Case ScenarioMrs. J. is a 63-year-old woman who has a history of hypertension
chronic heart failure and sleep apnea. She has been smoking two packs
of cigarettes a day for 40 years and has refused to quit. Three days

the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure.Subjective DataObjective DataCritical Thinking QuestionsWhat nursing interventions are appropriate for Mrs. J. at the time of
her admission? Drug therapy is started for Mrs. J. to control her
symptoms. What is the rationale for the administration of each of the
following medications?Describe four cardiovascular conditions that may lead to heart
failure and what can be done in the form of medical/nursing
interventions to prevent the development of heart failure in each
condition.Taking into consideration the fact that most mature adults take at

that can help prevent problems caused by multiple drug interactions in
older patients. Provide rationale for each of the interventions you
