HEART FAILURE
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of the ventricle that reduces its ability to fill with or eject blood. It impacts over 5 million Americans with high costs of care. The key aspects are reduced cardiac output, ejection fraction, preload and afterload. Compensatory mechanisms initially help but eventually fail, leading to fluid overload and decompensation. Diagnosis involves history, exam, echocardiogram and blood tests. Treatment depends on symptoms and stages from risk factor modification to drug therapy and devices.
Cardiac Emergencies
This document provides an overview of cardiac emergencies for nurses. It begins with definitions of medical and cardiovascular emergencies. It then covers assessment of the cardiovascular system, ECG interpretation, common rhythm disturbances like tachycardias and bradycardias, and treatment protocols for cardiac arrest, chest pain, acute coronary syndrome, and other conditions. Nursing interventions are described for monitoring, medication administration, and supporting patients experiencing cardiovascular emergencies.

Musculoskeletal system
The document provides guidance on assessing a patient's musculoskeletal system and rheumatological symptoms. It describes:
1. Questions to ask about joint pain, stiffness, swelling, deformities, and ability to perform activities.
2. How to perform a focused physical exam using a modified GALS (gait, arms, legs, spine) method to quickly check mobility.
3. Details on examining individual joints like the back, shoulders, hands, hips, and feet to identify areas of pain or reduced movement that could indicate arthritis.
The assessment aims to identify key symptoms, affected joints, onset and progression of issues in order to formulate potential diagnoses.

Iron deficiency anemia
This document discusses iron deficiency anemia, including its morphological classification, red blood cell indices, causes, pathogenesis, physical findings, and management. It notes that iron deficiency anemia results in microcytic hypochromic anemia with a low MCV and MCHC. The progression involves depletion of iron stores, decreased ferritin and iron, and increased TIBC, eventually resulting in microcytic hypochromic anemia seen on peripheral smear. Common physical findings include angular stomatitis, glossitis, koilonychia, and atrophic gastritis. Treatment involves iron supplementation orally or intravenously, with blood transfusion for severe anemia.
