Assessment

As nurses we complete physical assessment on a routine basis, but typically these are focused assessments. Which components of the head-to-toe physical assessment are not routine for you (ones you do not use on a regular basis)? 

Why is it important for you to still be familiar with these components and skilled at completing them?

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length

discussion 1 patho

 

Instructions: Please respond to each discussion question in a narrative format (APA Guidelines). 

Discussion #1 

Mr. K. is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Discussion Questions:

Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)

Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the

atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

Reflection on Learning

  

Week 2: Reflection on Learning

Reflective inquiry allows for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. Each week, you will reflect upon what you have learned and complete a reflective journal assignment: Reflection on Learning. Each weekly reflection is placed in one document, which will be submitted for grading at the end of Week 7. There is no weekly reflection in Week 8 because a reflection is incorporated into the discussion question. Please review the Reflection Guidelines and Rubric (Links to an external site.) for complete assignment requirements. Create a document where you will keep your weekly reflection.

Access your reflection document. Reflect upon your Week 2 learning journey in NR701 and consider the following in one or two paragraphs.

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Why is the information important?

· In what ways will you use this learning?
