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.
