NURS 6501 WU Nursing Cellular Processes & Genetic Environment Essay

Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment 

Describe cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes

• What is the impact of the genetic environment on disease?

• Explain how healthy cell activity contributes to good health and 

• how its breakdown in cellular behavior and alterations to cells lead to health issue.

• What are the roles genetics plays in disease processes?

• What is the relationship of how cells are involved in disease processes?Altered Physiology

• Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes

• Analyze alterations in the immune system that result in disease processes

• Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning

• What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology?

• What is the association of genes in the development of disease?

• What is the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems?Concepts of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disorders

• Common diseases and disorders that impact the Cardiovascular system

• Common diseases and disorders that impact the Respiratory System

• How these diseases and disorders relate to the pathophysiology of patients

• Alterations in pathophysiology in adults and children with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

• How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Cardiovascular system?© 2020 Walden University 2

• How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Respiratory system? 

• What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems?Concepts of Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders

• Common GI and Hepatobiliary disorders and the pathophysiological nature of these issues in patients:UlcersHepatitis markersAfter HP shotsGastroesophageal Reflux DiseasePancreatitisLiver failure—acute and chronicGall bladder diseaseInflammatory bowel diseaseDiverticulitisJaundiceBilirubinGastrointestinal bleed – upper and lowerHepatic encephalopathyIntra-abdominal infections (e.g., appendicitis)Renal blood flowGlomerular filtration rateKidney stonesInfections – urinary tract infections, pyelonephritisAcute kidney injuryRenal failure – acute and chronic

• How does patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables impact altered physiology?

• The pathophysiological structure, function, and alterations in Renal, Urinary, and GI functions as they relate to children and adults.© 2020 Walden University 3Concepts of Endocrine Disorders

• Common endocrine disorders and their disease processes and the pathophysiological nature of these issues in patients: DiabetesHyper- and hypothyroidismAdrenal disordersParathyroidism (hyper and hypo)Checks & balances / negative feedbackSyndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic HormonePheochromocytosisDiabetes insipidusDiabetic ketoacidosis

• How does patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables impact altered physiology?

• The pathophysiological mechanics and alterations in hormonal regulations in children and adults
