Examine alterations in the immune system and the resultant disease processes. You consider
patient characteristics, including racial and ethnic variables, and the impact they have on altered
physiology.
•
•
Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes
Analyze alterations in the immune system that result in disease processes
Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning
Evaluate the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology
Develop a FOUR(4) page case study analysis in which you:
•
…xplain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described.
Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.
Scenario: A 42-year-old man comes to clinic with chief complaint of pain, redness, and
swelling of his right calf. He states that he had been working in his yard using a string trimmer
when the trimmer slipped and cut his leg. He cleaned the wound with water from the garden hose
and covered the wound with a large Band-Aid. Several days later, he developed fever to 100.6? F
and chills and noticed that his leg was swollen and red. He comes to the emergency department
for definitive care.
