CASE PRESENTATION OF BSN III-4 IIIGROUP 16 @ ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES MEDICAL HOSPITAL
Introduction
Cerebrovascular disease is a group of brain dysfunctions related to disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain. Hypertension is the most important cause. Cerebrovascular disease includes all disorders in which an area of the brain is temporarily or permanently affected by bleeding or lack of blood flow. Cerebrovascular diseases included stroke, carotid stenosis, stenosis, vertebral stenosis and intracranial stenosis, stenosis, aneurysms and vascular malformations. Restrictions in blood flow may occur from vessel narrowing (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), (stenosis), blockage (embolism), or blood vessel rupture (hemorrhage). Lack of sufficient blood flow (ischemia) affects brain tissue and may cause a stroke.

Montitor V/S
To note changes and for baseline comparison To be informed about the situations that may restrict movements.) The longer the patient remains immobile the greater the level of debilitation that will occur
Determine the diagnosis that contributes to immobility Encourage and facilitate early ambulation and other ADLs when possible.Assist with each initial change :dangling, sitting in chair, ambulation Perform passive or active ROM exercises to all extremities
Short tem : After 4 hours of nursing intervention the patient and the patient's relatives was able to verbalize understanding situation or risk factors and individual treatment regimen and safety measures. Goal was met. Long term : After 4 days of continuous ,effective and collaborative nursing interventions, patient was able to increase physical mobility and decrease difficulty of moving. Goal was met
Long term : After 4 days of continuous , effective and collaborative nursing interventions. client would possibly be able to increase her range of mobility and decrease difficulty of moving. Exercise promotes increased venousr eturn, prevents stiffness, and maintains muscle strength and endurance This optimizes circulation to all tissues and relieves pressure
