PATH370 Pathophysiology

Week 2 In Class Assignment

Hodgkin disease

A.S. was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin disease and scheduled for a staging procedure. His previous axillary lymph node biopsy result was positive for Reed-Sternberg cells. The surgeon charted results of the staging procedure as “stage I.”

What is the purpose of the staging procedure for A.S.?

How does Hodgkin lymphoma spread in the body, and what does “stage I”signify for A.S.?

What is the difference between Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma?

What is the prognosis and predicted therapy for A.S. now that he has been diagnosed with stage I Hodgkin disease?

What side effects might A.S. expect from this therapy?

Case 2 E.O. is an 8-year-old girl with a history of asthma and allergy to bee stings. She has been brought to the clinic complaining of a throat infection. Her health care provider prescribes a course of penicillin to manage her current infection and cautions her parents to watch her closely for a reaction.

Discussion Questions

What type of reaction is the health care provider concerned about and why?

Explain the role of IgE and mast cells in type I hypersensitivity reactions. Why might E.O. react adversely to the antibiotic with the first use?

What would you tell E.O.’s parents to look for when they are assessing for a reaction?

What would you suggest the parents do if a reaction does occur?

Case 2

Which type of heart failure (left or right sided) is usually associated with dyspnea? What other clinical findings are likely to be present with left-sided heart failure

What compensatory mechanisms are likely to be operative in A.O. to enhance cardiac output?

What is the most likely cause of A.O.’s pedal edema?

What is the cause of A.O.’s exertional chest pain? What laboratory tests would be useful to confirm this diagnosis?

What is the rationale for the use of each of A.O.’s medications in managing her heart disease?

Case 3

Based on his case history and responsiveness to fluid therapy, what type of shock was C.C. experiencing?

What other clinical findings would be helpful in confirming the type of shock? Why?

Because of his many open wounds and invasive lines, C.C. is at risk for sepsis and septic shock. What clinical findings would suggest that this complication has developed?

Case 1How would a pneumococcal infection lead to glomerulonephritis? How can glomerulonephritis result in nephrosis?

Use J.H.’s laboratory values to determine if he is still experiencing nephrosis or his condition is progressing to renal failure.

What additional physical or laboratory findings would help determine J.H.'s degree of renal impairment?

How will J.H.'s therapy change if his condition has progressed from nephrosis to uremia?

Case 2 What type of renal failure is P.W. likely developing? What data support this conclusion?

Without adequate therapy, what may develop? Why? What is the best therapy for preventing this from occurring?

In addition to urine output, what laboratory data should be monitored to assess changes in P.W.’s renal function?

If P.W.'s renal function does not return to normal but continues to be diminished, what are the subsequent stages of his renal disorder and what clinical problems do they present?
