Refer to The Case of the Cardiac

Refer to The Case of the Cardiac Unit Nurse at the beginning of this chapter. Describe the lifestyle habits, based on what you learned in this chapter, that enable Gracie Chin to stay fit for her job as a cardiac nurse. Gracie Chin is a nurse working in the cardiac care unit at a large metropolitan hospital. Many of the patients in the unit are recovering from open heart surgery and require continual monitoring and attention. Gracie works three 12-hour shifts each week, and her duties require that she be on her feet during most of that time. She checks each patient frequently and performs such tasks as turning and bathing patients, adjusting the levels of their beds, placing patients on and removing them from bedpans, repositioning and maintaining equipment, and reaching to change intravenous fluid bags or to adjust monitoring devices that are located above bed level. In addition to the physical requirements of her job, Gracie must remain mentally alert throughout her shift. Her work requires keen observation skills and good judgment because in patient care, there is no room for error. She must also deal with the stress of working with patients who suffer from serious, often fatal conditions. SCIENCE HEALTH SCIENCE NURSING
