Cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic

Week 4 Case Study Guidance
Hello All:

Here are some tips to help guide you as you work on the case study for week 4. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I hope your find this helpful.

Dr. Brandburg

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.
Be sure you discuss each symptom presented by explaining the patho process in detail at the cell level. McCance is a very helpful resource here. The focus here should be on asthma.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
Childhood asthma has racial/ethical variables that increase the risk for asthma and poor health outcomes. Be sure to cover genetics and epigenetics, including any social determinants of health here. Explain how these are risk factors for asthma and/or poor control of asthma. Some of this may be found in McCance, but you need outside references here.
How these processes interact to affect the patient.
Here is where you put it all together and discuss a holistic view of how all of this affects the patient. You should discuss potential complications of poorly control asthma and how it could impact this 11-year-old patient in daily life. Think about any long-term consequences as well. Again outside references apart from McCance will be needed.

Scenario 3: 11-year-old boy complains of wheezing and difficulty “getting enough air.” Notices it more when he is playing baseball and symptoms improve when exercise activity stops. He says that the symptoms are getting worse and the symptoms are even occurring at rest. Mother says the child is allergic to cat dander and his next-door neighbor in their apartment building recently began sheltering cats for the local humane society. Auscultation demonstrates wheezes on forced expiration throughout all lung fields.

SAMPLE SOLUTION

Asthma is described as a chronic inflammatory condition of the airway as well as bronchial mucosa which is characterized by the obstructions of the airway, wheezing and the tightening of the chest. The condition is stimulated by triggers like irritants, stress, exercise and | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | affects more than 7.2 million Americans with higher prevalence rates for the children aged 5-15 hence presenting a remarkable challenge for the healthcare system (Bardin et al., 2017). This task presents the cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiological processes associated with asthma. The role of ethnic/racial variables regarding the condition will | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiologic Processes Linked with the | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | process of asthma is complicated as it is linked to various triggers. The condition is hypersensitive to triggers like the cat dander, pollen, exercise among others. When a susceptible patient is exposed to these triggers, there is an inflammatory process along the bronchi leading to the release of significant number of cells like the mast cells, the neutrophils, B lymphocytes and the T helper cells.
