An 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.
An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in
cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in the
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.
Case Study:
45-year-old woman presents with a chief complaint of 3-day
duration of shortness of breath, cough with thick green sputum
production, and fevers. Patient has a history of COPD with a
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 a flattened diaphragm and an
increased AP diameter. Auscultation demonstrates hyper
resonance and coarse rales and rhonchi throughout all lung
fields.
Assignment 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.
