Common internal diseases include respiratory system diseases such as bronchitis and asthma, digestive system diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer, cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and endocrine system diseases such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism. The following points should be noted in the care of these diseases:
1. Patients with respiratory diseases should maintain fresh indoor air and avoid irritating gases.
2. Patients with digestive system diseases should pay attention to food hygiene and avoid irritating foods.
3. Patients with cardiovascular diseases should maintain emotional stability and undergo regular electrocardiogram (ECG) examinations.
4. Patients with endocrine system diseases should regularly monitor relevant hormone levels and adjust medication dosages according to medical advice.
Close observation of changes in the patient's condition and timely intervention are essential during the nursing process.
