NURS6501 Week 4: Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

NURS6501 Week 4: Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems NURS6501 Week 4: Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems Module 2: Case Study Analysis Assignment : Scenario: A 65-year-old patient is 8 days post op after a total knee replacement. Patient suddenly complains of shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, and palpitations. On arrival to the emergency department, an EKG revealed new onset atrial fibrillation and right ventricular strain pattern – T wave inversions in the right precordial leads (V1-4) ± the inferior leads (II, III, aVF). ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Cardiovascular and respiratory disorders can quickly become dangerous healthcare matters, and they routinely land among the leading causes of hospital admissions. Disorders in these areas are complicated by the fact that these two systems work so closely as contributors to overall health. APRNs working to form a similarly close partnership with patients must demonstrate not only support and compassion, but expertise to guide the understanding of diagnoses and treatment plans. This includes an understanding of patient medical backgrounds, relevant characteristics, and other variables that can be factors in their diagnoses and treatments. This 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 Objectives Students will: Analyze processes related to cardiovascular and respiratory disorders Analyze alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and the resultant disease processes Analyze racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning Evaluate the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology NURS6501 Week 4: Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems Learning Resources Required Readings (click to expand/reduce) McCance, K.

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.com An 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 following The 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. By Day 7 of Week 4 Submit your Case Study Analysis Assignment by Day 7 of Week 4 Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates ). All papers submitted must use this formatting.
