Dysrhythmia

A 78-year old woman is admitted to a Medical unit directly from her physician’s office for evaluation and management of congestive heart failure. She has a history of systemic hypertension.

The initial assessment completed by the RN of the assigned patient reveals a pulse rate that is rapid and very irregular. The patient is restless, her skin is pale and cool, she states she is dizzy when she stands up and she is slightly short of breath and anxious. Her BP is 106/88. Her ECG monitor pattern shows uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with a heart rate ranging from 150 -170 beats/min. Her respirations are 20/min and her O2 saturation is 90%.

  1. Given the findings, what should be the first action of      the practical nurse?
  2. What additional data would the practical nurse collect?
  3. Discuss the potential complications of cardioversion  and patient preparation for an elective cardioversion. Because the length      of time the patient has been in atrial fibrillation is unknown, what      adverse reaction may occur?

Later that evening the patient calls the nurse because she feels “like something terrible is going to happen.” She reports chest pain, has increased shortness of breath, and has coughed up blood-tinged sputum.

  1. Based on these symptoms, what might you suspect is      happening?
  2. What is the first thing the practical nurse should do      and what further information would you expect to be collected?

The Background and Significance of the CNIO

Healthcare is a field that is constantly changing, facing new challenges, and overcoming problems with patient care; which is why technology is becoming one of the most important aspects of healthcare. Nurses are at the forefront of patient care as they spend the most time with the patient, chart, and care for patients over a twelve-hour period. The CNIO, short for the Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, is a role that was introduced to healthcare facilities directly to overlook the electronic medical record, and to better optimize its use and functionality (McCleerey, 2019). The role was meant to solely manage healthcare providers use of the EMR, but new research is showing the need for a paradigm shift from the CNIO’s focus on its own EMR, to working with developers and vendors to create better programs and change weak links in the current EMR. (McCleerey, 2019).

How the CNIO Relates to Healthcare Informatics

The Chief Nursing Informatics Officer directly relates to healthcare as the forefront of health care is based off the development of new technology (McCleerey, 2019). Documentation, research, education, and evidence-based practice have all shifted to using software, computers and cloud data storage. The CNIO overlooks the technology adopted by facilities to better optimize patient care and time management in healthcare and will soon move on to helping developers create better software that focuses on patient care rather than time optimization (McCleerey, 2019). Because CNIO’s directly overlook hospital technology, they have a strong relationship with today’s healthcare system.

The Opportunities and Challenges CNIO’s Face

CNIO’s, just like other nursing specialists, face many opportunities and challenges, but CNIO’s have a rapidly evolving job description, allowing for a variety of rewards and problems to come up. CNIO’s can change nursing for the better by implement systems that give patients better and safer care. The challenges that CNIO’s face directly relate to the new role that the must adopt: relaying information to developers and working with vendors to change and create better software and technology (McCleerey, 2019). Both the opportunities and challenges allow for a rewarding and exciting career as a nurse.

The Benefits of the Electronic Health Record on Quality and Safety in Patient Care

The EHR help health care providers access patient’s medical history: which is an important aspect of treatment. From the EHR alone, nurses and doctors can see allergies, past procedures, scans and x-rays, and other important patient history and problems. By accessing this, providers can help to make the best decisions using evidence-based practice to give the highest quality care to patients (Sewell, 2019).

Pathophysiology of Diabetes Mellitus

Respond on two different days who selected different factors than you, in one or more of the following ways:

Share insights on how the factor you selected impacts the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.

Offer alternative diagnoses and prescription of treatment options for diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.

Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.

Main post

Diabetes affects millions of Americans and the cost of diabetes is a constant healthcare stressor as Insulin costs continue to rise. Diabetes mellitus is separated into three classes; Type 1, the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to meet the body’s demand and Type 2, where the body’s cells do not respond to the insulin production and can be managed with lifestyle modifications, and gestational diabetes. Diabetes insipidus is not as common as diabetes mellitus but can have a severe effect on the human body due to the fluid imbalance that is created. It is important for the practitioner to understand the pathophysiologies and the roles behavior and ethnicity play in the diagnosis and treatment.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes Mellitus

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease that results from beta-cell destruction in pancreatic islets. Beta-cell death via virus directed or physiological mechanisms induces the release of antigens and initiation of immune responses against other beta-cells (Saberzadeh-Ardestani et al., 2018). Type 2 diabetes also has beta-cell destruction more but, more variable different degrees of beta-cell failure relative to varying degrees of insulin resistance. Kumar et al. (2018) acknowledge that insulin resistance impairs the ability of muscle cells to take up and store glucose and triglycerides, which results in high levels of glucose and triglycerides circulating in the blood. Type 2 diabetes can be managed with diet and exercise; like these, both can improve insulin resistance and delay the long-term complications associated with diabetes mellitus.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes Insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is separated into four classifications; central, nephrogenic, dipsogenic, and gestational. The results are that the body excretes an abundance of urine, causing the patient to have an unquenchable thirst. Kalra et al. (2016) describe central diabetes insipidus due to impaired secretion of arginine vasopressin could result from traumatic brain injury, surgery, or tumors whereas nephrogenic diabetes insipidus due to failure of the kidney to respond to arginine vasopressin is usually inherited.

Differences and Similarities of Hormonal Regulation

Despite sharing a name, the differences between diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are great, from the pathophysiology to the treatment. Similarities between diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus due to hormonal changes lie within the symptoms that the patient is experiencing. Diabetes mellitus involves blood sugar levels and insulin resistance; diabetes insipidus, it isn’t blood sugar that is the problem, but blood water levels. The similarities of these diseases lie within the signs and symptoms that the patients may be present. Diabetes insipidus, excessive fatigue occurs because of an overall lack of hydration or an electrolyte imbalance. For diabetes mellitus, excessive fatigue generally occurs because blood sugar levels are too low or too high. Excessive thirst occurs in diabetes insipidus because the body senses a lack of Vasopressin, and so it demands more fluids because it thinks it needs them. For diabetes mellitus, excessive thirst occurs because of excessive glucose levels that need to be expelled from the body.

Ethnicity and Behavior’s Impact

Research by Saberzadeh-Ardestani et al. (2018) shows environmental factors include reduction in gut microbiota, obesity, early introduction to fruit or cow milk during childhood, gluten, toxins, lack of vitamins, and viruses play a role in the development of diabetes mellitus type 1; while previously most prevalent in Europeans, it is becoming more common in other ethnic groups. Diet and exercise can help delay diabetes mellitus type 2 from other disease processes related to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes insipidus is common when a traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs, wearing seatbelts when driving and helmets when participating in cycling or sporting events can decrease the opportunity for diabetes insipidus to occur.

Conclusion

It is important for a practitioner to distinguish between the multiple types of diabetes that patients may present with, although signs and symptoms may be similar, the diagnosis and treatments are completely different. Patient education for each disease is also important because diabetes mellitus type 1 cannot be managed with diet and exercise alone. Diabetes insipidus can occur, but the underlying cause must be singled out to classify and treat. Central diabetes insipidus may require long term treatment depending on the extent of trauma, whereas gestational diabetes insipidus is usually a short term treatment, but the treatments remain the same.
