Cardiac Teaching 188

Atenolol Teaching 221

Instructed patient about how Atenolol blocks stimulation of receptors within vascular smooth muscle. It also decreases heart rate, decreases comsumption of oxygen by myocardium and it is used to treat hypertension, prophylaxis of angina pectoris, suspected or known myocardial infarction.

Hypothyroidism Teaching 283

Wound Care Teaching 543

Patient was instructed on another leading type of chronic wounds is pressure ulcers. That occurs when pressure on the tissue is grater than the pressure in capillaries, and thus restricts blood flow into the area.

Corns are spots of thick, rough skin, where the tissue builds up on toes constantly barraged by too much rubbing or pressure.
