Immunologic :- Specific blood cells and lymphatic organs that help to prevent disease.

Respiratory :- Lungs and passages leading to the lungs that take part in oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.

Angina Pectoris Management and Nursing Care Plan

Angina Pectoris Management and Nursing Care Plan Description Angina is chest pain resulting from myocardial ischemia caused by inadequate myocardial blood and oxygen supply. Angina is caused by an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Causes include obstruction of coronary blood flow because of atherosclerosis, coronary artery spasm, and conditions increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. The goal of treatment is to provide relief of an acute attack, correct the imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand, and prevent the progression of the disease ad further attacks to reduce the risk of MI. Patterns of angina 1 . Stable angina Stable angina also called exertional angina. Stable angina occurs with activities that involve exertion or emotional stress and is relieved with rest or nitroglycerin. Stable angina usually has a stable pattern of onset, duration, severity, and relieving factors. 2. Unstable angina Unstable angina also is called...

Burns & It's Management

Burns & It's Management Description Burns are caused by a transfer of energy from a heat source to the body. The depth of the injury depends on the temperature of the burning agent and the duration of contact with it. Burns disrupt the skin, which leads to increased ﬂuid loss; infection; hypothermia; scarring; compromised immunity; and changes in function, appearance, and body image. Young children and the elderly continue to have increased morbidity and mortality when compared to other age groups with similar injuries. Inhalation injuries in addition to cutaneous burns worsen the prognosis. Characteristics of Burn The depth of a burn injury depends on the type of injury, causative agent, temperature of the burn agent, duration of contact with the agent, and the skin thickness. Burns are classiﬁed according to the depth of tissue destruction: Superﬁcial partialthickness burns (similar to ﬁrstdegree), such as sunburn: The epidermis and possibly a portion of the...
