In this case, rapid, disorganized electrical signals cause the atria, the two upper chambers of the heart, to contract very rapidly. To better understand how atrial fibrillation happens, nurses and nursing students should brush up on their knowledge in cardiac anatomy and how electrical conduction in the heart works. The incidence of this condition becomes more common with age. Atrial fibrillation can be caused by alcohol use, CHF, CAD, heart surgery, hypertension, pericarditis, medications and valvular heart disease. Nurses in floor observing patients with heart risks should suspect atrial fibrillation if the patient presents with palpitations, SOB while lying down, confusion, dizziness, light headedness, fainting and fatigue. To better understand atrial fibrillation, RNs and nursing students can refer to the links below.

It is a chemical that is intended to substitute marijuana and mimics its effects only more potent. It may be a mixture of herbal and spice plant products, but it is sprayed with a potent psychotropic drug and likely contaminated with an unknown toxic substance that is causing many adverse effects. Unlike marijuana, reactions from using K2 include agitation, anxiety, tachycardia, and elevated blood pressure. There are also synthetic/designer drugs out there like K2 that are contaminated with unknown substances and untested substances making it difficult to identify and predict its effects. Nurses should continuously assess these patients for unexpected adverse reactions and document their findings. Coordination with poison control centers and providing them the information gathered from these patients will help in providing effective nursing interventions and treatment and also to have reference for same cases that may be encountered in the future.
