Overview
Pathophysiology is a topic that is studied by most hea
lth
care professional students
—
including nursing, medicine, and other allied health professionals.
Increasingly, this study has been enriched and
enhanced through the use of various patient care technologies. Pathophysiology is defined as the study of the
disturbance of normal mechanical, physical, and biochemical functi
ons, either caused by a disease
or resulting from an abnormal syndrome or condit
ion that may
not qualify to be called a disease. Pathophysiology may also be thought of as the study of the biological and physical manife
stations of disease as they correlate
with the underlying abnormalities and physiological disturbances. It is critical
ly important for nurses to understand and be able to assess common health
challenges or diseases.
The final project for this course will require you to choose a well
–
known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, w
ho has a
known physiological disease or illness of interest, and analyze that person’s case. You will then develop a plan of care usin
g aspects of the nursing process for
your selected case.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:

Differentiate between normal physiological processes and pathological presentations of adult health states for promoting heal
th and preventing disease

Assess the role of patient care technologies in managing and promoting patient outcomes
in individuals with chronic diseases and acute illnesses

Explain the pathological processes of adult diseases and illnesses for guiding risk
–
reduction and prevention strategies

Develop plans of care for adult diseases and illnesses
that utilize current evidence
–
based research
Prompt
You will choose a well
–
known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, who has a known physiological
—
as opposed to
psychiatric or psychological
—
disease or illness,
and
,
using a systematic approach, you will analyze that disease or illness. You will also develop a plan of care for
that disease or illness.
In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical
explanations for variations in findings (when
applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collective
ly for system analysis.
Your plan of care should utilize the P
IE
(planning, interve
ntion, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include
at least two short
–
term and two
long
–
term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypotheti
cal target date or time
. The
intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals an
d
that
are specific in action and
frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual
goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should
include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based o
n those measures.
Specifically, the following
critical
elements
must be addressed:
I.
Introduce
your selected case
a)
Identify
the in
dividual you selected and his or
her disease or illness, and provide a brief explanation of why you selected this case.
b)
Describe
how normal physiology is changed by the disease stat
e for your selected case.
c)
Define
the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations ass
ociated with your selected case
and how they may be explained by altered physiology.
Be sure to support your claims with scholarly evidence.
d)
Assess
the extent to which clinical manifestations of your selected case affect multiple body systems, using scholarly evidence to s
upport your
claims.
II.
History
of selected case
a)
Describe historical
variations
(that is, examples
of individuals
with the selected disease or illness)
of your selected case
,
using evidence from
literature.
b)
Identify physiological
stressors
(i.e., how the body responds to stress or a disease)
that may affect the course of the disease or illness
,
and expla
in
their impact.
c)
Identify adaptive
physiological
mechanisms
(i.e., how the human body reacts or compensates to the insults of the disease or condition)
that may
affect the course of the disease for your selected case.
d)
Assess the historical
impact
of patient care technologies on patient outcomes for your selected case. Be sure to justify your claims with scholarly
evidence.
III.
Planning
for care for your selected case
a)
Write a goal
statement
that is patient
–
cent
ered and contains
at least one measurable criterion
or target date/time. In order to address this
element comprehensively, you should be sure to provide at least two
short
–
term and
two long
–
term goals for your selected case.
b)
Analyze the critic
al nursing
concerns
associated with this disease state, and prioritize
them from a treatment standpoint.
c)
Identify patient care
technologies
that are appropriate for managing clinical manifestations of your selected case.
IV.
Interven
tion
a)
Outline appropriate
nursing
interventions for your selected case. Be sure to substantiate your claims with scholarly evidence.
b)
Outline common classes of
medications
used to manage the disease. Be sure to provide examples from scholarly ev
idence to support your
claims.
c)
Assess
the extent to which current patient care technologies improve health promotion for your selected case, using scholarly eviden
ce to
support your claims.
d)
Assess the
extent
to which current patient care technologies assist in decreasing medication errors and improving patient safety with regard to
your selected case.
V.
Evaluation
a)
Identify
the most appropriate measures for determining the success of your plan of ca
re. In other words, what data will you need to collect to
determine if your plan worked? Be sure to substantiate your claims with scholarly evidence.
