\u00b7 Photo Credit: Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n \u00b7 At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson\u2019s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.<\/p>\n \u00b7 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.<\/p>\n \u00b7 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n A 27-year-old patient with a history of substance abuse is found unresponsive by emergency medical services (EMS) after being called by the patient\u2019s roommate. The roommate states that he does not know how long the patient had been lying there. Patient received naloxone in the field and has become responsive. He complains of burning pain over his left hip and forearm. Assessment in the ED revealed a large amount of necrotic tissue over the greater trochanter as well as the forearm. EKG demonstrated prolonged PR interval and peaked T waves. Serum potassium level 6.9 mEq\/L.<\/p>\n Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:<\/p>\n The role genetics plays in the disease.<\/p>\n \u00b7 Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.<\/p>\n \u00b7 The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.<\/p>\n \u00b7 The cells that are involved in this process.<\/p>\n \u00b7 How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.<\/p>\n McCance, K.
