Nursing Assignment: Maladaptive Responses To Immune Disorders

/in /by

Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

Maladaptive responses to disorders are compensatory mechanisms that ultimately have adverse health effects for patients. For instance, a patient’s allergic reaction to peanuts might lead to anaphylactic shock, or a patient struggling with depression might develop a substance-abuse problem. To properly diagnose and treat patients, advanced practice nurses must understand both the pathophysiology of disorders and potential maladaptive responses that some disorders cause.

Consider immune disorders, such as HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus E. What are resulting maladaptive responses for patients with these disorders?

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 in the Huether and McCance text, as well as the Yi, et al, article in the Learning Resources. Reflect on the concept of maladaptive responses to disorders.
  • Select two of the following immune disorders: HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and/or systemic lupus E (SLE).
  • Think about the pathophysiology of each disorder you selected. Consider the compensatory mechanisms that the disorders trigger. Then, compare the resulting maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders.
  • Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these disorders and why.
  • Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how your selected factor might impact the disorder. Then, reflect on how your selected factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.

Questions to be addressed in my paper:

  1. A brief description of the pathophysiology of the immune disorders you selected.
  2. Explain how the maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders differ.
  3. Then, describe the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these immune disorders and why.
  4. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of each disorder as well as the effects of prescribed drugs.
  5. Explain any measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.
  6. Summary with Conclusion

REMINDERS:

1)      2-3 pages (addressing the 5 questions above excluding the title page and reference page).

2)      Kindly follow APA format for the citation and references! References should be between the period of 2011 and 2016. Please utilize the references at least three below as much as possible and the rest from yours.

3)     Make headings for each question.

Circular Motion

Pre-Lab Questions

1. In this lab, you will be rotating a mass on one side of a string that is balanced by a second mass on the other end of the string (Figure 5). Apply Newton’s Second Law of Motion to mass 1, m1, and mass 2, m2, to solve for the period of mass 1.

a. Physics-image15 Hint: assume m1= 4m2. How is the centripetal force on m1 related to the force of gravity on m2?

Figure 5: Rotating mass.

2. Draw a free body diagram and solve for the centripetal acceleration in terms of θ and g for one person riding on the amusement park ride in Figure 3.

3. The around the world yo-yo trick is completed when you twirl a yo-yo in a vertical circle. If the yo-yo was in uniform circular motion, compare the force of tension at the top of the circle to the force of tension at the bottom of the circle.

a. Hint: Drawing a free body diagram will be helpful.

Experiment 1: Balancing Centripetal Force

Data Sheet

Table 1. Rotational Data

Radius (m) Time per 15 revolutions (s) Period (s) Expected Value Percent Error (%)
0.25        
0.40        
0.15        

 

Post-Lab Questions

1. Compare your measured data to your predicted values with a percent error calculation. Explain any differences with an error analysis.

2. List all of the physical quantities that affect the value of centripetal force.

3. How did the period of rotation vary as you changed the radius?

4. Draw a circle to represent the path taken by your rotating mass. Place a dot on the circle to represent your rotating washer. Add a straight line from the dot to the center of the circle, representing the radius of rotation (the string). Now label the direction of the tangential velocity and the centripetal force.

5. Refer to the picture in Figure 3 again (pictured below). Before the apparatus begins to spin the wires connecting the swings to the top of the structure will be completely vertical. Once the apparatus begins to spin the swings move outward radially, but also upwards vertically. From where does the force causing this vertical acceleration come?
