Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency

Question

Application: Disorders of the Veins and Arteries

Advanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT.

To prepare:

Review the section "Diseases of the Veins" (pp. 585-587) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.
Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week's Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.

Review the "Mind Maps-Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)" media in the Week 2 Learning

Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps-one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.

Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.

Construct two mind maps-one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology,

pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Answer 1

For the following biology questions related to disorders of the veins and arteries, respond to the following questions in detailed paragraph format by following the APA guidelines. Q1. Recognize the pathophysiology of the chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Write the similarities and differences between such disorders. Q2. Differentiate the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Illustrate how venous thrombosis is dissimilar from the arterial thrombosis. Q3. Describe how the patient factor you chose might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Illustrate how you would diagnose and set down treatment of such disorders for a patient based on the factor you chosen. Q4. Build two mind maps-one for the chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Comprise the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation and also the diagnosis and treatment you described in your paper.
