Question 1

I'm a student nurse currently working with a patient who has category 1 pulmonary tuberculosis. Their x-ray mentioned "fibroreticular densities with cicatricial changes," and I'm not really sure what that means. Could you explain it to me? Also, what kind of breath sounds should I be listening for in this situation?

Breath sounds include crackles,wheezing and bronchial breathing . Patient is advised to continue ATT for 6 months.

While there is no definitive evidence that directly links asthma to an enlarged heart, it is plausible to consider that the increased workload on the heart due to labored breathing in asthma patients could potentially lead to the heart muscle becoming enlarged over time. This condition is known as cardiomegaly. In such cases, it is important to manage asthma effectively to reduce the strain on the heart. Medications such as inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone (100-250 mcg twice daily) and bronchodilators like Albuterol (2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed) can help control asthma symptoms and potentially reduce the risk of complications such as cardiomegaly. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is also recommended to assess heart health and adjust treatment as needed.
