and Peripheral Vascular System Papers

NURS-6512 Week 7: Assessment of the Heart, Lungs, and Peripheral Vascular System Papers NURS-6512 Week 7: Assessment of the Heart, Lungs, and Peripheral Vascular System Papers Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the largest cause of death worldwide. Accounting for 610,000 deaths annually (CDC, 2017), CVD frequently goes unnoticed until it is too late. Early detection and prevention measures can save the lives of many patients who have CVD. Conducting an assessment of the heart, lungs, and peripheral vascular system is one of the first steps that can be taken to detect CVD and many more conditions that may occur in the thorax or chest area.

Required Media (click to expand/reduce) Assignment 1: Digital Clinical Experience: Assessing the Heart, Lungs, and Peripheral Vascular System Photo Credit: Getty Images Take a moment to observe your breathing. Notice the sensation of your chest expanding as air flows into your lungs. Feel your chest contract as you exhale. How might this experience be different for someone with chronic lung disease or someone experiencing an asthma attack? In order to adequately assess the chest region of a patient, nurses need to be aware of a patient’s history, potential abnormal findings, and what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted to determine the causes and severity of abnormalities. In this DCE Assignment, you will conduct a focused exam related to chest pain using the simulation too, Shadow Health. Consider how a patient’s initial symptoms can result in very different diagnoses when further assessment is conducted.

Before a condition can be diagnosed, an examination must be conducted. Properly conducting a cardiac and respiratory examination requires detailed knowledge of the examination procedure and experience in performing this assessment. In preparation for the Comprehensive (Head-to-Toe) Physical Assessment due in Week 9, it is recommended that you practice performing a cardiac and respiratory examination this week. Note: This is an optional practice physical assessment. To Prepare Arrange an appropriate time and setting with your volunteer “patient” to perform a cardiac and respiratory examination. Download and review the Cardiac and Respiratory Checklists provided in this week’s Learning Resources as well as review the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination online media. Ensure that you have a stethoscope to perform the examination. Optional Lab Assignment Perform the cardiac and respiratory examination. Be sure to cover all of the areas listed in the checklist and to use the equipment appropriately. NURS-6512 Week 7: Assessment of the Heart, Lungs, and Peripheral Vascular System Papers.
