Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders
Discussion: 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 6 and Chapter 8
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.
By Day 3
Post a brief description of the pathophysiology of the immune disorders
you selected. Explain how the maladaptive and physiological responses of
the two disorders differ. Then, describe the types of drugs that would
be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these immune
disorders and why. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the
pathophysiology of each disorder as well as the effects of prescribed
drugs. Finally, explain any measures you might take to help reduce any
negative side effects.
Note: Post a (at least 500 word) response. Be
sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations.
Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of
transitional material and organizational frames. Use the writing
resources and the Discussion and Response Rubric to develop your post.
Three credible references are required for this discussion post. A
reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually less
than or equal to 5 years old).
