Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disorders Assignment

In this exercise, you will complete a 10 question Knowledge Check to gauge your understanding of this module’s content. This Knowledge Check will give you an opportunity to review a given scenario or situation to help you to determine cause and effect of a given disorder from a pathophysiology perspective.

Possible topics covered in this Knowledge Check include:,

· myocardial infarction

· endocarditis

· myocarditis

· valvular disorders

· lipid panels

· coagulation

· clotting cascade

· deep vein thrombosis

· hypertension

· heart failure

· COPD

· asthma

· pneumonias

At least 2 to 3paragraphs

Scenario 1: Myocardial Infarction

CC: “I have been having terrible chest and arm pain for the past 2 hours and I think I am having a heart attach.”

HPI: Mr. Hammond is a 57 year old African American male who presents to the Emergency Department with a chief complaint of chest pain that radiates down his left arm. He states that he started having pain several hours ago and says the pain “it feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest”. He rates the pain as 8/10. Nothing has made the pain better or worse. He denies any previous episodes of chest pain. Denies nausea, dyspnea, or light headedness. He was given 0.4mg nitroglycerine tablet sublingual x1 which decreased, but no stopped the pain.

Lipid panel reveals Total Cholesterol 324 mg/dl, high density lipoprotein (HDL) 31 mg/dl, Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) 54 mg/dl nitroglycerine tablet sublingual x1 which decreased, but not stopped the pain.

Lipid Panel reveals total cholesterol 324 mg/dl, high density lipoprotein (HDL) 31 mg/dl, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) 122 mg/dl, Triglycerides 402 mg/dl, very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) 54 mg/dl

His diagnosis is an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction.

Scenario 2 and 3 will be posted tomorrow. One after the other. They are 10 scenarios in total. We must be done with all 10 scenarios by Friday. Thanks.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
