Problem solving approach for Cardiovascular Disease
1.1 Examples of problem solving approach are prompt use of nitroglycerin to prevent pain in the patient, providing palliative care to maintain the ethics while treatment, regular monitoring of hypotension and coronary artery spasm and cardiac catheterization for diagnosis of condition.
1.2 As a nurse, it is extremely important to monitor and document the planned services in order to embark on the pavement for future necessary therapeutic measures for optimum results.
2.1 Oedema and respiratory crackles are maladies occurring due to increased levels of fluid circulating in the body and such condition becomes extremely critical for heart to pump up with. Further addition of intravenous fluid will worsen the situation (Voldby and Brandstrup 2016).
2.2Excessive intravenous fluid can lead to excessive concentrations of sodium and water in body, as it is extremely difficult to excrete it out and can affect the renal function, fluid transportation imbalance and working of organs in body (Moritz and Ayus 2015).
3. Step before intervention requires collection of samples for tests and analysis of symptoms. Intervention for high BPrequires optimum exercise, medication to lower the numbers, stress and hormonal balance. Intervention for high Blood Sugar Levelrequires walking, sugar free diet and intravenous insulin intake. Intervention of high Pulse Rate requires vagal maneuvers, cardioversion and appropriate medication such as anti- arrhythmic injections.
4. Anginine tablets reduce the pain in angina pectoris. 300gms is required for elders and upto 900gms in severe conditions according to the prescription. Effects are immediate and usually last for 30 minutes (Shell et al. 2016).

Alcoholism is excessive consumption of alcohol leading to detrimental effects on the body. Alcohol abuse damages the ability of body to convert the acetaldehyde into acetyl radical for further absorption. Presence of acetaldehyde is poisonous for the body and continual consumption leads to fatal conditions such as heart stroke, cancer, liver damage, pancreas damage, reduced sexual performance and others.
Another condition, Obesity is a medical condition that occurs due to excessive increase in body weight leading to unbalanced Body Mass Index (BMI). Obesity makes a body physically and mentally unfit for undertaking of any activity.
Diabetes is a medical malady occurring due to low levels of insulin present in the body. Insulin is extremely essential for the digestion of food and is achieved by the conversion of glucose into glycogen, as glycogen form can be absorbed further ahead. Diabetes occurs when decrement occurs in insulin level leading to increment of glucose in body. This condition proves to be fatal as it can damage any organ, transportation system, connective system or nervous system of the body.
Above mentioned health conditions usually leads to death before biological maturation and usually do not live his utmost life. Our body sustains mostly on naturally available nutrients and it becomes extremely important to nourish our body with appropriate nutrients from time to time and can be undertaken with healthy diet.

5.7 Yes, diabetes and obesity in Martin will lead to increase in bone fractures and reduced healing of bone damage. Diabetes and obesity affects the concentration of osteoblasts and osteoclasts leading to increased number of osteoclasts and reduced osteoblasts. Osteoblasts undertake the process of bone formation and repair, and reduced number will prevent formation and repair process. Bone formation can be hampered with different conditions such as hyperglycemia, inflammation and others (Jiao, Xiao and Graves 2015).
