    Once Patient Y was placed in a labor room, treatment began immediately. As mentioned previously, the fetal heart rate decreased rapidly. During this time the nurse and physician performed several treatments in order to try and raise the fetal heart rate. First, the nurse applied 10L of oxygen via nasal cannula to the patient. Then, the nurse opened the Lactated Ringers wide so that they would enter the patient faster. Finally, the nurse changed the patient’s position from left sided to right sided and then to on all fours. These interventions did not improve the fetal heart rate. In order for the physician to determine that the fetal heart rate reading was completely accurate, he applied a fetal scalp electrode. The fetal heart rate reading…

Auscultation, using a clock diagram, proceeded from 11 o’clock, 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 8 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions and then about 2.5cm medially from the 4 o’clock position. Each location was assessed for rate, which was 60, consistently and verified via the radial pulse. The rhythm is regular and even with no irregularities or arrhythmias noted at any time. S1 and S2 were distinguished throughout auscultation. At 11 o’clock S2 was louder than S1 and at 5 o’clock S1 was louder than S2, which are normal findings. The carotid pulse was synchronous with the S1 at the 5 o’clock position or the apex. No…

A physical examination also includes: observing the patient’s vital signs, the auscultation procedure, percussion, and palpation. Observing a patient’s vital signs, include heart rate, blood pressure, and also taking the temperature.

    The heart is evolutionary masterpiece. Yet like everything else in nature, it is not perfect and problems may arise. However before its flaws can be mentioned and analysed. It would be prudent to understand how the heart functions in the first place before going in depth into the various problems that might arise within the cardiac cycle. Of which a large number are covered under the various Arrhythmias, which can be divided into two major groups, ventricular arrythythmias and supraventricular arrythythmias. I.e., arrythythmias that occur in the ventricles and arrythythmias that occur above them. Subdivision is possible, with arrhythmias further divided into Disorders of impulse conduction and disorders of impulse generation.…
