Assignment: Disorders of the Veins and Arteries
\nAdvanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT.
\nTo Prepare
\nReview the section \u201cDiseases of the Veins\u201d (pp. 598-599) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.
\nSelect a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week\u2019s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
\nReview the \u201cMind Maps\u2014Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)\u201d media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps\u2014one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.
\nTo Complete
\nWrite a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
\nCompare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.
\nExplain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
\nConstruct two mind maps\u2014one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
