b’nAssignment 1: Gastrointestinal Tract: Disorders of MotilityJamie is a 3-month-old female who presents with her mother for evaluation of xe2x80x9cthrowing up.xe2x80x9d Mom reports that Jamie has been throwing up pretty much all the time since she was born. Jamie does not seem to be sick. In fact, she drinks her formula vigorously and often acts hungry. Jamie has normal soft brown bowel movements every day and, overall, seems like a happy and contented baby. She smiles readily and does not cry often. Other than the fact that she often throws up after drinking a bottle, she seems to be a very healthy, happy infant. A more precise history suggests that Jamie does not exactly throw upxe2x80x94she does not heave or act unwellxe2x80x94but rather it just seems that almost every time she drinks a bottle she regurgitates a milky substance. Mom thought that she might be allergic to her formula and switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. It didnxe2x80x99t appear to help at all, and now Mom is very concerned.Cases like these are not uncommon. The mother was concerned and thinking her daughter may have an allergy; she changed to a different formula. However, sometimes babies have immature GI tracts that can lead to physiology reflux as they adapt to normal life outside the uterus. Parents often do not consider this possibility, prompting them to change formulas rather than seeking medical care. As in the case study above, GI alterations can often be difficult to identify because many cause similar symptoms. This same issue also arises with adultsxe2x80x94adults may present with symptoms that have various potential causes. When evaluating patients, it is important for the advanced practice nurse to know the types of questions he or she needs to ask to obtain the appropriate information for diagnosis. For this reason, you must have an understanding of common GI disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis.To Preparexc2xb7 Review this weekxe2x80x99s media presentation on the gastrointestinal system.xc2xb7 Review Chapter 35 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production.xc2xb7 Review Chapter 37 in the Huether and McCance text. Consider the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and gastritis. Think about how these disorders are similar and different.xc2xb7 Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this weekxe2x80x99s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on this factor.xc2xb7 Review the xe2x80x9cMind Mapsxe2x80x94Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)xe2x80x9d media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for gastritis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of gastritis.To CompleteWrite a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:xc2xb7 Describe the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production. Explain the changes that occur to gastric acid stimulation and production with GERD, PUD, and gastritis disorders.xc2xb7 Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of GERD, PUD, and gastritis. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.xc2xb7 Construct a mind map for gastritis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology of DisordersDuring the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinsonxe2x80x99s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems.To Preparexc2xb7 From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:o Alzheimerxe2x80x99s diseaseo Asthma in childreno Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)o Congestive heart failureo Hepatic disease (liver disease)o Hypertensiono Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidismo Seizureso Sepsisxc2xb7 Identify alterations associated with your selected disorder. Consider the pathophysiology of the alterations. Think about how these alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems.xc2xb7 Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.xc2xa0xc2xb7 Review the xe2x80x9cMind mapsxe2x80x94Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)xe2x80x9d media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of your selected disorder.To CompleteDevelop a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:xc2xb7 Describe your selected disorder, as well as associated alterations. Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes that occur in at least two body systems.xc2xb7 Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder.xc2xb7 Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder.Use resources belowHuether, S.
