Concept Process: Irritable Bowel Syndrome XXXXXXXXXXChamberlain University NR 283: Pathophysiology Concept Process: Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable Bowel Sy ndrome (IBS) is a “gastrointestinal disorder with manifestations of abdominal pain/discomfort and changes in normal bowel habits (Hubert and VanMeter, 2017)”. The pathophysiology is “the rapid transit time of feces through the bowel. This causes hypersensitivity on the enteric system (Hubert and VanMeter, 2017)”. The basic concept...

Discuss the pathophysiology of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), what chamber is affected and what population is typically affected? L ventricle, L ventricle valves and L aortic valves are too small or under developed. LV Is the primary chamber to pump blood to body. The R side of the heart has to compensate to increase organ perfusion. Congenital defect that requires surgery. Normal ejection fraction 50-70% 5. What hormone does Parathyroid secrete? Calcium Hypoparathyroid- dx with ...

CONCEPT MAP WORKSHEETDESCRIBE DISEASE PROCESS AFFECTING PATIENT(INCLUDE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DISEASE PROCESS)Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure after 20 weeks gestation. It is grouped into mild and severe and thenprogresses to eclampsia. Mild preeclampsia is blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg and severe is >160/110 mm Hg. The pathophysiologyis largely unknown but it involves both vasospasm and hypoperfusion. It causes pulmonary edema, oliguria, seizures,thrombocytopenia, and abno...
