Febrile Seizures What is the damage For the most part, having a febrile seizure will not cause any damage to your child. It will not leave him or her with brain damage. The odds are very high against a febrile seizure being a sign of epilepsy (a seizure disorder not related to fevers). Although small, the risk of epilepsy exists in those children who have: •

febrile seizures that last longer than 15 minutes

•

febrile seizures in which the whole body is not involved

•

more than 1 febrile seizure within a 24 hour period

•

cerebral palsy

•

delayed development

•

some neurological problems

If your child is standing when the seizure occurs, he or she may be hurt falling to the floor or ground. It is also possible for your child to choke on food or saliva. Follow the steps on the next page to help avoid these hazards.

earning about Coronary Artery Disease

How the heart gets oxygen 1. right coronary artery (RCA) 2. left anterior descending (LAD) 3

3. circumflex artery

The heart needs a steady supply of oxygen and other nutrients to work as it should. Your coronary arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood, oxygen and other nutrients to your heart.

These arteries can become clogged by cholesterol and fat deposits (called plaque). When this happens they narrow and do not allow enough blood through to your heart. This is coronary artery disease, or CAD*.

Facts about CAD

Are you at risk?

If your heart does not get enough oxygen-rich blood, you may have chest pain called angina. When this happens, it can damage some of the your heart’s tissues.

CAD is much more common in older men. But, as women age, their risk of CAD is equal to men.

If the blood supply to your heart is cut off altogether, you may have a heart attack. When this happens, the damage is so bad that some of your heart cells die.

Having a family history of coronary artery disease puts you at greater risk for getting it. These factors also play a big role: poor diet (high-fat, high-cholesterol diet) high stress levels smoking

There is no way for your body to make new heart cells. So if some of your cells die, the damage is permanent. CAD is the leading killer of men and women in the US.

High Blood Glucose and Diabetes Your body uses insulin to help glucose (sugar) get into your cells to be used for energy. When you have diabetes, your body does not have enough insulin or has trouble using the insulin it has. When glucose builds up in your blood rather than going into your cells you get hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).

When there is not enough insulin, your body breaks down fats to use for energy. When this happens, the body makes an acid called ketones. Your body can’t accept large amounts of ketones, so it tries to get rid of them in your urine. But the body can’t get rid of them all. This leads to ketoacidosis—a serious problem that must be treated at once.

Wha t caus es hi gh blood gl ucose ? The cause of high could be that you:

blood glucose

• ate more than you should • did not eat at the same time each day

Being able to tell if you have high blood glucose is important. Knowing the signs and doing something about them when they first occur can help avoid ketoacidosis. You and those around you need to know these signs:

• did not exercise enough • did not take your insulin/oral agents or took less than you should have • are sick

• having to urinate often • feeling very tired or sleepy • stomach pains or nausea

• have taken other medicines that affect your blood glucose levels

K eep your feet CLEAN & DRY 1. Wash feet gently each day. This can be part of your daily bath or shower. (Do not soak feet.) Use a white washcloth to help you see any drainage.

(item 628)

R eport foot injuries or infections EARLY This includes:

3. Pat feet dry, and gently dry between each toe.

6. Have your doctor or a podiatrist show you how to trim or file your toenails. Then trim or file them only after bathing when the nails are soft. (File with an emery board only.) If your toenails have a fungus or are ingrown, always have a podiatrist or your doctor trim them for you.

4. Look between all toes and at the tops, bottoms, sides and heels of your feet.

7. If your feet sweat, add a tiny bit of powder to your socks or stockings before putting them on.

5. See a podiatrist or your doctor when you have corns, calluses, blisters, cuts, scrapes, bruises or other foot problems. Don’t treat foot problems yourself.

8. If your feet are dry and scaly, rub hand lotion on the feet after your bath and before bedtime. This will help keep the skin soft. Never put lotion between your toes.

2. Use warm (not hot) water and a mild soap. (Avoid deodorant soaps.) Test the water with your elbow before bathing. Your feet may be too numb to feel the heat.

mprove blood flow to feet and legs

1. If you smoke, quit.

5. Eat less saturated fat. This can help prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries (atherosclerosis) and improve blood flow.

2. Control blood sugar and blood pressure. 3. Exercise regularly as prescribed by your doctor, and try to keep a normal body weight. 4. Wear cotton socks to bed if your feet are cold. Never use heating pads, hot water bottles or “electric” socks.

6. Wear supportive, comfortable shoes. Shoes should feel good the day you buy them, not weeks later after they have been worn. Shop for them in the afternoon when your feet are biggest. 7. Sit with legs uncrossed. 8. Don’t wear garters, socks or stockings with tight tops; don’t twist hose around legs to keep them up. Avoid girdles and tight clothes.

Anything wrong with a toe or foot can become a major problem for someone with diabetes. People with diabetes are 15 times more likely to have a foot or lower leg amputation than someone without diabetes. Early treatment can reduce the risk of serious infection or amputation.

9. Avoid sandals or shoes with sling back heels or open toes. They leave the foot open to injury and dryness.

Changing Your 2-Piece Ostomy Pouch

x 11", (tearpads are double-sided, unless indicated otherwise in pads of 50 sheets)

www.p-h.com

A 2-piece pouch system has a skin barrier wafer or flange and a snap-on pouch. You can switch your pouch every 1-3 days. Change your barrier wafer or flange as your WOC (Wound Ostomy Continence) nurse tells you or when you have a leak. As a rule, you should change your barrier every 3-7 days or as the brand maker suggests. If you find a leak or your skin begins to burn or itch, change your barrier right away.

Tips to remember

pouch is before you eat or drink anything for the day. • When changing your pouch,

leave a little air in it to help keep it from sticking to the moist stoma.

If you notice any signs of irritation or infection, call your doctor or WOC nurse right away.

• After changing your pouch, wait

an hour before you shower.

The signs of skin irritation Every time you change your pouch check your stoma and skin for any signs of irritation:

pouch

2. Point the bottom of your pouch into the toilet. Let the stool drain into the toilet. 3. Clean the tail end of the pouch with toilet paper or a baby wipe. 4. If you are concerned about odor, put mouthwash or deodorant into the pouch. 5. Uncuff the bottom of the pouch, close and clamp it. Make sure it is sealed.

If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your ostomy, talk to your doctor or WOC (Wound Ostomy Continence) nurse.

Tips • To make emptying easier, use 1/2 tsp of

mineral oil or spray a little cooking oil into the pouch after you clean it. • Do not stick a pin into your pouch to let gas

out of it. This will break the odor-proof seal. Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc.

Peristomal Skin Care Peristomal skin care Any opening on your skin can make an infection more likely. So, it is important to keep your skin in good condition. That means keeping the skin around your stoma (peristomal skin) clean and healthy.

These signs may include:

Your wafer and pouch must fit well around the stoma to avoid leaks, which can lead to skin problems.

• red or broken area on skin around your stoma

Each time you change your pouch, check the stoma and skin around it for signs of redness or irritation.

• changes in the color or size of your stoma • the skin around your stoma feeling warm to the touch

• rash • burning or stinging of your skin • pain in your abdomen

What to do If you have any signs that the skin around your stoma is irritated, follow these steps: 1. Apply skin barrier powder. Seal in the powder by blotting a sealant in “wipe-on” or spray form, or with a damp cloth. Skin sealants come with and without alcohol. It’s OK to use a skin sealant with alcohol when your skin is clear or only a little red. When your skin is raw or very red use the skin sealant without alcohol to avoid burning your skin, or use a damp cloth.

Repeat these steps (powder then sealant) 1 or 2 times to form a crust if the skin is raw. Make sure the last layer is a sealant—not a powder. Once the crust is dry, apply your pouch barrier. You can use a hair dryer on a low or cool setting to dry your skin.

per patient

3. Call your nurse if your skin has not improved the next time you change your pouch. Your nurse may want you to use some other treatment for skin problems.

Your Ileostomy The digestive system When you eat, food goes from your mouth into your esophagus (food pipe) then into your stomach. In the stomach, food is changed into a liquid. Then the liquid goes to your small intestines. The small intestines absorb (take in) what the body needs. Whatever is left over is passed into your colon (large intestine) as stool or waste. As it passes along the colon, the liquid form becomes firmer. Stool is stored in your colon until you have a bowel movement.

Why an ileostomy? You no longer have a colon because of a diseased area or damage to it. But your body still makes and needs to get rid of stool. To do this, a surgically created opening, called an ileostomy, is made to allow waste to leave your body through the small intestine. Stool from an ileostomy will still be liquid.

• Main unit (called the concentrator)– a machine that takes in air and turns it into almost pure oxygen.

The unit can be set for different amounts of oxygen. This is called the liter flow. Your doctor or nurse will tell you the liter flow to use. DO NOT change the flow unless your doctor tells you to.

• Nasal cannula (nose tube) – a thin, flexible tube with prongs on the end that fit in your nose. • Extension tubing – extra tubing that lets you move farther away from the main unit. • Adapter – attaches the extension tubing to the main unit, if you do not use a humidifier bottle.

My oxygen liter flow is: Your unit may be different from someone else’s. If you have any problems or questions about your unit, call the supply company that you got the unit from.

Optional parts • Humidifier – bottle that adds moisture to the oxygen. • Water trap – collects moisture from the tubing.

earning About Stress

About stress

item 597–Learning About Stress

Stress is the way your body reacts to changes and situations in your life. What stresses you may not stress someone else, but the fact is stress can hurt you. It can cause much more physical harm than you think. And when you are under stress for a long period of time problems may begin.

$10.75 pad of 50 sheets • 5th grade reading level double-sided

What happens? When you are in a stressful situation, your body takes action. It makes hormones that help your body cope with a situation. These hormones: • increase your heart rate

• make you sweat more

• speed up your breathing rate

• make your muscles tense

• increase your blood pressure

• make your pupils dilate

• make you more alert

• slow your digestion

item 599–Stress Management

$15.00 pad of 50 sheets • 5th grade reading level

When the stressful situation is over, your body stops making the hormones. Then your body begins to relax. This stress reaction is good at helping you handle the problem. But when you are always stressed, your body cannot relax. Your heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure and thinking don’t return to normal. And your muscles stay tense. If this continues for a long time, it can lead to health problems. Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc.

Stroke Mapping Out Early Stages of Recovery What is a stroke, intensive care, hospital stay, helping the stroke survivor in bed, understanding your feelings, choosing care after discharge.

Types of stroke: Not all strokes are alike. The type of stroke depends on how it happens:

Embolism Ischemic (too little blood flow): embolism Sometimes the heart or blood vessels in the neck release a blood clot that travels through arteries. Clots can float through big arteries with no problem. If a clot tries to pass through small arteries in the brain, it gets stuck and blocks the flow of blood. This type of stroke is called a cerebral embolism. One type of embolism is a lacunar stroke.

item 186B

$3.85 each • 6th grade reading level

thrombosis Another type of stroke happens when a brain artery clogs up. Fatty buildup (plaque) collects inside an artery wall. As blood flows through the artery, it sticks to the plaque’s rough edges and builds up a clot. Over time, this can build a dam in the artery that stops blood flow. Brain cells on the other side can’t get oxygen and die.

Women be aware:

You may feel any of these when having a stroke: • sudden weakness, numbness or tingling on one side of your body • drooping of your eyelid or mouth on one side of your face • confusion, loss of memory or sudden loss of consciousness • slurred speech, loss of speech or problems understanding simple statements • sudden severe headache for no known reason • trouble staying balanced, sudden falls or feeling dizzy for no known reason • sudden changes in vision—blurring, dimming or loss of sight • nausea and vomiting along with any of the above

Strokes kill twice as many women each year as breast cancer. 61% of those who die from strokes are women, even though more men suffer from strokes. Women over 30 who smoke and take high-estrogen birth control pills have a stroke risk 22 times higher than average.

Did you know. . .? • Strokes kill about 150,000 Americans each year. • Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the largest cause of disability in the United States. • Early treatment can prevent or lessen the damage in 4 out of 5 strokes. • 50% of the people between the ages of 35 and 64 who die of stroke are smokers.

My healthy blood glucose range is

Most of the foods you eat and drink are turned into blood glucose (sugar). When you have diabetes, your body doesn’t control your blood glucose the way it should. Your glucose often gets too high.

before meals: _____ to _____ 2 hours after meals: _____ to _____ at bedtime: _____ to _____

Healthy eating

To keep your diabetes under control, you need to keep your blood glucose in a healthy range. The keys to doing this are:

You don’t have to go on a strange diet because you have diabetes. But you do need to follow a healthy meal plan. A healthy meal plan is very much the same for people with or without diabetes. It will help you keep your blood glucose in a good range. You can create a healthy meal plan by making good choices about what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat.

• choose a healthy meal plan • take your diabetes medicine(s) as prescribed • be physically active • check your blood glucose regularly

Here are some tips to help you make these choices: • Keep track of the carbohydrate foods you eat. • Cut down on fatty foods. • Know the serving sizes of the foods you eat. • Eat regularly. (Skipping meals will make your blood glucose go too low.)

Work with a registered dietitian (RD) to make a meal plan that helps you keep your blood glucose in a healthy range.

Learning About Carbohydrates About carbohydrates Carbohydrates (or carbs) are one of three types of nutrients your body uses for energy. Fats and proteins are the other two. Energy sources are often referred to as calories. Carbs and proteins produce 4 calories per gram. Fats produce 9 calories per gram. Carbohydrates, commonly called sugars and starches, are the main sources of fuel for your body. They are either simple or complex. • Sugars are simple.

• Starches are complex.

No form of sugar is better for you than any other and they all have the same number of calories. We think about sugar as only table sugar (which is sucrose). But there are other forms of sugar: • syrup

ONLY

• fructose (in fruits)

$10.00 each

• honey • lactose (in milk)

• molasses

item 623–Learning About Carbohydrates

As a rule, “starchy” foods have more vitamins, minerals, water and fiber, and they tend to be low in fat. “Sugary” foods, as a rule, do not have these other nutrients, and they tend to have more fat. That is why an orange is better for you than a candy bar. The orange (although a sugar) has other nutrients and very little fat while the candy bar (also a sugar) has few nutrients and a lot of fat. It is the fat in processed foods that adds to your weight. Most of the simple carbs we eat are sugars added to things like sodas, candy bars, donuts and cookies.

$10.75 7th grade reading level

So complex carbohydrates (starches), for the most part, are better in helping you control your weight. The major sources of starches are: • grains—bread, cereal, rice and pasta

• vegetables—potatoes, corn and beans

Learning About Cholesterol in Food About cholesterol Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found in human and animal tissue. It is also found in all the foods you eat that come from animals. Plants (such as fruits, vegetables and soy products) do not contain cholesterol. Although cholesterol does a lot of good things in your body, you do not need to eat cholesterol in food. Your body can make all the cholesterol it needs from the fats you eat. Because of this, most experts now say you should eat less than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day. But, for some, this may be too much. Having too much cholesterol in your diet can lead to high blood cholesterol levels.

Blood cholesterol Blood cholesterol is made up of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol. The bad cholesterol can clog up your arteries by building up within the walls. This narrows your blood vessels and can lead to atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries. Narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow (oxygen and nutrients) to your heart and body. This can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. High blood cholesterol levels are very unsafe when combined with these other risk factors for heart disease: • smoking

artery

• high blood pressure • diabetes

fatty deposits

• obesity • a family history of heart disease

A word about finding breast cancer

Finding it early

In most cases, you have no pain with breast cancer. You may have no symptoms at all. But as breast cells change from normal to abnormal, they grow out of control. Over time they form a lump or tumor.

Breast self exams can be helpful if used along with mammograms and breast exams done by your doctor. So your monthly breast exam is a few minutes well spent.

lump

If a lump is found early (before it spreads to other areas in your body) the chance of removing all the cancer cells is much better. Two ways to check for lumps or other changes in your breast are to: • do a self exam every month

Do your breast check at the same time each month. If you still have menstrual periods, the best time to do a breast check is 2 or 3 days after your period ends. If you don’t have periods, pick a day that will be easy for you to remember (such as the first or last day of the month). These are the things you should look for: • a lump in your breast or armpit • changes to your breast skin like puckering, dimpling or dry, scaly places

• have a clinical exam by your doctor every year If a lump or changes are detected, a mammogram (x-ray of your breast) may be needed. Copyright © 2003-2006 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

Osteoarthritis of the Spine About the disease Osteoarthritis (oss-tee-o-arth-rye-tis) of the spine is a disease that affects the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. Along with the discs between each bone, it helps to absorb the shock that physical activity puts on your spine. It also gives more room for the nerves to run through the spinal cord out to your body. This disease most often affects your neck and lower back.

What happens Osteoarthritis occurs slowly. The cartilage breaks down or wears away over time. This leaves bone on bone. So when you move, turn or bend, the bones vertebrae rub together. This can cause:

disk

At first, you may notice that your back hurts after you do some exercises or physical work. It may be stiff when you first get out of bed in the morning, or when you stand up after sitting for a while. You may have pain in your neck when you turn your head to the left or right or try to look up or down. You may also have weakness, numbness or pain in your arms or legs. This could be from a pinched nerve.

Osteoarthritis of the Hand About the disease Osteoarthritis (oss-tee-o-arth-rye-tis) of the hand is a disease that affects the cartilage covering the ends of the bones in your thumb and fingers. Cartilage is the material that allows the bones in your fingers to glide over each other easily when you bend them. It also absorbs the shock that physical activity puts on your hands. The disease may also develop in a joint that has been injured, overused or damaged by an infection. Women tend to get this disease more often than men. And it seems to run in families.

What happens Osteoarthritis occurs slowly. The cartilage breaks down or wears away over time. The bones rub together causing:

• loss of motion • swelling • deformed joints At first, you may notice that your fingers ache or are stiff or numb. You may have pain when you try to pick up something or even open a jar. Over time, small bony knobs may appear on the last joint of your fingers. These are called Heberden’s nodes. Other knobs, called Bouchard’s nodes may appear on the middle joints of your fingers. Both of these joints may become enlarged and stick out. Many times the base of the thumb joint is also affected.

A metered dose inhaler (MDI) is a small hand-held device that allows your child to breathe in a fine mist of medicine. The inhaler is set to give a premeasured dose of medicine with each puff. Your doctor will tell you how many puffs your child should take.

$9.75 • 5th grade reading level • single-sided

To use an inhaler the right way, your child most likely needs a spacer/holding chamber. This will help him/her get the right amount of medicine from each puff. If your child is 5 or younger, he/she may need to use a mask with the spacer/holding chamber. The doctor, nurse, pharmacist or therapist will show your child how to use the inhaler. Learn the steps on the back of this sheet so you can help your child follow them.

Pediatric Cardiology Teaching Materials Version 1.3 Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) There is a hole between the top two chambers of the heart. The hole can be high, in the middle or low in the wall separating the chambers.

Problem hole between chambers

The hole allows the red and blue blood to mix together. The red blood from the high pressured left side of the heart goes across the hole to the lower pressured right side. This increases the work load of the right side of the heart. Also, red blood goes back to the lungs from the right side of the heart. Over time there can be damage to the lungs from too much blood.

Correction patch

A median sternotomy (chest) incision is used for the ASD repair. In some cases a submammary (beneath the breasts) incision is offered.

Pediatric Cardiology Teaching Materials

The hole is closed with stitches or a patch. Most of the time, the patch is a small piece of the sac that the heart sits in. This sac is called pericardium.

Falling Problems In the U.S., almost one-third of those over age 65 fall each year. Some falls may be so bad that you are no longer mobile (able to get up and walk). Bone fractures, caused by falling, can lead to blood clots, pneumonia or even death.

There may be things around your home that might increase your risk of falling. You may not think about some of these as being a cause: • poorly lit rooms or walkways • pets that walk in front of you • slippery or wet floors • uneven surfaces • electrical cords where you walk • clutter in the floor • throw rugs

The reasons some people fall are because they: • are frail • can’t react quickly • have poor vision or hearing

• are taking medicines which cause

balance or sense of feeling in their legs and feet • have weak muscles • have trouble concentrating

Product # 285

To help yourself, look around your house and see if there are things that might put you at risk. Think about your health and physical fitness. Ask your doctor if any of your medicines could make you clumsy or sleepy. If you have tingling, burning or pain in your legs or feet, tell your doctor. This may be peripheral neuropathy—the loss of feeling due to nerve damage—since about 20% of those over 65 have this condition. Review the prevention tips on the other side. They may help you avoid a fall.

About MRSA

Staph is often found on your skin or in your nose. But, it can also get inside your body and cause an infection.

Staphylococcus aureus (are-e-us) or S. aureus is one type of staph bacteria. S. aureus is most often treated with strong antibiotics – like methicillin (meth-a-sill-in).

Staph causes minor diseases like acne, boils and pimples. Or it can get through your skin and infect your:

But, some germs resist the methicillin so it may not be able to cure the infection. These germs are called MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus). There are very few drugs that can be used to treat MRSA, and most often these have to be given in the hospital.

For healthy people, MRSA most often causes a mild infection of the skin that can be treated. However, for people who are sick or weak, MRSA can be hard-to-treat or life-threatening.

You can also have a staph infection and not know it. It does not make you ill—you just carry it. But you can pass it on to others and make them sick.

$10.75 8th grade reading level

Germs (bacteria) are all around us. Whether they cause illness or not depends on where they live and what poisons they produce. One type is staphylococcus (staff-ah-lo-cock-us) or staph. This is a common germ that lives in people and on their skin.

$7.00 each Medicine Safety and You Health care providers are working to make the health care system safer for you. An important member of that health care team is you. As a member, the best thing you can do is be involved in decisions about your health care. This is the best way you can help prevent medical errors.

Medicine safety tips: Be sure every doctor and nurse you see knows what medicines you take. This would include:

over-the-counter medicine (even aspirin)

Be sure your doctor knows about any allergies or bad reactions you have had to any medicine. It is a good idea to have this written down. That’s in case a family member has to give your doctor and nurse this information. (Poison Control 1-800-222-1222)

vitamins and other supplements

If you are given a prescription, make sure you know:

all prescription medicine

any herbal products Keep a list of your medicines and take it with you when you have a doctor’s appointment. Or take all the medicines with you so you can discuss them with your doctor. He or she may not know the contents in some vitamins, supplements or herbal remedies. Having the actual bottle(s) can give this information.

what it is what it is for (why you take it) how you should take it (with food, etc.) how often to take it how long to take it (use the chart on the back) Be sure you can read the handwriting on the prescription. If you can’t read it, the pharmacist may have a hard time too.

It is best to do these sessions when you are not already coughing and when your mucus is thin enough to be coughed up. See the back of this sheet to learn how to do controlled coughing. Always do it after taking your inhaled bronchodilator.

Fluids

Check for infection

Thick, sticky mucus can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, hacking coughs and infection. To keep mucus thin, drink lots of water or other caffeine-free fluids each day. For most people, this means drinking 8–16 cups of water or other fluids a day.

• When you cough up mucus, spit it into a tissue, and check the color. If it is yellow or green, you may have an infection.

• The mucus you cough up is filled with bacteria. Use tissues to catch it. Wash your hands after you throw away the tissues.

Pursed lip breathing How it helps When you have COPD, your lungs are better at bringing air in than letting it out. This causes stale air to get trapped in your lungs so you can’t take a deep breath. This can make you short of breath or cause tightness in your chest. When you are having trouble taking breaths, breathing faster will not help. Pursed lip breathing will help because it slows down your breathing to let your damaged lungs work better.

How to do it

Step #1 Breathe in

When you find it hard to breathe, follow these steps: 1. Breathe in (inhale) slowly through your nose for 2 counts. 2. Purse your lips as if you were going to whistle. 3. Breathe out (exhale) gently through your pursed lips for 4 slow counts. (Exhale twice as slowly as you inhale.) Let the air escape naturally. Step #3 Don’t force the air out of your lungs. Breathe out 4. Keep doing pursed lip breathing until you are not short of breath.

acts About Tobacco Use Tobacco use is the #1 preventable cause of death and disability in the world. Each year, more than 400,000 adults die from tobacco-related diseases.

icotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) (NRT) Tobacco use is the #1 preventable cause of death and disability in the world. If you are like many others, you most likely want to quit using it. But, quitting is easier said than done. All tobacco products contain nicotine, an addictive drug. You may need help in “giving up” nicotine. If so, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) may help. This uses one or more aids to help you stop using tobacco.

Nicotine - the drug Nicotine (a drug found in tobacco products) is highly addictive. It is absorbed quickly in the lungs from tobacco smoke. It is also absorbed quickly when tobacco is chewed.

Nic o Patti Ni c Pa otin tc e h

When it is used all the time, levels of nicotine add up in your body during the day and stay overnight. So you feel the effects of nicotine 24 hours a day. When you take nicotine in your body by smoking or chewing tobacco, you get a quick “kick”. This “kick” is caused by your body’s release of a hormone that causes a sudden release of glucose (sugar). It is then followed by depression and fatigue, which make you crave more nicotine. A vicious cycle occurs.

Talk with your doctor about NRT. Some aids can be bought without a prescription, but some require one. There are some medicines that may interact with a nicotine aid and cause worse problems for you. Your doctor knows your medical history and can help you decide which aid is best for you to use.

Nicotine in tobacco products can make you sick. It makes your heart beat faster, increases your breathing rate and blood pressure and causes your body to use more oxygen. Copyright © 2002-2009 Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. DO NOT DUPLICATE.

In large amounts, drugs like nicotine, heroin and cocaine are poisons. For example, nicotine has been used to kill insects.

our Quit Plan

nderstanding Nicotine Withdrawal

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. It is much like cocaine or heroin in that respect. So, “giving up” nicotine can be hard. But, the more you know about withdrawal, recovery and relapses, the easier it might be for you to “kick the habit.”

Giving up tobacco is not easy. The nicotine in cigarettes and other tobacco products is addictive. When you use tobacco, your body thinks it needs nicotine and it becomes habit forming. Giving up tobacco means making a plan and sticking to it.

Plan before you quit There are different methods you can use to quit using tobacco: • quit “cold turkey” (all at once) • tapering off (using less and less tobacco over a period of time) • Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) (using aids to help you give up tobacco) Talk with your doctor or nurse about which method of quitting would be best for you.

No matter which method you use, you need to make a plan to quit. In it, you should: • set a quit date • plan to use aids if you need them (ask your doctor about these) • expect that withdrawal symptoms and relapses can happen

Product # 472

(item 472)

Recovery is getting past withdrawal. The longer you have used tobacco and the more you use it each day, the harder it may be for you to “kick the habit”.

Cravings and emotional distress can occur. And you may have one or more of these:

Being honest about why you use tobacco can tell you what you need to work on for recovery. For example, do you use tobacco: • to get you going in the morning and give you a boost during the day?

• anger • irritability

• talk with family and friends to help you through the tough times

• because you like the feel of holding a cigarette or cigar?

• tension • anxiety

• to relax and feel good?

• restless feelings

• for stress relief?

• trouble concentrating

Change your routine

• because you are hooked and can’t seem to quit?

• insomnia (not able to sleep)

Your daily habits may be a big part of your tobacco addiction. All these have something to do with why you use tobacco:

Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc.

• when you use it

• people you spend time with

• certain situations (stressful times, etc.)

• what you eat or drink

Recovery

Nicotine has a powerful effect on your body and your brain. So, when it is taken away, it can cause changes in your brain’s chemistry. This is called withdrawal.

• depression

So when you make your plan to quit, plan to change your routine too. It will be a change for the better.

Withdrawal

• strong cravings for tobacco

• find healthy things to do instead of using tobacco

• have a way to reward yourself for each day you succeed

You may not be able to use NRT if you have any of these:

Nicotine - the addiction Being addicted to nicotine causes withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop using it. It is much the same as cocaine and other addictive drugs.

The goal of NRT is to help you give up tobacco use slowly over time. It helps you deal with withdrawal and nicotine cravings. Most of the aids give you a small amount of nicotine to help you taper off. As a result, you should not use tobacco when you are using NRT.

Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc. Atlanta, GA 800-241-4925 Providing Quality Health Education Materials Since 1973

• increased hunger leading to weight gain

• and don’t even realize you are doing it?

Withdrawal may be harder for some than others. No one really knows why. Everyone is different.

Think about why you use tobacco. Then, try to replace that reason with a healthier choice.

Cómo supervisar la glucosa en su sangre

La autosupervisión es la mejor manera de decir si su diabetes está bajo control. Si usted tiene demasiada o muy poca glucosa (azúcar) en la sangre, es posible que su médico necesite cambiarle su plan alimenticio, de ejercicios o de medicina(s).

Para efectuar la autosupervisión, usted necesita un medidor de glucosa en la sangre, un dispositivo con lanceta y una franja de prueba. Pregúntele a su médico o educador de la diabetes cuál medidor es mejor para usted y cómo conseguir estos materiales. Existen varios paquetes de autosupervisión en el mercado. Cuando usted consiga su paquete, lea las direcciones antes de usarlo. Cada paquete es un poco diferente. Cuando esté listo para hacerse la prueba, siga estos pasos básicos.

Cuándo hacer la supervisión

2. Frótese el dedo que va a usar un par de veces para hacerle llegar más sangre. 3. Pínchese a un lado de la punta del dedo con la lanceta para obtener una gota de sangre. Exprima una gota lo suficientemente grande para cubrir el área de la franja que va a examinar. (Use una nueva lanceta cada vez que se haga el examen.) 4. Siga las instrucciones que vienen con el medidor de glucosa en la sangre. Esto le permitirá obtener resultados exactos. 5. Lea los resultados y éntrelos en el registro de glucosa en la sangre que usted lleva junto con la fecha y la hora.

El margen saludable de glucosa en mi sangre es antes de las comidas: _____ a _____ 2 horas después de las comidas: _____ a _____ a la hora de acostarse: _____ a _____

6. Cerciórese de desechar la lanceta en un lugar donde no se corran riesgos. Pregúntele a su médico o departamento de salud pública cómo hacerlo.

Sin ellos, la glucosa en su sangre bajará demasiado y usted no tendrá energía. Pero tener demasiados carbohidratos en un momento dado puede hacer subir demasiado la glucosa en su sangre. • Muchos carbohidratos provienen de los siguientes alimentos: el pan, las comidas con almidón, los cereales, las frutas, la leche y el yogur.

• No importa de qué comidas vienen, todos los carbohidratos se convierten en glucosa. Esto significa que todos los carbohidratos (no solamente el azúcar) elevan el nivel de glucosa en la sangre. • Comer la cantidad apropiada de carbohidratos le ayudará a controlar la diabetes.

Chlamydia

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)*

Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the U.S. Three million new cases occur each year. It is caused by bacteria (germs). The bacteria can get into the moist linings of the body (like the penis, vagina, throat and rectum) during sexual activity. Sexual activity includes all forms of having sex (vaginal, oral and anal). The more people you have sex with, the more likely you are to get the germs. A chlamydia infection can increase your risk for getting HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) and other STDs.

• scarring of the reproductive organs in women • infertility (prevents people from having children) * STDs are also called STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections)
