NURS 6501 Module 1 Week 2 Assignment: Case Study Analysis




Introduction


An adaptive response is a compensatory mechanism of the body’s appropriate reaction to

an environmental demand (Adaptive response, 2017). As an Advance Practice Nurse, one must

be able to recognize signs and symptoms that indicate an unbalance of the homeostasis of the

body to correctly diagnose and treat a disorder. In this paper, I will discuss the pathophysiology,

associated alterations, and the patients’ adaptive responses to the changes caused by the disease

processes determined from the scenarios given for this assignment. Those disease processes are

as follows; scenario 1) Tonsillitis, scenario 2) Contact Dermatitis, and scenario 3) Stress

Response. I will also present a mind map of Tonsillitis that includes the epidemiology,

pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of the disorder, as well as any

adaptive responses to alterations.


Tonsillitis


In scenario 1, Jennifer, a two-year-old female, presents to the office with symptoms

explained by her mother as a fever off and on for three days with a high-temperature today of

103.2° F, fussy, not able to eat, and in good health before the last three days. Physical

examination shows a throat that is erythematous with 4+ swelling of her tonsils and diffuse

exudate, hot and dry skin, palpable and tender to touch anterior cervical nodes. Jennifer states

her throat ―hurts a lot,‖ and it is painful to swallow. Her VS are a temperature of 102.8° F, a

pulse of 128 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 24 beats per minute. A diagnosis of

Acute Tonsillitis is made, and treatment options are discussed.


Tonsillitis is inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils. The inflammation may extend to the

adenoid and the lingual tonsils (Medscape, 2017). Tonsillitis is a result of viral or bacterial
