Objectives• At the end of the unit, students will be able to:1. Utilize Functional health pattern to identify patients problems
related to neurovascular disorders including:– Osteoarthritis and RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS– Osteomylitis– Osteoporosis
2. Integrate pathophysiology and pharmacology concepts of disease.3. Apply nursing process with support on Evidence-Based Nursing
(EBN) to provide to the clients with neurovascular disorders.4. Discuss the holistic approach for nursing management of the
patient with neurovascular diseases.5. Develop a teaching plan for a client experiencing disorders of the
neurovascular disorders.

Rheumatoid Arthritis• Chronic, systemic, progressive inflammatory
disease of the synovial tissue, bilateral,involving numerous joints.
• Synovitis -warm, red, swollen joints resultingfrom accumulation of fluid and inflammatorycells.
• Classified as autoimmune process• Exacerbations and remissions• Can cause severe deformities that restrict
function.

Conti…• RA- chronic, progressive, systemic disease of
unknown etiology.
• The clinical manifestations are primarilyinflammation of synovial tissue in the joints.
• The inflammatory response may affect anyarea of the body in which connective tissue ispresent (blood vessels, heart, skin, etc).

RA- Risk Factors
• Female gender 2:1 and 4:1(Khanna, Arnold, Pencharz, et al., 2006)
• Age 20-50 years• Genetic predisposition• Epstein Barr virus• Stress

Rheumatoid Arthritis- Dx• Rheumatoid Factor antibody- High titers
correlate with severe disease, 80% pts.• Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Titer- positive
titer is associated with RA.• C- reactive protein- 90% pts.• ESR: Elevated, moderate to severe elevation• Arthocentesis- synovial fluid aspirated by
needle

RA – Signs and Symptoms• Joints- bilateral and symmetric stiffness, tenderness,
swelling and temp. changes in joint.• Pain at rest and with movement• Pulses- check peripheral pulses, use doppler if necessary,
check capillary refill.• Edema- observe, report and record amt. and location of
edema.• ROM, muscle strength, mobility, atrophy• Anorexia, weight loss• Fever- generally low grade

RA- Sign and Symptoms
1. Fatigue- unusual fatigue, generalized weakness2. Morning stiffness lasting longer than 1 an hour after
rising, subsides with activity.3. Red, warm, swollen, painful joints4. Systemic S&S5. Pain- at rest and with movement

Rheumatoid Arthritis- Tx• Rest, during day- decrease wt. bearing stress.• ROM- maintain joint function, exercise –water.• Medication- analgesic and anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS),
steroids, Gold therapy, topical meds. Immunosuppressivedrugs- Imuran, Cytoxan, methotrexate. Monitor for toxiceffects
• Biological response modifiers (BRM):Inhibit action oftumor necrosis factor (Humira, Enbrel, Remicade)
• Ultrasound, diathermy, hot and cold applications• Surgical- Synovectomy, Arthroplasty, Total hip
replacement.

Nursing Diagnosis1. Mobility, impaired physical/Walking,
impairedMay be related to:– Skeletal deformity– Pain, discomfort– Intolerance to activity; decreased muscle strength
2. Body Image disturbed/Role Performance,ineffective May be related to:– Changes in ability to perform usual tasks– Increased energy expenditure; impaired mobility

2. Body Image disturbed/Role Performance,ineffective May be related to:– Changes in ability to perform usual tasks– Increased energy expenditure; impaired mobility
Conti….3. Pain, acute/chronic
– May be related to:– Injuring agents: distension of tissues by
accumulation of fluid/inflammatory process,destruction of joint
4. Self-Care deficit– May be related to:– Musculoskeletal impairment; decreased
strength/endurance, pain on movement– Depression

Nursing Interventions• Assist with/encourage physical activity• Provide a safe environment• Utilize progressive muscle relaxation• Refer to support groups• Emotional support
– Administer prescribed medications, which may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, slow acting antirheumatic medication andcorticosteroid.
– Provide pain relief. Provide comfort measures, including massage and positionchanges. Apply hot or cold therapy to affected joints according to the client’sneeds.
– Promote self care.– Promote adequate rest and sleep to prevent fatigue; provide comfort measures,
including a foam mattress and supportive pillows; and discuss energyconservation techniques.
– Promote client and family coping.

Conti…– Encourage proper body alignment to prevent contractures.– Collaborate with the physical therapist to design and
provide the client with a physical therapy program, whichbegins after the acute phase resolves. Encourage a muscleactivity program for self- care. Water exercises areexcellent because water promotes buoyancy, which easesjoint movements.
– Recommend a weight reduction program, if appropriate.– Collaborate with the occupational therapist and promote the
use of braces, splints, and assistive mobility devices, ifappropriate.
– Discuss relaxation techniques, such as imagery, self-hypnosis, biofeedback, diversionary activities, anddistraction for pain management.
– Discuss maintaining optimal nutritional status.– Provide a referral to the Arthritis Foundation.

vertebrae)
