Pathophysiology week 1 Discussion

 

Scenario: 

An 83-year-old resident of a skilled nursing facility presents to the emergency department with generalized edema of extremities and abdomen. History obtained from staff reveals the patient has a history of malabsorption syndrome and difficulty eating due to a lack of dentures. The patient has been diagnosed with protein malnutrition.

The role genetics plays in the disease.

  • Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
  • The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
  • The cells that are involved in this process.
  • How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

What might be a characteristic influencing your response?

The scenario reflects this to be an unidentified race, so if this patient was African American would this create characteristics influenced by race? It may or may not just support your point with a citation. 

In this elderly female, there are several contributing factors for her presenting with these symptoms.

If you do not find any genetic factors contributing, provide a citation supporting this. As a student, be sure to support your points until you become the expert.

Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease

PICOT

Week 2: Problem Identification and Description Using PICOT Format

i. Identify and describe the problem in clear and concise language. To help you

think about what problem you might choose, keep in mind the health or nursing

problems of the patient population(s) you currently serve, those you encountered

in your clinical courses, or those you plan to work with in the future.

• Describe the clinical setting.

• Describe the service area for the clinic and population groups who attend the

clinic services.

• What kinds of problems do you see in the clinic?

ii. Give a clear, explicit statement of the problem and target population, as well as

the background of the specific problem relative to the clinical setting.

• Is it broad enough that you can analyze it from many theoretical and conceptual

points of view and make suitable plans to address the problem from a number of

perspectives?

• Is it of enough interest to you that you are willing to spend most of the semester

thinking about it, assessing all its dimensions, planning in detail how to address

it, and designing a detailed intervention and evaluation plan?

iii. Describe the significance of the evidence-based project that could be
implemented in the selected setting to the nursing profession. Ask yourself why it
is important to you. Consider your own clinical interest.

• Describe clinical observations that point out the knowledge gap, clinical gap, etc.
• Describe the significant research in the area that has been done that delineates

the gap in our knowledge.

Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
You must reference a minimum of 3 scholarly sources in your paper.

Use the current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.
