Case Study Dysthymia Interpretation And Management

      Case Study Dysrhythmia Interpretation and management Name Institution Date   1] You are working in the step down/ telemetry unit of your hospital and your patient’s heart rate decreased from 88 to50 beats per minute. List some of the possible reasons for the decreased heart rate. What assessments will you make? If the patient wasn’t tolerating the lower heart rate-describe what symptoms the patient may experience and what you might find with your assessment.             There is likely to be increased vagal stimulation, hypoxia, and increased intracranial pressure and SA/AV node ischemia. Typically, when the patient is moved from the intensive unit to the telemetry unit the physical activities are gradually increased, but they may not necessarily tolerate the exercises (Sole, Klein & Moseley, 2013). There could also be drug effects that affect the heart rate.  If the patient was initially an active athlete, this is considered as the patient history it is also considered in dysrhythmia interpretation.  The patient is amore likely to feel tired or dizzy when there is decreased heart rate and low blood pressure, which affects cardiac output 2] A 65-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes presents to the emergency department; she is short of breath and complaining of neck and shoulder pain. Her blood pressure is 88/55 mm Hg, and the cardiac monitor shows the following rhythm strip.           a) What is your interpretation of the rhythm? You don’t need to “name” but how would you describe it to an MD over the phone?             There are regular then irregular heartbeats and the p wave indicates that there is low blood pressure this likely means that the pulse rate is also low and affects the ability of the heart to pump blood. The irregular rhythms indicates there is dysrhythmia b) <...
