to prepare:•review this week’s media presentation on the
gastrointestinal system.•review chapter 33 in the huether and mccance text.
identify the normal pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and
production.•review chapter 35 in the huether and mccance text. consider the
pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd), peptic ulcer disease
(pud), and gastritis. think about how these disorders are similar and
different. •select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this
week’s discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. consider how
the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of gerd, pud, and
gastritis. reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these
disorders for a patient based on this factor. •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 a
mind map for gastritis. consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of
gastritis.•review the application assignment rubric found under course
informationto complete:write a 2- to 3-page paper excluding the title page,
reference page and mind map that addresses the following: •describe the normal
pathophysiology of gastric acid stimulation and production. then explain the
changes that occur to gastric acid stimulation and production within the
disorders of gerd, pud, and gastritis. you are required to discuss all three
disorders within the written component of this paper.•explain how the factor
you selected might impact the pathophysiology of gerd, pud, and gastritis.
describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for each of these
disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.•construct a mind map
for gastritis only. include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical
presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your
paper.
