Syncope

Syncope can result from several conditions, including electrolyte imbalance, hypothyroidism, myocarditis, acute coronary syndrome, and electrical disturbances in the heart.

Foot assessment and care

For the foot to properly perform its main functions of weight bearing and propulsion, 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 tendons, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and nails must work together. Given this complexity, is it any wonder that many Americans, especially older adults, frequently experience issues? A simple 3-minute assessment can help identify problems and provide patient education that will aid prevention.

This misses the opportunity to address a patient’s concerns, build on their prior knowledge, use their preferred learning method, and evaluate the extent of learning. Patients will more likely understand and adhere to treatment plans if we incorporate their priorities and preferences into the education approach.
