Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

Pathophysiology Adventure Part 2

My chosen condition is HIV and Mental Health

This discussion represents the second step in a three-step discussion series where you will choose your pathophysiology adventure to analyze and present to the class. Students will continue to explore the disease process that was chosen in Week 2. In this step of the discussion series, you will describe the pathophysiology of your chosen condition from Week 2 and its manifestations, diagnosis, and lifespan considerations. You will also create your case study.  

  1. Describe the pathophysiology of the chosen condition. What is the condition’s etiology, signs and symptoms, complications, and risk factors? 
  2. Discuss how the condition is diagnosed. What are relevant assessment findings, labs, and imaging studies? 
  3. Explain how the pathophysiology of the condition might differ across the lifespan. Does the condition manifest in pediatric, pregnant, breastfeeding, and older adult populations? How might the condition look different across the lifespan? 
  4. Create your case study based on the chosen condition (~ 1,000 words or less using bullet points and full sentences). Start with the diagnosis and work backward to develop a clinical scenario that leads to this diagnosis. Include the client’s name, social background, symptoms, lab results, medical or surgical history, and other relevant details.
