The Pathophysiology of Disorders

/in /by


During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body  systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological.  These four systems work together along with other body systems to  complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur  within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects  throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a  disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually  affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system to the  gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations  associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on  multiple body systems.

                                            To Prepare

From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:                   

Alzheimer’s disease

Asthma in children

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Congestive heart failure

Hepatic disease (liver disease)

Hypertension

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism

Seizures

Sepsis

Identify alterations associated with your selected  disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. 

Think about  how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two  body systems.

Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics,  gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of  the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment  of your selected disorder. 

Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and  Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning  Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind  map for the disorder you selected. 

Consider the epidemiology and  clinical presentation of your selected disorder.

                                        To Complete

Develop a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

Describe your selected disorder, as well as  associated alterations. Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations,  including changes that occur in at least two body systems.

Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and  behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you  identified, as well as diagnosis and treatment of your selected  disorder.

Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected.  Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors,  and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the  disorder.

Framework and a plan to maintain wellness and to stay motivated and engaged throughout your Program

/in /by

  The purpose of developing this Plan is to set a framework and a plan to maintain wellness and to stay motivated and engaged throughout your Program. Doing this will help you achieve success during your coursework and as a professional nurse. 

The goal of the Project is to help you become self-aware and reflective as a means of identifying personal self-care strategies that will increase your energy and help you manage your stress. The Project will give you a chance to learn how this is accomplished as you will be doing similar work with clients during the Program and as a professional nurse to assist them in the same way.

  1. Re-look at your Quality of Life Self-Care Wheel scores. Have they changed? If so, in what ways.
  2. Think about your current levels of tension and stress. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest level, what is your score? Now think about the strategies you identified.

Discussion Prompt [Due Wednesday]

Please use reputable resources such as peer-reviewed journal articles to support your rationale. Respond to a peer who selected one of the options you did not choose or whose answer differed from yours and explore whether or not your approach would be different given this new information and insight.

Case study:

Martha Miller is a 32-year-old, African American single mother living in a midsize city. She has three children from previous relationships. Her partner is Mick, a 38-year-old White man who lives with her, and who is unemployed. Although he is actively looking for a job, he has not worked in more than a year. Her oldest child is 8 years of age, she has a 4-year-old, and her youngest is 17 months. She works as a hotel housekeeper from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and at a fast-food restaurant from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. She has limited time home with her children, only seeing them briefly after her first job, and then again in the morning before work. Her partner helps with the cooking and childcare. She is overweight with a body mass index of 32, has mild hypertension, and had a second A1c level of 6.4 for which you prescribed Metformin 500 mg twice a day during her last clinic visit 6 months ago. At that visit, she saw a dietitian for dietary counseling, and you spoke with her about developing a plan to get 150 minutes of exercise weekly.

She has not been back to see you despite repeated calls to her cell phone, a number that changes about every 8 to 10 months. She finally came into clinic last week, and you have determined that she is 20 weeks pregnant. You are concerned about the effectiveness of her medication, her very stressful life, and lack of follow-up as problems that can affect her health and that of her baby.

Select one of the options below and discuss the ways in which this conditions/social problem might increase her health risks?

  1. The effects of income inequality on her health and ability to be an active participant in her care.
  2. Racial discrimination she may experience related to her romantic relationship.
  3. Health disparities she may experience related to her pregnancy, such as the risk for preterm labor and the high rate of infant mortality in low-income women.
  4. She is not at risk for any of these problems. She just has not been taking very good care of herself, but now that she’s in clinic, you are less concerned.

/in /by

Instructions

In our work and personal lives, we need to be able to identify and analyze effective verbal and nonverbal communication in various situations. In the same way that you would analyze a work or personal life communication situation, you will be asked to create a short presentation (using media choices below) about the nonverbal communication demonstrated in a series of photographs. In addition to identifying aspects of nonverbal communication, you will also need to show how these elements can affect communication both positive and negatively. Include your observations of how nonverbal elements that you see alter the direction of communication.

  1. Select four of included photographs.
  2. Using either PowerPoint or Prezi, create a presentation that demonstrates your comprehension regarding these communication elements: Please include the following:
    1. A title slide including your name.
    2. Four slides that explain aspects of the nonverbal communication that you see depicted in the photographs. Be sure to include the photograph on the slide. Be as specific and detailed as possible in your description of body language, facial expression, physical distance (if applicable), gesture, and other aspects of nonverbal communication that you see.
  3. Using Screencast-o-matic (screencast-o-matic.com) or similar software, create a short video presentation of your PowerPoint or Prezi. Explain in detail the nonverbal elements of communication that you observe in each of the four photographs you have selected. Video should be between four and seven minutes long. This video should either be of the presentation itself or a hybrid video that includes both the presentation and an inset webcam video.
  4. Upload your video to screencast-o-matic, YouTube, or similar online video sharing site and provide a link to your video. Include your PowerPoint or Prezi with your submission.
