Please find your Week Ten Case Study noted below:

Scenario 4: A 14-year-old female is brought to the urgent care by her mother, who states that the girl has had an abnormal number of bruises and “funny looking red splotches” on her legs. These bruises were first noticed about 2 weeks ago and are not related to trauma. PMH not remarkable and she takes no medications. The mother does state the girl is recovering from a “bad case of mono” and was on bedrest at home for the past 3 weeks. The girl noticed that her gums were slightly bleeding when she brushed her teeth that morning. NURS 6501 Pathophysiology Case Study

Labs at urgent care demonstrated normal hgb and hct with normal WBC differential. Platelet count of 100,000/mm3 was the only abnormal finding. The staff also noticed that the venipuncture site oozed for a few minutes after pressure was released. The doctor at urgent care referred the patient and her mother to the ED for a complete work-up of the low platelet count, including a peripheral blood smear for suspected immune thrombocytopenia purpura.

Module 7 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

For the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in these fields, an awareness of the variables affecting both women’s and men’s health, infections, and hematologic disorders can be extremely significant. The fact that various illnesses and disorders present themselves differently depending on the patient’s sex emphasizes the significance of this. NURS 6501 Pathophysiology Case Study

Effective illness analysis frequently calls for knowledge that transcends the associated human systems. Along with racial and ethnic factors, patient features can have a significant influence.

A crucial step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases is an understanding of the symptoms of system changes based on these traits. This knowledge can aid APRNs in educating patients and assisting them as they follow their treatment programs.

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.
