- How does angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) improve the cardiac function of a client diagnosed with heart failure?They increase the heart rate and decrease the force of the contractions. They increase the resistance to the (L) ventricular ejection (afterload). They promote relaxing of the arterioles and arterial vasodilation. They help prevent sodium and water retention by blocking aldosterone. They improve the heart's stroke volume, thus improve cardiac output.
- What are the procedural steps the nurse should perform when assessing a client's carotid arteries?Ask client to hold breath for a few heartbeats, while auscultating for bruits. If difficult to assess, massage vigorously and palpate deeply into the skin folds of the neck. Help the client to a sitting position and inspect both sides of neck for arterial pulsations. Use the index and middle fingers to palpate around the medial edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Palpate both arteries simultaneously, to make a comparison of the rate, rhythm, strength and elasticity.
