NURS6501 Week 2 Module 1 Assignment Case Study Analysis

Week 2 Module 1: Case Study Analysis Assignment: This is the case for next week’s assignment:

An individual, 42, presents to the clinic with the primary complaint of discomfort, redness, and edema in his right leg. He claims that as he was using a string trimmer to work in his yard, the trimmer slipped and injured his leg. He used the yard hose to disinfect the wound before bandaging it up with a big Band-Aid. A few days later, he had chills, a fever of 100.6 F, and saw that his leg was swollen and red. He seeks final treatment in the emergency room. NURS6501 Week 2 Module 1 Assignment Case Study Analysis

An understanding of cells and cell behavior is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. But some diseases can be complex in nature, with a variety of factors and circumstances impacting their emergence and severity.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond isolated cell behavior. Genes, the environments in which cell processes operate, the impact of patient characteristics, and racial and ethnic variables all can have an important impact.

An understanding of the signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes 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 cell, gene, and/or process elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

To prepare:

By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
