NURS 6512 I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: ASSESSING THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Sample Answer for NURS 6512 I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: ASSESSING THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Included After Question

I-HUMAN PATIENTS CASE STUDY: ASSESSING THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

This course requires you to complete a series of case studies using the i-Human Patients software application. The i-Human Patients (IHP) Case Player enables you to interact with virtual patients for the purpose of learning patient-assessment and diagnostic-reasoning skills. With IHP, you will be able to independently interview, examine, diagnose, and treat virtual patients and receive expert feedback on your performance. 

In order to adequately assess the chest region of a patient, advanced practice nurses need to be aware of a patient’s history, potential abnormal findings, and what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted to determine the causes and severity of abnormalities. 

Take a moment to observe your breathing. Notice the sensation of your chest expanding as air flows into your lungs. Feel your chest contract as you exhale. How might this experience be different for someone with chronic lung disease or someone experiencing an asthma attack?

WEEKLY RESOURCES

To prepare:

• By Day 1 of this week, your Instructor will assign an i-Human Patients case for this Assignment. Note: Please see the Course Announcements section of the classroom for your i-Human Patients Assignment. 
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide related to the cardiovascular system. 
• Access and review the assigned i-Human Patients case study. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient. 
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be most appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. 
• Reflect on how the results would be used to make a diagnosis. 
• Identify three to five (3–5) possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient. 
• Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis. 
• Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with cardiovascular conditions. 

Assignment

As you interact with this week’s i-Human Patients patient, complete the assigned case study. For guidance on using i-Human Patients, refer to the i-Human Graduate Programs Help link within the i-Human Patients platform.
