Please review Dr. Harris’s course introduction with regards to acceptable primary sources of reference. Content reflective of sources other than a primary reference will not be considered when grading other than the required textbook for this course.
Below is the assigned case scenario for week 1. An initial post and 2 classmate replies are required to complete this assignment. Please see the course syllabus for details and/or refer to week 1.
Of note, each learning objective (bullet point) should have a subject heading of its own. Please refer to APA if you need to familiarize yourself with format of establishing a subject heading. Kindly note, week 2 will have a different assigned case scenario for your first 1-2 page paper assignment.
Scenario 1: A 16-year-old boy comes to clinic with chief complaint of sore throat for 3 days. Denies fever or chills. PMH negative for recurrent colds, influenza, ear infections or pneumonias. NKDA or food allergies. Physical exam reveals temp of 99.6 F, pulse 78 and regular with respirations of 18. HEENT normal with exception of reddened posterior pharynx with white exudate on tonsils that are enlarged to 3+. Positive anterior and posterior cervical adenopathy. Rapid strep test performed in office was positive. His HCP wrote a prescription for amoxicillin 500 mg po q 12 hours x 10 days disp #20. He took the first capsule when he got home and immediately complained of swelling of his tongue and lips, difficulty breathing with audible wheezing. 911 was called and he was taken to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment for his allergic reaction.
I will specifically looking for content following each subject heading
The Role Genetics Plays in the Disease
Presenting Specific Symptoms
The Physiologic Response to the Stimulus and why the Response Occurred
The Cells Involved in this Process.
How Another Characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) Would Change the Response
Thank you,
Dr. Sweeney
ALTERATIONS IN CELLULAR PROCESSES
At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinsonâs Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
To prepare:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific scenario for this Discussion. Please see the âCourse Announcementsâ section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 1
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
Read a selection of your colleaguesâ responses.
BY DAY 6 OF WEEK 1
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on 2 different days and respectfully agree or disagree with your colleagueâs assessment and explain your reasoning. In your explanation, include why their explanations make physiological sense or why they do not.
Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your peers’ posting. Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit!
