Pathophysiology and Therapeutics. Title of assignment: Laboratory report
For the reference you should seek out more robust, academic, sources.
Use also the BNF (British National Formulary) if needed.
You should be very careful and write in detail wherever is needed.
Also, write in-depth and detail how the pharmacologic work and why they were justified or use in this patient
Generally explain HOW and WHY wherever is needed.
– The learning outcome assessed is LO3 (skill): Analyse and interpret physiological data relevant to the clinical management of a disorder.
– The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate and interpret physiological data relating to respiratory physiology and pathophysiology and demonstrate an understanding in the rationale for the choice of treatment.
– Word Limit: 1,500 Words
– Structure your report by answering the following questions: (mark allocation)
1) Explain the physiology behind the results of the initial parameters measured upon the patient’s arrival at the Emergency Department (Table 1). (20%)
2) a) Comment on the significance of the results of the peak expiratory flow rate, full blood count and arterial blood gases (displayed in Tables 2 to 4) in comparison to the reference ranges provided. (20%)
b) Relate these results to the overall disease pathophysiology. (30%)
3) Outline the appropriate choice of pharmacological treatments that the doctor would administer to this patient, and why (relate to the pathophysiology). (30%)
Make sure that you reference your work accurately (using appropriate sources), and remember that the presentation of your work as well as the content will count towards your mark.
