Common complications of spinal cord injuries include autonomic dysreflexia, respiratory infections, and pressure ulcers.
Triggers for autonomic dysreflexia may include bladder distension, skin irritation, or tight clothing.

Sensory

Client manifestations of Meniere’s disease include vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
Risk factors for developing glaucoma include age, family history, and elevated intraocular pressure.
Lifestyle modifications to decrease hearing loss risk involve avoiding loud noises, managing ear infections, and regular hearing tests.
Education for post retinal reattachment care includes activity restrictions, follow-up appointments, and recognizing warning signs.
Signs of vision changes indicating cataract development include blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty with night vision.
Symptoms of retinal detachment consist of sudden flashes, floaters, and a shadow or curtain effect over the visual field.
Client teaching for tinnitus includes sound therapy options and stress management techniques.
Amsler grid usage education entails monitoring for visual distortions and reporting changes immediately.

Cardiac

Risk factors for pericarditis include infections, autoimmune diseases, and post-myocardial infarction.
Atrial fibrillation on an ECG presents as irregularly spaced QRS complexes and absent P waves.
In atrial fibrillation, the heart experiences disorganized electrical activity leading to ineffective atrial contractions.
Dilated cardiomyopathy can result from genetic factors, alcohol abuse, or viral infections.
Peripheral artery disease is caused by atherosclerosis leading to narrowed arteries.
Risk factors for atrial fibrillation include hypertension, diabetes, and older age.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy risk factors include genetic mutations and family history of heart disease.
Clients at highest risk for atrial flutter often have underlying heart disease, prior atrial fibrillation, or structural heart abnormalities.
Education on managing symptoms of peripheral vascular disease includes lifestyle modifications, such as exercise and smoking cessation.

Sexual Function

Complications in male clients with UTIs may include prostatitis or epididymitis.
The pathophysiology of primary syphilis involves Treponema pallidum bacterium causing ulcerated lesions.
Client education on fibrocystic breast changes post-menopause includes understanding benign cysts and monitoring for new changes.
Risk factors for bacterial vaginosis include multiple sexual partners, douching, and hormonal changes.
