Marymount University NURS6501 5 Weeks The Pathophysiology of Disorders
You have studied the neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological bodily systems during the last five weeks. These four systems collaborate with other bodily systems to carry out a variety of tasks. Because of this, when diseases arise in one physiological system, they may have potentially disastrous implications on the rest of the body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is classified as a central nervous system ailment, but its effects also extend to the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. In this assignment, you look at the changes brought on by illnesses and how they affect different bodily systems. Marymount University NURS6501 5 Weeks The Pathophysiology of Disorders
To Prepare
- From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Asthma in children
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Congestive heart failure
- Hepatic disease (liver disease)
- Hypertension
- Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
- Seizures
- Sepsis
- Identify alterations associated with your selected disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. Think about how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems.
- Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
- 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 a mind map for the disorder you selected. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of your selected disorder.
To Complete
Develop 10 -slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
- Describe your selected disorder, as well as associated alterations. Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes that occur in at least two body systems.
- Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.
- Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder.
