Nursing Diagnosis for Heart Failure
Heart Failure [Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)] overview | Nursing Diagnosis for Heart Failure
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. In congestive heart failure, the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to maintain adequate circulation. This results in a backup of blood and the extra pressure may cause accumulation of fluid into the lungs. Heart failure is primarily due to problems with ventricular pumping action of the cardiac muscle, which may be caused by diseases such as myocardial infarctions (heart attacks), endocarditis (infection in the heart), hypertension (high blood pressure), or valvular insufficiency.

Nursing Diagnosis for Cellulitis
Overview of Cellulitis | Nursing Diagnosis for Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a localized or diffuse inflammation of connective tissue with severe inflammation of dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin. Cellulitis can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria, and often occurs where the skin has previously been broken: cracks in the skin, cuts, blisters, burns, insect bites, surgical wounds, intravenous drug injection or sites of intravenous catheter insertion. Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection, though cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. The mainstay of therapy remains treatment with appropriate antibiotics, and recovery periods last from 48 hours to six months.
