• Differentiate between systolic and diastolic heart failure. • State whether the patient is in systolic or diastolic heart failure. • Explain the pathophysiology associated with each of the following symptoms: dyspnea on exertion, pitting edema, jugular vein distention, and orthopnea. • Explain the significance of the presence of a 3rd heart sound and ejection fraction of 25%.

NR 507 Week 2 Discussion: Respiratory Disorders and Alterations in Acid/Base Balance, Fluid and Electrolytes - Discussion Part Two 2023. Tammy is a 33-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She reports that about 3 weeks ago she developed a “really bad cold” with rhinorrhea. The cold seemed to go away but then she developed a profound, deep, mucus-producing cough. Now, there is no rhinorrhea or rhinitis—the primary problem is the cough. She develops these coughing fits that are...

Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with selected disease states. (PO 1) 2 Differentiate the epidemiology, etiology, developmental considerations, pathogenesis, and clinical and laboratory manifestations of specific disease processes.

NR 507 Week 2 Discussion: Respiratory Disorders and Alterations in Acid/Base Balance, Fluid and Electrolytes - Discussion Part Two 2023. Dr. Brown and Class, Respiratory diseases can have very non-specific symptoms, which can make forming a diagnosis difficult. The general symptoms of a respiratory tract infection include: cough (with or without sputum production), hemoptysis, weight loss, breathlessness, night sweats, fever, general lethargy, and malaise (Kaufman, 2011). It appears Tammy was...

Discussion Questions: Heart Failure • Differentiate between systolic and diastolic heart failure. • State whether the patient is in systolic or diastolic heart failure. • Explain the pathophysiology associated with each of the following symptoms: dyspnea on exertion, pitting edema, jugular vein distention, and orthopnea. • Explain the significance of the presence of a 3rd heart sound and ejection fraction of 25%.

Case Scenario: A 72-year-old male presents to the primary care office with shortness of breath, leg swelling, and fatigue. He reports that he stopped engaging in his daily walk with friends three weeks ago because of shortness of breath that became worse with activity. He decided to come to the office today because he is now propping up on at least 3 pillows at night to sleep. He tells the NP that he sometimes sleeps better in his recliner chair. PMH includes hypertension, hyperlipidemia and T...
