Module 2 Assignment: Case Study AnalysisAn understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together. A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other.Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.Photo Credit: yodiyim – stock.adobe.comAn understanding of the symptoms of alterations in cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.To prepare:By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study scenario for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the followingThe cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.How these processes interact to affect the patient.Learning ResourcesRequired Readings (click to expand/reduce)McCance, K.

Patient has history of COPD with chronic cough but states the cough has gotten much worse and is interfering with her sleep. Sputum is thicker and harder for her to expectorate. CXR reveals flattened diaphragm and increased AP diameter. Auscultation demonstrates hyper resonance and coarse rales and rhonchi throughout all lung fields. Posted by: Tanya AusburnPosted to: NURS-6501C-22/NURS-6501N-22-Advanced Pathophysiology2020 Winter Qtr 11/30-02/21-PT27WEEK #4Posted on: Sunday, December 20, 2020 12:00:00 AM ESTThis week, you examine alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and the resultant disease processes. You also consider patient characteristics, including racial and ethnic variables, and the impact they have on altered physiology.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Analyze processes related to cardiovascular and respiratory disordersAnalyze alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and the resultant disease processesAnalyze racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioningEvaluate the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiologyNote: The above article was first presented in the Week 3 resources.
