Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of
Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical
conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school,
returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went
outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance
took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead
(Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese,
who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and
ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t
breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and
was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These
situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing
symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well
as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening
symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced
by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to
help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate
treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the
pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute
asthma exacerbation.
To prepare:
Review “Asthma” in Chapter 26 of the Huether and McCance
text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic
asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these
disorders are similar and different.
Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in
this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or
behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact
the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you
would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a
patient based on the factor you selected.
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 two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one
for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and
clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma
exacerbation.
To complete:
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma
and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes
in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.
Explain how the factor you selected might impact the
pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would
diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the
factor you selected.
Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for
acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology,
pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the
diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley .docx

  • 1. Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To prepare: Review “Asthma” in Chapter 26 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different. Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. 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 two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one
  • 2. for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To complete: Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected. Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.
