October 3, 2019Patient case study: Examining pathophysiological processes.
The purpose of this case study to explain what is going on. why is health breakdown such as Fever what is going on a cellular level what is the body system response what is initiate this Fever think about sign and symptoms
If you happy with this case go with.
Respiratory illness with a previous diagnosis of diabetes
if you chose this case take one illness in respirtory with previos dignosised DM
Introduction:
Provide a brief introduction to the case :
*use a pseudonym for your patient
*presenting problems
*medical diagnosis.
Include:
*summary of the patient’s history (past medical and social history) *presenting signs and symptoms *relevant diagnostic and pathology test results
*current medications
Problems:
*Identify the signs and symptoms that you believe to be altered for your patient, and prioritise these according to clinical urgency using the A-G format.
*A-E is satisfactory.
*F and G, not compulsory include if relevant to your case
-F= fluids in/out
-G glucose
I have asked you to prioritise your findings – if you don’t have any clinical findings, there is nothing to document (ie. you don’t have to anticipate potential findings).
Pathophysiology:
*Discuss the pathophysiology underlying the altered signs and symptoms, with reference to the patient’s disease process. Within this section you need to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between the patients’ signs and symptoms, and the underlying cellular AND systemic pathophysiological processes.
General considerations:
– Look at the allocation of marks – this will show you where you should be focussing your effort/word limit.-Abbreviations – write in full first time, then abbreviate
– Subheadings are appropriate in this paper if you wish to use them
– References – need to be recent (last 5-10 years)
Criteria:
Identification of significant underlying pathophysiological process impacting your:
1) patient, and provision of a comprehensive patent history (20%)
2) Identify and prioritise the altered physical findings (20%)
3) Discussion of cellular and systemic pathophysiology underlying the altered signs and symptoms (60%)
Marking Rubric :
1. Introduction: The student is able to provide a brief specific introduction to the case study which includes an accurate identification of the significant underlying pathophysiological process impacting the patient, and a comprehensive patient history.
2. Problems: The student is able to clearly identify all the patient’s altered physical findings and prioritise these findings according to clinical urgency using supporting evidence-based literature.
3. Discussion – Discuss the pathophysiology underlying the altered physical findings with reference to the patient’s condition: Within this section the student is required to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between the patients’ physical findings, and the underlying cellular AND systemic pathophysiological processes using evidence-based literature.

please have look to example of my friend she has case study but different from my case study you can take the concept of arrangement of ideas only part the introduction and Pathophysiology.

* you misunderstand the case if you read the instruction you will find you have to choose one case of those person with a respiratory illness with a previous diagnosis of diabetes, or a person with cardiac issues with a previous diagnosis of dementia. you wrong chose wrong.
in discussion you have to discuss the illness and elaborate why there is there problem existe by use explian the antony of function in body here you have to foucse on. in the investigation explain the mechanism work the lung what is relation between respiratory illness and diabetes

Assessment: Case study
Select a case study from your workplace. If you are not currently working, you may use a patient that you have previously cared for. This patient must be experiencing 2 significant health issues. Examples may include a person with a respiratory illness with a previous diagnosis of diabetes, or a person with cardiac issues with a previous diagnosis of dementia.
1. Introduction -Provide a brief introduction to the case (remember to use a pseudonym for your
patient) which includes presenting problems and medical diagnosis. Include a summary of the
patient’s history (past medical and social history), presenting signs and symptoms, relevant
diagnostic and pathology test results, and current medications.
2. Problems – Identify the signs and symptoms that you believe to be altered for your patient, and
prioritise these according to clinical urgency using the A-G format.
3. Discussion – Discuss the pathophysiology underlying the altered signs and symptoms, with
reference to the patient’s disease process. Within this section you need to demonstrate a
comprehensive understanding of the relationships between the patients’ signs and
symptoms, and the underlying cellular AND systemic pathophysiological processes.
4. Conclusion.
Criteria:
Identification of significant underlying pathophysiological process impacting your:
1) patient, and provision of a comprehensive patent history (20%)
2) Identify and prioritise the altered physical findings (20%)
3) Discussion of cellular and systemic pathophysiology underlying the altered signs and symptoms (60%)

Writing:
Academic writing at a post grad level is expected – some basic rules:
o Past tense.
o Abbreviations–toincludeyouneedtowriteinfullfirstwiththeabbreviation following in brackets.
o Avoid short hande. g. Hb,WCC.
o Avoid personal terms like “I” and “we” – remember writing needs to be objective (based on evidence) and not subjective (your opinion).
o Paragraphsshouldbeatleast3sentenceslong–avoidparagraphsthatgo
o for a page or more – or lots of really short paragraphs
-Word limit: max 2000 words
