Evaluating the Understanding of the

Teaching for a Client Who Has Heart

Failure

Result of an acute of chronic

cardiopulmonary problem.

The heart muscle is unable to pump

effectively, resulting in inadequate

cardiac output, myocardial

hypertrophy, and pulmonary/

systemic congestion

Maintain an exercise routine to remain

physically active and consult with

provider before starting any exercise

regimenconsume a diet low in sodium

along with fluid restrictions and consult

with the profvider regarding diet

Older adults have an increased

risk for heart failure and can have

worse manifestations due to

increased systolic blood presure

and some medications

Hemodynamic monitoring - mixed venous oxygen

saturation is directly related to cardiac output. a

drop in SvO2 indicates worsening cardiac

functionUltrasound - used to measure the systolic

and diastolic functioning of the

heartTransesophageal echocardiagraphy. Gives a

detailed view of cardiac structures

Fall Risk,Risk of

infection

Human B-type natriuretic peptides

(hBNP) elevated hBNP confirms a

diagnosis of heart failure in clients who

have dyspnea and rules out respiratory

illnesses

Dyspnea, orthopnea, nocturnal dyspnea,

fatigue, displaced apical pulse, frothy

sputum, pulmonary congestion, jugular vein

distention, ascending dependent edema,

weight gain, polyuria, nocturia

Monitor daily weight and I/Os assess

Ventricular assist device - a mechanical

pump that assists a heart that is too weak to

pump blood through the body used in

clients who are awaiting heart transplants or

who have severe end-stage heart

failure.Heart transplant- a possible option

for end-stage heart failure
