An understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critically important
component of disease and disorder diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the
impact that that these two systems can have on each other. A variety of factors and circumstances
affecting the emergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the
performance of the other.
Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutual
impact. For example, patient characteristics such as, racial and ethnic variables can play a role.
An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a
critical step in diagnosis and treatment. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate
patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify
the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:
Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account
for the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient
