Question

In this project, you will complete a clinical case study analysis, research review, and oral presentation about the pathophysiology of your chosen topic. In this project, you will work in groups of two to four people. You will present as a group and receive a participation/collaboration grade. You will also be graded based on your individual contribution to the content. Your presentations should follow a case study SBAR format (situation, background, assessment, and recommendations). Include four (4) different medical-based evidence and/or research recommendations. You must include at least five (5) scholarly sources in your overall presentation. Your group presentation should include: Introduction to the case or situation Background detail Clinical assessment Recommendations Application to future practice At least five (5) scholarly references supporting your ideas The use of audiovisual aids such as PowerPoint, DVD clips, sound effects, posters, radiology films, medical reports, etc. Opportunities for engagement with the audience such as a question and answer session Submit your PowerPoint and any handouts to the assignment dropbox before your presentation. You may submit just your portion of the overall presentation OR submit the entire presentation; be clear which section you are responsible for. Review the rubric for grading criteria. *HIPPA Compliance: If you are using an actual person for your case study, please see your instructor to obtain a HIPPA release form so that we are in compliance with the Health Information Patient Privacy Act. ** At some campuses, there will be an incorporation of the “Team Teach” collaboration model where nursing faculty are invited to come and observe the presentations and give feedback from a clinical perspective. Your instructor will inform you if this is a requirement. Points Possible: 100

Answer 1

Clinical case study analysis:
Topic:
Acute Stroke:
SBAR Format:
Situation:
Acute stroke starts suddenly and it worsen rapidly..This stroke may be preceded by a transient ischemic attack(TIA).
Risk factors include recent heart attack,obesity,family history,cerebro vascular disease,Lack of physical exercise,use of alcohol and recreational drugs.
Background:
It has common symptoms like numbness,difficulty speaking,loss of vision,difficulty walking,head ache,loss of balance and confusion..Now it is a treatable condition that need special attention,drug treatment and specialist care influence the survival and recovery..People with Transient ischemic attack have stroke within three to 6 months..Pathophysiology due to interruption of blood flow to a region in the brain,it can be due to ischemic or hemorrhagic..
Ischemic stroke due to blood supply to the region of the brain is stopped due to blood vessel blocked by a blood clot..This is due to high cholesterol,blood pressure,heart disease etc..
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when an artery in the brain getting bleeding..this is due to abnormal artery structure like arterial venous malformation(AVM) or aneurysm..When blood vessels bleed cause pressure to skull and compress the brain can cause permanent brain damagr..
Assessment:
-Vital signs
-physical examination
-carotid Auscultation
-Heart auscultation
- CT scan
-MRI scan
-Neurological assessment
-EKG
-Echo cardiogram
-Blood cholesterol level and serum glucose level
Recommendation:
It can be manageable with potential medical treatment called Tissue plasminogen Activator(t-PA)..Surgery include mechanical thrombectomy and medication to control bleeding is the treatment choice..Aspirin and heparin administration as per patient condition..also cliping and ruptured aneurysm or endovascular embolization to decrease the blood flow..Rehabilitation is necessary for patient in stroke unit..
