Pathogenesis Of Rheumatic Fever
The exact mechanism of GAS pharyngitis causing RF is still unexplained. It may be an exaggerated autoimmune response of the host to GAS pharyngitis. The clinical manifestation and severity of RF/RHD in an individual depends on the virulence of the infecting organism, host susceptibility, and environmental factors (Figure 1). The Organism (Group A Streptococcus Pyogenes)…

Introduction Of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Immune Globulin
Respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin (RSV-IGIV (RespiGamTM) contains a sixfold higher concentration of RSV neutralizing antibodies than does standard immunoglobulin preparations.

Ms. Julia Jones, a 68-year-old African American woman, has just been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma. Her ophthalmologist has explained the pathophysiology of the disease to her and is trying to select the best treatment option for her. You are the nurse working with the ophthalmologist, and Ms. Jones has asked you about the eye drops the doctor has recommended. Mrs. Jones’s physician has recommended Combigan, one drop in the right eye every 12 hours. Your client has never administered eye drops, and she does not know anything about the medication her ophthalmologist has prescribed. She is interested in how the medication works, the side effects, how it is administered, and why it is so important in the treatment of her glaucoma. Develop a nursing care plan using a template directly after these instructions to address Ms. Julia Jones’s concerns. For this assignment, include the following: assessment and data collection (including disease process, common labwork/diagnostics, subjective, objective, and health history data), three NANDA-I approved nursing diagnosis, one SMART goal for each nursing diagnosis, and two nursing interventions with rationale for each SMART goal for a client with a sensory perception disorder (glaucoma).

We’ll write everything from scratch Question Case Study Analysis – Congestive Heart Failure Understanding the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together. A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can affect the performance of the other. Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact. Understanding the symptoms of alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in diagnosing and treating 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 the 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 scenario for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor. The Assignment In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following. The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms. Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning. How do these processes interact to affect the patient? Module 2 Assignment Scenario: A 76-year-old female patient complains of weight gain, shortness of breath, peripheral edema, and abdominal swelling. She has a history of congestive heart failure and admits to not taking her diuretic, as it makes her “have to get up every couple hours to go to the bathroom.” She now has to sleep on two pillows in order to get enough air. Please do a 1- to 2-page case study analysis. In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms, any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning, and how these processes interact to affect the patient.
Case Study Analysis – Congestive Heart Failure From the case study, the patient reported weight gain, shortness of breath, peripheral edema, and abdominal swelling. These symptoms the patient is experiencing are associated with cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular pathophysiologic processes due to congestive heart failure diagnosis. Congestive heart failure is a clinical syndrome whereby the heart is…
