Understanding the Chronic Illnesses Affecting Senior Living Residents
The well-being of your residents is the top priority of your team members. Using information from the Center for Disease Control on the most common chronic conditions affecting residential care residents, we've created this resource to help your staff understand what's happening in a resident's body when he or she suffers from these diseases. We've also outlined the warning signs to help them recognize changes in a resident who may be developing a chronic condition.
Heart murmurs: what you need to know
There are two main types of heart murmurs: innocent murmurs and abnormal murmurs. Innocent murmurs are common in children and caused by rapid heart development, exercise, or pregnancy. They often disappear over time. Abnormal murmurs can be congenital or develop later in life due to conditions like heart valve abnormalities, septal defects, rheumatic fever, or infections. Symptoms of abnormal murmurs may include shortness of breath, swelling, or fainting. If you think you have a murmur, see a doctor who can listen to your heart sounds and determine the type and severity using specialized diagnostic software.
Ischemic heart disease (CAD).ppt
Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries due to plaque buildup. It is a common cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The risk of IHD increases with age and is higher in men, though the gender gap decreases at older ages. Major risk factors include high cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Angina is a common symptom of IHD and presents as chest pain or pressure that is triggered by exertion and relieved by rest. A myocardial infarction occurs when a plaque ruptures, causing a clot that blocks blood flow and leads to heart muscle cell death. Diagnosis of MI involves characteristic symptoms, ECG changes, and elevated
Cva (cerebro vascular accident)
CVA (cerebrovascular accident), also known as stroke, and TIA (transient ischemic attack) are disruptions in blood flow to the brain. A CVA is caused by ischemia or hemorrhage in the brain and results in cell death, while a TIA's disruption is temporary without cell death. Risk factors include atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiac issues, and diabetes. Symptoms depend on the location and size of the affected area but may include paralysis, impaired speech/vision, and sensory changes. Treatment focuses on prevention by controlling risk factors and potentially using blood thinners. Nursing care revolves around monitoring for complications and maximizing recovery of functions.
Neurological Causes of Frequent Falling
Falling has many causes and nervous system disorders can present at first by falling. Falling can be serious in old age patients.
Cardiovascular disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for over 7 million deaths per year. The top three risk factors are smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Atherosclerosis occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries, restricting blood flow and potentially leading to heart attack or stroke. Inflammation in the artery walls plays a key role in plaque formation. Diet and lifestyle factors like a plant-based diet, exercise, weight control, and stress management can help prevent and manage heart disease.

2021 A Storm is Coming.pptx
This document discusses thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition caused by excess thyroid hormone levels. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding the pathophysiology of hyperthyroidism, recognizing clinical presentations of thyroid storm, and providing optimal treatment guidelines. Key points include distinguishing primary from secondary hyperthyroidism, identifying potential triggers of thyroid storm like infection or trauma, and describing the classic presentation of fever, tachycardia, and altered mental status. Treatment involves supportive care as well as inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis with drugs, blocking hormone release with iodine, treating symptoms like tachycardia, and using steroids or plasmapheresis in refractory cases. The goal is to reduce circulating thyroid hormone levels and control
Brian stoke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and causing them to die. The effects of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is injured. Strokes can cause temporary or permanent disabilities. There are two main types of stroke - ischemic, caused by a clot blocking an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a burst blood vessel. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and older age. Prevention efforts focus on controlling risk factors through a healthy lifestyle and medications.
Cva slides
This document provides information on cerebrovascular accidents (strokes). It defines a stroke as occurring when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, usually due to a blood clot or burst blood vessel. Strokes can be ischemic, caused by a clot cutting off blood flow, or hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. Warning signs include sudden weakness, numbness, trouble speaking, and loss of vision. Acting FAST (Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, Time to call for help) can help identify a stroke and get immediate medical attention, as rapid treatment improves outcomes. Risk factors include age, race, family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and more.
4 n transmissible diseases and non transmissible diseases
The document discusses transmissible and non-transmissible diseases. It defines transmissible diseases as those spread between people via pathogens, and lists influenza, SARS, and dengue fever as examples. Non-transmissible diseases are not infectious or spread between people, and examples given are colon cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. The document also discusses disease prevention measures like hygiene, lifestyle, and checkups. Hereditary diseases are described as passed down through genes from parents, with sickle cell anemia and thalassemia provided as examples.
Lymes Disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged or deer ticks. In the early stages, it may cause a characteristic bullseye rash and flu-like symptoms. Later symptoms can include joint and muscle pain, heart palpitations, facial paralysis, headaches, and memory problems. Diagnosis is made through blood tests and clinical evaluation. Treatment involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Physical therapy can help manage pain and improve range of motion in the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of the disease.
CHRONICILLNESSANDAGING.ppt
This document discusses chronic illnesses that are common in older adults, including heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among older adults and is often due to atherosclerosis narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow. Cancer rates also increase with age due to long latency periods of carcinogens accumulating in the body over time. Stroke results from changes in the blood vessels supplying the brain and can cause paralysis or speech impairments. Risk factors for these conditions include smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Jayvardan science project on heart dieases
This document provides information about heart disease including what it is, what causes it, symptoms, risk factors, and prevention and treatment options. It defines heart disease as a condition where the coronary arteries become blocked, restricting blood flow to the heart. The main causes are identified as atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in the arteries, and hypertension. Risk factors discussed include high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, and family history. The summary emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications like a healthy diet, exercise, not smoking, and monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels to prevent heart disease.
Cardiomyopathy
This document defines and describes various types of cardiomyopathies including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. It discusses their causes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. The main types are defined as primary disorders of the heart muscle that cause abnormal function and are not caused by other cardiac diseases. Causes can include genetic/inherited factors, infections, metabolic disorders, toxins and medications. Symptoms vary from none to heart failure and arrhythmias depending on the individual and severity of disease.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
This document provides an overview of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It defines SAH as blood entering the subarachnoid space, with the most common cause being the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (65-80% of cases). The incidence is about 9-10 per 100,000 people per year. Clinical presentation includes a sudden, severe headache and may include decreased consciousness, neck stiffness, vomiting, and vision changes. Diagnosis is made through CT scan, MRI, lumbar puncture, and angiography. Multiple grading scales exist to classify SAH severity and predict outcomes, with the Hunt and Hess and World Federation of Neurosurgeons scales discussed in detail.
