An understanding of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that these two systems work so closely together. A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other. 

 Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact. 

 An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in cardiovascular and respiratory systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

To prepare:

This week:

   In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following

· The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.

o Be sure you discuss each symptom presented by explaining the patho process in detail at the cell level. McCance is a very helpful resource here. The focus here should be on asthma.

· Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.

o Childhood asthma has racial/ethical variables that increase the risk for asthma and poor health outcomes. Be sure to cover genetics and epigenetics, including any social determinants of health here. Explain how these are risk factors for asthma and/or poor control of asthma. Some of this may be found in McCance, but you need outside references here.

· How these processes interact to affect the patient.

o Here is where you put it all together and discuss a holistic view of how all of this affects the patient. You should discuss potential complications of poorly control asthma and how it could impact this 11-year-old patient in daily life. Think about any long-term consequences as well. Again outside references apart from McCance will be needed.

Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following
The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.

• Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
• How these processes interact to affect the patient.

  SCENARIO BELOW:

Scenario 3: 11-year-old boy complains of wheezing and difficulty “getting enough air.” Notices it more when he is playing baseball and symptoms improve when exercise activity stops. He says that the symptoms are getting worse and the symptoms are even occurring at rest. Mother says the child is allergic to cat dander and his next-door neighbor in their apartment building recently began sheltering cats for the local humane society. Auscultation demonstrates wheezes on forced expiration throughout all lung fields.

Purpose

The purpose of the iCARE Paper assignment is to explore the concept of interprofessional teams and patient outcomes. Nursing supportive actions of compassion, advocacy, resilience, and evidence-based practice will serve as a way to apply care concepts.

Directions

1. Please review the infographic as way to guide you in getting started with your assignment: Developing an Assignment with Integrity (Links to an external site.)
2. View a short tutorial with tips for completing this assignment: iCARE Paper Tutorial (Links to an external site.)
3. Getting Started: Interprofessional teams are part of practice trends we see developing in all aspects of care delivery. Consider you own work environment (or recent clinical setting).
   • For this assignment, consider the concept of interprofessional teamwork and patient outcomes.
   • Look to your current workplace as an example. (If you are not currently employed, look to a past workplace or clinical practice area.)
   • Apply the components of the iCARE concept to interprofessional teams in a short paper. (Body of the paper to be 3 pages, excluding the title page and references page)
   • iCARE components are:
     • C ompassion
     • A dvocacy
     • R esilience
     • E vidence-Based Practice (EBP)
   • How could you contribute to an interprofessional team and patient outcomes through nursing actions of: compassion, advocacy, resilience, and evidence-based practice?
4. Select one scholarly nursing article from CINAHL as a resource for your paper.
   • Additional scholarly sources can be used but are optional.
   • When searching in the CINAHL database, please limit your search word to one component of the paper you wish to emphasize, such as ‘Resilience’.  Searching for the term iCARE will not produce the results you need.
5. Elements of iCARE paper
   • Title page
   • Below are the headings to be used for this assignment.
     • Introduction: (No heading needed here in APA) Explain the type of work setting you are discussing and whether interprofessional teams are currently present. If interprofessional teams are present, indicate a team function that could be improved. If interprofessional teams are NOT present, indicate what type of team you think might be possible in the setting.
     • Describe a nursing action item for each component below that could contribute to: interprofessional team support; how this might impact the culture of your unit or organization; and possible impact on patient outcomes.
       • Compassion
       • Advocacy
       • Resilience
       • Evidence-Based Practice
     • Summary: Include a summary statement of how iCARE components can support interprofessional teams and patient outcomes. Address how you may be able to influence this process of support for interprofessional teams overall in your unit or organization.
     • References: List any references used in APA format.
