This case study analyzes a patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF), addressing the causes, incidence, and risk factors of the condition, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and low potassium levels. It outlines the impact of CHF on both the patient and their family, including physical, psychological, and socio-economic effects. The study then details five common symptoms of CHF, such as swelling in ankles, shortness of breath, and fatigue, linking each to the underlying pathophysiology. Furthermore, the assignment describes two common classes of drugs used in CHF treatment: ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, explaining their physiological effects and potential side effects. Finally, it outlines nursing care strategies within the first 24 hours of admission, emphasizing the importance of vital sign monitoring, pain management, oxygen administration, and medication administration, all aimed at improving the patient's condition and comfort. The paper is well-referenced with current literature.
