Pulmonary Pathophysiological Assessment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to apply pulmonary pathophysiological concepts to explain the assessment findings of a patient with respiratory disease. Students will examine all aspects of the patient’s assessment including: Chief Complaint (CC), History of Present Illness (HPI), Past Medical History (PMH), Family History (FH), Social History (SH), Review of Systems (ROS), and Medications and then answer the questions that follow on the provided Comprehensive Case Study template.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

Examine the case scenario and analyze the spirometry results to determine the most likely respiratory diagnosis. (CO1)
Explain the pathophysiology of the respiratory disease. (CO1)
Differentiate between subjective and objective findings which support the chosen diagnosis. (CO4)
Apply evidence-based practice guidelines to classify the severity of the respiratory disorder and employ an appropriate treatment plan. (CO1, CO5)

Pulmonary Pathophysiological Assessment

Proper APA format (in-text citations, reference page, spelling, English language, and grammar) must be used.

Case Study Scenario

Chief Complaint
A.C., is a 61-year old male with complaints of shortness of breath.

History of Present Illness

A.C. was seen in the emergency room 1 week ago for an acute onset of mid-sternal chest pain. The event was preceded with complaints of fatigue and increasing dyspnea for 3 months, for which he did not seek care. He was evaluated by cardiology and underwent a successful and uneventful angioplasty prior to discharge. Despite the intervention, the shortness of breath has not improved. Since starting cardiac rehabilitation, he feels that his breathlessness is worse. The cardiologist has requested that you, his primary care provider, evaluate him for further work-up. Prior to today, his last visit with your practice was 3 years ago when he was seen for acute bronchitis and smoking cessation counseling.

Simco Limited Calculate the full absorption costs, % mark up and profit margin for each of the three products. Use the annual capacity as the denominator for the fixed costs allocation. (20 marks) (b) There is insufficient production capacity to meet all the annual demand, so in order to make the highest profit, the sales manager suggests that the products with the highest % mark-up should be produced first, followed by the next highest £ mark-up and so on. Using appropriate calculation, explain to the sales manager whether this would result in the best use of the productive capacity and thus the highest profit for the company. Include in your answer calculations of total manufacturing profit. (50 marks).

Business Communication As you read in your textbook, the first step in crafting an effective business communication is planning. As part of your planning, you’ll want to complete the AIM process: an analysis of the audience (A), careful attention to information gathering (I) is required to develop the message (M). (See page 146 in your textbook.) Think back to some business or professional communication that did not look like you had planned or hoped. This could be an email that was misunderstood, a voicemail that wasn’t clear, or even a presentation that didn’t achieve what you had hoped.

Business Communication

Business Communication For the first part of the discussion, briefly describe the communication, what the results were, and how they differed from your desired results. For the second part, looking at that same communication, apply the AIM process to the communication. Describe your audience analysis, share some information that you gathered then or are gathering now, and explain how you might develop the message differently. It is not necessary that you rewrite the communication; just describe how it might be different with the AIM process. Finally, share whether or not you think applying the AIM process to your communication would have improved the results. Explain your response.

Local Gymnasium Would you conduct an evaluation or research? Why?  Also, what would you choose as the criteria/research questions for your evaluation/research? (be specific when justifying your answer) What kinds of evidence are likely to be most informative about the effectiveness of the midnight basketball program? How would you get that evidence? What data are required? You are Director of Programming for a local gymnasium. Your gym has recently extended its hours to offer a Midnight Basketball program. The program is intended to reduce gang activity by providing an alternative late-night engagement for teen and pre-teen boys and girls, and by fostering mentoring relationships between the adults who coach and the boys and girls who participate. It is supported by a grant from a local philanthropic organization.

Local Gymnasium

Local Gymnasium The grant has been provided for three years, but in order for it to be renewed, the philanthropic organization wants evidence that it is making a difference – that is, that the program is keeping participants out of gangs, and is thereby helping to reduce gang activity. In order to determine whether or not it is worthwhile for your program to continue, the philanthropic organization wants to know what effects your program is having, and how substantial those effects are.
