Step 1

Step 1: Explain that because the client had an ischemic stroke, the nicotine patch must be approved by the prescriber — nicotine can raise heart rate and blood pressure and the clinician must confirm it is safe to start NRT now.  Show more…

Tobacco dependence is a chronic, relapsing condition driven by addiction to nicotine. But cessation treatment can help people quit. The 2020 Surgeon General's Report highlights the latest evidence on the benefits of smoking cessation. The evidence is clear - one of the most important actions people can take to improve their health is to quit smoking, no matter how old they are or how long they've been smoking. Smoking cessation reduces the risk of premature death, improves health, and enhances the quality of life. Quitting can add as much as a decade to life expectancy. It also reduces the risk for many adverse health effects, including poor reproductive health outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and 12 types of cancer. Smoking cessation benefits people already diagnosed with coronary heart disease or COPD. It also benefits the health of pregnant women and that of their fetuses and babies. Additionally, it reduces the financial burden of smoking on people who smoke, healthcare systems, and society. Question: What role do healthcare providers and healthcare systems have in smoking cessation? Are e-cigarettes and vaping safer than traditional cigarette smoking? Explain the argument. What is one physiological reasoning that smoking increases cardiorespiratory or other health dangers? Reference: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2020, February 24).
