The patient, a 45-year-old male smoker with a stressful job, presented with chest pain and pressure. Assessments found elevated blood pressure and a family history of hypertension and diabetes. Nursing diagnoses included ineffective tissue perfusion related to decreased cardiac output. Planned interventions included establishing a quiet environment, elevating the head of the bed and legs, repositioning every 2 hours, instructing on small frequent feedings, teaching relaxation techniques, providing oxygen as ordered, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide holistic care. The expected outcomes were for the patient to display stable vital signs, reduced episodes of dyspnea and angina, and participation in activities to reduce heart workload within 8 hours.

- Provide oxygen and Oxygenation
monitor oxygen increases the amount saturation via pulse of oxygen circulating in oximetry, as ordered. the blood, increasing the amount of available oxygen to the myocardium and thus reducing myocardial ischemia and pain.
