walden nurs6501 Week 10 assignment The Pathophysiology of Disorders

During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body
systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological These
four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad
of functions For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it
can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body For
instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet
its alterations actually affect multiple body systems from the cardiovascular system
to the gastrointestinal system In this Assignment, you examine alterations
associated with disorders, as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple
body systems

alterations produce pathophysiological changes in at least two body systems

Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and
Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning
Resources Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for
the disorder you selected Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation
of your selected disorder

addresses the following:

Describe your selected disorder, as well as associated
alterations Explain the pathophysiology of the alterations, including changes
that occur in at least two body systems

Explain how genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior
might impact the pathophysiology of the alterations you identified, as well as
diagnosis and treatment of your selected disorder

Construct a mind map for the disorder you selected Include
the epidemiology, pathophysiology of alterations, risk factors, and clinical
presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder
