Malignant Hyperthermia, Courtney Morris
Malignant Hyperthermia, Courtney Morris
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Malignant Hyperthermia as defined by the International Classification of Diseases is a rare but progressive, and life-threatening hyperthermic reaction in response to a triggering agent such as general anesthetic gases or the depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent Succinylcholine (Hopkins et. al., 2020). MalignantHyperthymia is a genetic disorder of the skeletal muscle, that leads to continuous muscle contraction and the inability to relax skeletal muscle (Haili and Weant, 2021). Signs and symptoms can vary from patient to patient and can be masked by anesthesia, but the classical signs include an increase in end-tidal CO2, increased heart rate, and a rapid increase in …
Hypercoagulable State Of Covid-19, Amanda Martin
Hypercoagulable State Of Covid-19, Amanda Martin
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
From the data that has been collected and compiled on SARS-CoV-2, or Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it has shown that there are unique qualities of the novel virus that leads to a hypercoagulable state in those diagnosed. To effectively treat those afflicted with this specific symptom of COVID-19, an understanding of the pathophysiology of the virus must be established to effectively treat and potentially prevent coagulopathy and the thrombotic events that can ensue. Gaining more insight into this will allow for standardized plan of care that includes appropriate predicative labs and effective prophylactic medications to be utilized in outpatient or …

Early Mobilization In Cardiac Surgery Patients, Morgan Gidley
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a buildup of plaque in the heart's arteries, which can lead to a heart attack and decrease the pumping ability of the heart muscle (American Heart Association, 2015). Because CAD is a cause major cause of mortality worldwide, it is essential to understand the risk factors, signs and symptoms, and pathophysiology behind the disease (Kanejima, 2020). To further investigate CAD, this poster was created as an educational tool. The poster discusses treatment options for heart attacks and CAD as well as preventative measures. This poster should be used as a tool to educate the public …
Ulcerative Colitis, Randy Kinietz
Ulcerative Colitis, Randy Kinietz
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
This poster briefly covers the most important concepts of ulcerative colitis (UC). UC is a complex disease process and the exact etiology is not yet known. Many researchers are currently looking to find the cause of the disease and treatment options that can target the exact pathophysiological process. Nurses are instrumental in the care of UC, especially in an outpatient setting. Education on medications and proper follow-up appointments are the key to maintaining remission, reducing flare-ups, and cancer screening. Although UC is a complex disease, a multidisciplinary approach will reduce complications and prolong remission.
Atrial Fibrillation, Nicholas Anderson
Atrial Fibrillation, Nicholas Anderson
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia that clinicians and patients should be educated on. Due to the increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs associated with AF, it is important to have a solid understanding of the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, underlying pathophysiology, significance of the pathophysiology, treatments, and nursing implications that are involved with this cardiac arrhythmia. One of the most significant complications due to AF is stroke, thus stroke prevention measures such as oral anticoagulation should be considered.
Diabetes Mellitus, Allie Luther
Diabetes Mellitus, Allie Luther
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
The topic of this poster is Diabetes Mellitus. This topic was chosen because 415 million people live with diabetes worldwide, and an estimated 193 million people have undiagnosed diabetes (Chatterjee et al., 2017). This number is expected to rise to 625 million by 2045 (Forouhi & Wareham, 2019). Type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 90% of patients with diabetes and leads to microvascular and macrovascular complications that cause profound psychological and physical distress to both patients and providers, and put a huge burden on health-care systems (Chatterjee et al., 2017). Despite increasing knowledge of the disease process an treatment, …
Atrial Fibrillation Pathophysiology, Ellen Macdonald
Atrial Fibrillation Pathophysiology, Ellen Macdonald
Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Atrial Fibrillation is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite how common this condition is, the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation is not fully understood. To enable better treatment and prevention of AF a clearer understanding of the development and progression of atrial fibrillation is needed. The purpose of the poster is to highlight current understanding of the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation as well as the signs and symptoms, complications and comorbidities, and the importance of nursing care for AF.
