4. Fatigue in the spine after sitting or standing for long.
  5. Severe scoliosis (curvature greater than 60) can cause respiratory problems.

Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions for Scoliosis

Activity Intolerance - Nursing Diagnosis Interventions for Anemia

Nursing Care Plan for Anemia

Anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the red blood cells are below normal. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen in the role of the lungs and deliver it to all parts of the body.

A common cause of anemia among others; iron deficiency, intestinal bleeding, bleeding, genetically, deficiency of vitamin B12, folic acid drawback, bone marrow disorders.

Causes and Risk Factors

Blood is composed of plasma and cells. There are three types of blood cells:
  • White blood cells (leukocytes). These blood cells are useful to fight infection.
  • Platelets. These blood cells help the blood clot when injured.
  • White blood cells (erythrocytes). The red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs through the bloodstream to the brain and other organs and tissues.
The body requires a supply of oxygen to function. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which is a protein that is like the iron that give red color.

Many blood cells are produced by bone marrow. To be able to produce red blood cells and hemoglobin, your body needs iron, minerals, protein and other vitamins from the foods you eat.


Nursing Diagnosis for Anemia : Activity Intolerance related to imbalance between oxygen demand and supply


Goal : to maintain / improve ambulation / activity .

Outcomes:
  • Reported an increase in exercise tolerance ( including activities of daily living )
  • Showed decreased signs of physiological intolerance , for example pulse , respiration , and blood pressure was within the normal range .

Intervention

1 . Assess the patient's ADL ability .
Rationale : influence the choice of intervention / assistance .

2 . Assess loss or impaired balance , gait and muscle weakness .
Rationale : show changes due to vitamin B12 deficiency neurological affects patient safety / risk of injury .

3 . Observation of vital signs before and after the activity .
Rationale : cardiopulmonary manifestations of heart and lung efforts to bring an adequate amount of oxygen to the tissues .

4 . Provide quiet environment , limit visitors , and reduce noise , keep bed rest when indicated .
Rationale : improving breaks to lower the body's need for oxygen and lowering strain the heart and lungs .

5 . Use energy -saving techniques , instruct the patient to rest, if there is fatigue and weakness , instruct the patient to perform activities of his best . ( without imposing themselves ) .
Rationale : increase activity gradually to normal and improve muscle tone / stamina without drawbacks . Boost the self-esteem and sense of control .
