My assignment is aboutAsthma & Acute Pulmonary Oedema
The aim of the discussion forum is to post your initial research and thoughts regarding the following questions.
PART 1: Pathophysiology
-How do the different disease processes effect each other,?
-How do they interact – their relationship, ?
– How might they present in a patient ?
PART 2: Consideration of risks to decision making and care planning
How does the comorbidity effect:
– diagnosis e.g. diagnostic overshadowing
– priority of care
– Patient outcomes e.g. how they may adversely affect outcomes
PART 3: Factors that influence transport and priority to tertiary care
Consider and discuss the factors that would influence transport and priority to tertiary care e.g. (these are suggestions and by no means exhaustive)
– the severity of the asthma or APO,
– age of the patient,
– how long the patient has been managing both conditions,
– the prolonged chronic nature of these conditions and the effect that has on body systems etc.
This assignment should be approximately 600 words. 8 to 10 references at least Harvard style and including in text references.
THE POSTS MUST INCLUDE:
EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH THAT SUPPORTS YOUR DISCUSSION;
CRITIQUE OF OTHERS EVIDENCE AND KEY POINTS;
EVIDENCE OF LITERATURE THAT CONTRIBUTES NEW THOUGHTS AND POINTS OF VIEW TO THE DISCUSSION OF YOUR ALLOCATED SUBJECT.
PART 1
Part 1: Student Description: Include in your discussion the pathophysiology of the two disease process with a specific focus on: how they interact and what effect that has on patient presentation (so what the combination of the two diseases might look like in a patient)

PART 2
Part 2: Student Description: Consideration of risks to decision making and care planning. Include in your discussion your understanding of how comorbidity effects: diagnosis e.g. diagnostic overshadowing, priority of care, and patient outcomes e.g. how they may adversely affect outcomes

PART 3
Part 3: Student Description: Factors that influence transport and priority to tertiary care Consider and discuss the factors that would influence transport and priority to tertiary care e.g. (these are suggestions and by no means exhaustive) the severity of the asthma or APO, age of the patient, how long the patient has been managing both conditions, the prolonged chronic nature of these conditions and the effect that has on body systems etc.
