INTRODUCTION Angina, or angina pectoris, is the medical term used to describe the temporary chest discomfort that occurs when the heart is not getting enough blood. The heart is a muscle (myocardium) and gets its blood supply from the coronary arteries. Blood carries the oxygen and nutrients the heart muscle needs to keep pumping. When the heart does not get enough blood, it can no longer function at its full capacity. When physical exertion, strong emotions, extreme temperatures, or eating increase the demand on the heart, a person with angina feels temporary pain, pressure, fullness, or squeezing in the center of the chest or in the neck, shoulder, jaw, upper arm, or upper back. This is angina, especially if the discomfort is relieved by removing the stressor and/or taking sublingual (under the tongue) nitroglycerin. The discomfort of angina is temporary, meaning a few seconds or minutes, not lasting hours or all day. An episode of angina is not a heart attack. Having angina means you have an increased risk of having a heart attack. A heart attack is when the blood supply to part of the heart is cut off and that part of the muscle dies (infarction). Prolonged or unchecked angina can lead to a heart attack or increase the risk of having a heart rhythm abnormality. Either of those could lead to sudden death. Angina pectoris is a common manifestation of coronary artery disease. The pain is caused by reduced blood flow to a segment of heart muscle (myocardial ischemia). It usually lasts for only a few minutes, and an attack is usually quickly relieved by rest or drugs (such as nitroglycerin). Also, it is possible to have myocardial ischemia without experiencing angina. Typically, angina is described as a "pressure" or "squeezing" pain that starts in the center of the chest and may spread to the shoulders or arms (most often on the left side, although either or both sides may be involved), the neck, jaw or back. It is usually triggered by extra demand on the heart: exercise, an emotional upset, exposure to cold, digesting a heavy meal are common examples. Some people experience angina while sleeping or at rest. This type of angina may be caused by a spasm in a coronary artery, which most commonly occurs at the site of atherosclerotic plaque in a diseased vessel. Most people with angina learn to adjust their lives to minimize attacks. There are cases, however, when the attacks come frequently and without provocation - a condition known as unstable angina. This is often a prelude to a heart attack and requires special

treatment, primarily with drugs. Angina affects both men and women, usually in middle age. Men are much more likely than women to experience it before age 60. It may develop weeks, months or even years before a heart attack, or may be experienced only after a heart attack has occurred. Angina symptoms include: Chest pain or discomfort Pain in your arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back accompanying chest pain Nausea Fatigue Shortness of breath Sweating Dizziness The chest pain and discomfort common with angina may be described as pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. Some people with angina symptoms describe angina as feeling like a vise is squeezing their chest or feeling like a heavy weight has been placed on their chest. For others, it may feel like indigestion. Characteristics of stable angina Develops when your heart works harder, such as when you exercise or climb stairs Can usually be predicted and the pain is usually similar to previous types of chest pain you've had Lasts a short time, perhaps five minutes or less Disappears sooner if you rest or use your angina medication Characteristics of unstable angina (a medical emergency) Occurs even at rest Is a change in your usual pattern of angina Is unexpected Is usually more severe and lasts longer than stable angina, maybe as long as 30 minutes May not disappear with rest or use of angina medication Might signal a heart attack

Characteristics of variant angina (Prinzmetal's angina) Usually happens when you're resting Is often severe May be relieved by angina medication In the United States, 10.2 million are estimated to experience angina with approximately 500,000 new cases occurring each year. Angina is more often the presenting symptom of coronary artery disease in women than in men

III.

DEVELOPMENTAL DATA Erik Erickson 8 Stages of Development Young Adulthood: 35 to 55 Ego Development Outcome: Generativity vs. Stagnation Basic Strengths: Work & Parenthood Work is most crucial. Erikson observed that middle-age is when we tend to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding our family. Also, middle adulthood is when we can expect to "be in charge," the role we've longer envied.

The significant task is to perpetuate culture and transmit values of the culture through the family (taming the kids) and working to establish a stable environment. Strength comes through care of others and production of something that contributes to the betterment of society, which Erikson calls generativity, so when we're in this stage we often fear inactivity and meaninglessness. As our children leave home, or our relationships or goals change, we may be faced with major life changes the mid-life crisis and struggle with finding new meanings and purposes. If we don't get through this stage successfully, we can become self-absorbed and stagnate. Significant relationships are within the workplace, the community and the family. Robert J. Havighurst (Middle Adult 30 years old 60 years old) *Assisting teenage children to become responsible and happy adults. * Achieving adult social and civic responsibility. * Reaching and maintaining satisfactory performance in ones occupational career. *Developing adult leisure time activities. * Relating oneself to ones spouse as a person. * To accept and adjust to the physiological changes of middle age. *Adjusting to aging parents. INTERPRETATION
7

The information listed above made by these two famous theorist are being exhibited by our patient. Basing on what we have assessed and upon interviewing we have known that some characteristics that a normal 53 year old are present. On the first developmental theory which is from Eric Erickson wherein the major conflict a person may encounter when he will reach this stage is Generativity versus Stagnation, our patient has successfully entered this stage. In this stage, she was able establish her career working productively as a manger of MLhuiller. She has her own family in which she is living harmoniously with her husband and four children. She happily shared to us that she was able to guide her children in which path to take for them to be able have a better future. She appears so proud of her children and feels loved as we can see her children reciprocate it to the way on how they care on their mother during her hospitalization. She also shared that she is happy in joining activities that can help the lives of others.

On the second theory by Robert Havighurst, people tend to exhibit the characteristics of parenting much time. They act us a protector and a guide to their children by leading them to the right attitude in order for their children to become a good person when they grow. so that people will not blame the parents. Their major role is to guide their children so that they will not be misled to something that is inappropriate, it always reflect on how the parents have raised their children. She shared to us that even though she is busy with work and she also has time to have her leisure time with her children. She finds time to be with them and spend some quality time but the fact that she is workaholic it can never be changed. Her officemates are telling her to take a rest but she refused for it saying that she is needed in the office.

Chest X ray

A chest x ray is a procedure used to evaluate organs and structures within the chest for symptoms of disease. Chest x rays include views of the lungs, heart, and small portions of the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid gland and the bones of the chest area. X rays are a form of radiation that can penetrate the body and produce an image on an xray film.

There are no active pulmonary infiltrates. The heart is magnified. The aorta is tortuous and calcific. The trachea is midline. The pulmonary vascular markings are within normal. Both hemidiaphragms and both costophrenic sulci are intact. The rest of the osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY December 3, 2013 An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses highpitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of the heart. An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. The picture is much more detailed than a plain x-ray image and involves no radiation exposure. QUALITATIVE The study was done in Sinus Rhythm. Normal left ventricular size and wall thickness with mildy hypokinesia of the mid to apical segments of the interior and anterior left ventricular free wall and interventricular septum. The rest of the visualized left ventricular segments contract adequately.

V. ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY The Cardiovascular System The heart and circulatory system make up the cardiovascular system. The heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs, tissues, and cells of the body. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and removes the carbon dioxide and waste products made by those cells. Blood is carried from the heart to the rest of your body through a complex network of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Blood is returned to your heart through venules and veins. The one-way circulatory system carries blood to all parts of your body. This process of blood flow within your body is called circulation. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart, and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to your heart. In pulmonary circulation, though, the roles are switched. It is the pulmonary artery that brings oxygen-poor blood into your lungs and the pulmonary vein that brings oxygenrich blood back to your heart. In the diagram, the vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood are colored red, and the vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood are colored blue. Twenty major arteries make a path through your tissues, where they branch into smaller vessels called arterioles. Arterioles further branch into capillaries, the true deliverers of oxygen and nutrients to your cells. Most capillaries are thinner than a hair. In fact, many are so tiny, only one blood cell can move through them at a time. Once the capillaries deliver oxygen and nutrients and pick up carbon dioxide and other waste, they move the blood back through wider vessels called venules. Venules eventually join to form veins, which deliver the blood back to your heart to pick up oxygen. The heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces (200 to 425 grams) and is a little larger than the size of your fist. By the end of a long life, a person's heart may have beat (expanded and contracted) more than 3.5 billion times. In fact, each day, the average heart beats 100,000 times, pumping about 2,000 gallons (7,571 liters) of blood.
29

Your heart is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone (sternum). A double-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds your heart like a sac. The outer layer of the pericardium surrounds the roots of your heart's major blood vessels and is attached by ligaments to your spinal column, diaphragm, and other parts of your body. The inner layer of the pericardium is attached to the heart muscle. A coating of fluid separates the two layers of membrane, letting the heart move as it beats, yet still be attached to your body. Your heart has 4 chambers. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria, and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles. A wall of muscle called the septum separates the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles. The left ventricle is the largest and strongest chamber in your heart. The left ventricle's chamber walls are only about a half-inch thick, but they have enough force to push blood through the aortic valve and into your body. The Heart Valves Four types of valves regulate blood flow through your heart: The tricuspid valve regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The pulmonary valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to your lungs to pick up oxygen. The mitral valve lets oxygen-rich blood from your lungs pass from the left atrium into the left ventricle. The aortic valve opens the way for oxygen-rich blood to pass from the left ventricle into the aorta, your body's largest artery, where it is delivered to the rest of your body. The Conduction System Electrical impulses from your heart muscle (the myocardium) cause your heart to contract. This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the right atrium. The SA node is sometimes called the heart's "natural pacemaker." An electrical impulse from this natural pacemaker travels through the muscle fibers of the atria and ventricles, causing them to contract. Although the SA node sends electrical impulses at a certain rate, your heart rate may still change depending on physical demands, stress, or hormonal factors.

30

SYSTEMIC AND PULMONARY CIRCULATION

Figure 1-3 Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation In the systemic circulation, arteries bring oxygenated blood to the tissues of the body. The pulmonary circulation (for arterial blood sent to the lungs) is excluded from this definition. As blood circulates through the body, oxygen diffuses from the blood into cells surrounding the capillaries, and carbon dioxide diffuses into the blood from the capillary cells. Veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart. A heartbeat is a two-part pumping action that takes about a second. As blood collects in the upper chambers (the right and left atria), the heart's natural pacemaker (the SA node) sends out an electrical signal that causes the atria to contract. This contraction pushes blood through the tricuspid and mitral valves into the resting lower chambers (the right and left ventricles). This part of the two-part pumping phase (the longer of the two) is called diastole. The second part of the pumping phase begins when the ventricles are full of blood. The electrical signals from the SA node travel along a pathway of cells to the ventricles, causing them to contract. This is called systole. As the tricuspid and mitral valves shut tight to prevent a back flow of blood, the pulmonary and aortic valves are pushed open. While blood is pushed from the right ventricle into the lungs to pick up oxygen, oxygenrich blood flows from the left ventricle to the heart and other parts of the body. After blood moves into the pulmonary artery and the aorta, the ventricles relax, and the pulmonary and aortic valves close. The lower pressure in the ventricles causes the tricuspid and mitral valves to open, and the cycle begins again. This series of contractions is repeated over and over again, increasing during times of exertion and decreasing while you are at rest. The heart normally beats about 60 to 80 times a minute when you are at rest, but this can vary. As you get older, your resting heart rate rises. Also, it is usually lower in people who are physically fit. Source: Snell, Richard S. Clinical Anatomy by Regions. 8th Edition. Lipincott Williams & Wilkins. 530 Walnut Street, PA. 2008.

VII. NURSING MANAGEMENT

PROGRESS NOTES

FIRST DAY We had our first assessment and visited as a team last December 5, 2013 Thursday at Polymedic General Hospital Station 5. Upon arrival, patient was awake sitting up on bed with #1 D5W 500cc at 320cc level regulated at KVO rate. We had done our head to toe assessment and assessed patients health status through inspection, auscultation, palpation and percussion. Assessment findings included: Verbalization of anxiety at moderate level and she said she cant sleep properly due to some environmental stimuli (ventilation, space and noise). We also determined the patients diet and we found out that she had a good apetite. Vital signs we re within normal range. With the assessment presented, we prioritized problems and planned interventions based on the existing problems manifested by the patient. Interventions planned were focused on providing comfort to the patient. The following were the interventions rendered and health teachings given: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Obtained and recorded vital signs. Instructed to avoid food rich in cholesterol such fried foods and egg. Encouraged adequate rest periods Encouraged to do deep breathing exercise during onset of pain. Placed patient to comfortable position. Encouraged to do diversional activities like listening to music. Instructed significant others to assist the patient in doing daily activities. Emphasized compliance of prescribed medications.

SECOND DAY We had our second assessment last December 6, 2013 Friday at Polymedic General Hospital Station 5. Upon arrival, patient was awake, sitting up on bed with the same IVF and infusion rate. We did our head-to-toe assessment. Assessment findings included: We found that the patient was conscious and coherent. No complaint of chest pain was noted. But the patient complained about having a headache.

A. IDEAL NURSING MANAGEMENT

DIAGNOSIS Acute Pain related to increase cardiac workload and oxygen consumption

INTERVENTIONS Independent Instruct client to notify nurse immediately when chest pain occurs

RATIONALE Pain and decreased cardiac output may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to release excessive amounts of norepinephrine, which increases platelet aggregation and release of thromboxane A2. Provides information about disease progression. Aids in evaluating effectiveness of interventions and may indicate need for change in therapeutic regimen. Helps differentiate chest pain and aids in evaluating possible progression to unstable angina. Stable angina usually lasts 3 -15 minutes and is often relieved by rest and sublingually nitrogycerin. Reduces myocardial oxygen demand to minimize risk of tissue injury and necrosis

Assess and document client response and effects of medication

Identify precipitating event, frequency, duration, intensity, and location of pain

Place client at complete bed rest during angina episodes

Dependent Provide supplemental oxygen as indicated

Increases oxygen available for myocardial uptake and reversal of ischemia

40

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Risk for decreased Cardiac Output related prolonged myocardial ischemia and effects of medications

INTERVENTIONS Independent Monitor Vital Signs and cardiac rhythm

RATIONALE Tachycardia and changes in blood pressure may be present because of pain, anxiety, hypoxemia, and reduced cardiac output. ECG changes reflecting ischemia and dysrhythmias indicate need for additional evaluation and therapeutic invtervention S3, S4 or crackles may occur with cardiac decomposatuin or some medications, especially beta blockers, development of murmurs may reveal a valvular cause for chest pain, such as aortic or mitral stenosis or papillary muscle rupture. Valsalvas manuever causes bradycardia, which may be followed by rebound tachycardia, both of which may impair cardiac output Angina is only a symptom of underlying pathology causing myocardial ischemia. Disease may compromise cardiac function to point of decomposition Increases oxygen available for myocardial uptake to improve contractility, reduce ischemia, and reduce lactic acid levels

Auscultate breath sounds and heart sounds. Listen for murmurs

Stress importance of avoiding straining and bearing down, especially during defecation Assess for signs and symptoms of heart failure

Dependent Administer supplemental oxygen as needed.

41

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Anxiety related underlying to pathophysiological response

INTERVENTIONS Independent Explain purpose of tests and procedures

RATIONALE Reduces anxiety attributable to fear of unknown diagnosis and prognosis Unexpressed feelings may create internal turmoil and affect self- image. Verbalization of concerns reduces tension, verifies level of coping and facilitates dealing with feelings. Presence of negative self-talk can increase level of anxiety and may contribute to exacerbation of angina attacks Reassures client that role in the family and business has not been altered Encourages clients to test symptom control such as no angina with certain levels of activity, to increase confidence in medical program and to integrate abilities into perceptions of self

Promote expression of feelings and fears such as denial, depression, and anger. Let client or SO know these are normal reactions. Note statement of concern such as Heart Attack is inevitable

Encourage family and friends to treat client as before Tell client the myocardial regimen has been designed to reduce or limit future attacks and increase cardiac stability

Dependent Administer sedatives and tranquilizers as indicated

May be desired to help client relax until physically able to re-establish adequate coping strategies

VII. REFERRAL AND FOLLOW-UP HEALTH TEACHINGS Name: Sibuyan, Ma. Lilia T.

Client was reminded of the name and purpose of Medications: prescribed drugs; and was instructed to take medications as prescribed and reminded him of the consequences of not doing so, which is exacerbation of his condition. Instructed to take medicines as prescribed by the physician, such as: Exercise: Mucosta 100mg 1tab 3x a day Clopidogrel 75mg 1tab once a day Vastarel 35mg 1tab twice a day Lipitor 80mg 1tab ince a day Duavent 1neb q12h Encouraged client to stay as active as he can; a mild exercise regimen was suggested (helps decrease symptoms and improve heart function). Stretching in the morning and active ROM exercises was recommended. Walking around the house or outside with friends once a day for 15-30 minutes if tolerated was advised. Heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided. Rest in between any activity and to rest when tired (or experiencing shortness of breath) was emphasized. Outpatient: Explained the purpose and importance of a follow-up check-up. Return 3 days after discharged to Dr. Sandra Oliveros clinic at

47

COMC, Room 214 at 10:00am. Advised the client and the caregiver to seek consult in the nearest health care facility when any signs of complications occur: fever, chills, pain or feeling of fullness in the chest, restlessness, decrease in the amount of urine and frequency of urination, rapid respirations, bloody sputum, palpitations and warmth pain numbness tingling on extremities Diet: Instructed the client to limit intake of sodium by avoiding canned and processed goods, cheese, seasonings, sauces and condiments; also to refrain adding too much salt to foods when cooking. Encouraged recommended dietary restrictions: a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet to avoid the risk for any advanced heart problems.

(Recommended foods: high fiber food items like green leafy vegetables and whole wheat bread. Foods to be avoided: fats like butter, coconut oil, fried food, cakes, ice creams, ham, bacon, yolk of egg, red meat, organ meats, crab, shrimps, cheese, cream) Instructed client to not skip meals, to eat in small, frequent feedings and to rest before, after and even while eating so as not to cause sudden increases in the workload of the heart.

EVALUATION

During the initial assessment, patient X was in a sustaining pain in the chest. She was anxious, restless at first but the support of his family really gave her the courage that they can overcome this trial Diet was a low salt and low fat. The patient was restless due to difficulty in breathing and complaints of chest pain. In response to his condition, care was given to her. Her vital signs were monitored every 4 hours and I & 0 every shift. Medications due for her were given every day. Advocacy in nursing was definitely applied in her care, accepting her minute requests so as to alleviate her suffering as much as possible. His temperature was also monitored because of some changes due to her condition. During the last two visit condition. In caring for patient X, we have not only contributed to the betterment of her health, but also to the improvement of ourselves as student nurses. Any circumstance during the time of caring for patient X added to the skills, knowledge and attitude which will surely be beneficial in the future. to our patient, there was an improvement in her
