Understanding the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and treatments for congestive heart failure (CHF) is essential for nursing students preparing for exams and the NCLEX.

This video covers the causes of CHF like hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and valvular disorders that can lead to impairment of the heart's pumping ability. Key signs and symptoms of CHF that nurses must know include fatigue, shortness of breath, peripheral edema, and weight gain from fluid overload. Managing CHF involves diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and diet and fluid restrictions. Reviewing the major characteristics of systolic versus diastolic CHF, nursing interventions, and medications will get you ready to successfully answer exam questions about this common cardiovascular disorder.

R Sided: HEAD: Hepatomegaly, Edema, Ascities, Distended neck vein

L sided: CHOP: Cough, Hemoptysis, Orthopnea, Pulmonary Edema!!

Hope this helps fellow nursing student🥰🥰

I want to say a personal thank you to you. I listened to your videos 4 hrs before my nclex. My cut-off was right at 87. I passed my nclex! What helped me was your visual display. During my exam I thought about the pictures in your lectures and that helped a lot! Thank you. Your videos was truly a blessing!
