The Pathophysiology of Disorders

• From the list below, select a disorder of interest to you:

  • Asthma in children
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Hepatic disease (liver disease)
  • Hypertension
  • Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
  • Seizures
  • Sepsis
• 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.
• 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. 
• Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and
  Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” 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.

• 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.
• 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.
