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.

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.
