Pathophysiology
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
Pathophysiology
Choose a sleep disorder and discuss the pathophysiology, and assessment criteria, and treatment options
Pathophysiology
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which beta cells are destroyed in genetically susceptible persons. This condition is usually diagnosed in children and young people so it is also called as juvenile diabetes age of onset from childhood. (Ignatavicius et al., 2021).
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disorder in which the person initially has insulin resistance that progresses to decreased beta cell secretion of insulin.
Risk factors
Age
Family history
Overweight
Pregnancy
Race and ethnicity
Environmental factor
Unhealthy lifestyle.
Age of onset :
Type 1 diabetes: At any age, significantly below 30 years.
Type 2 diabetes: Onset of diabetes at any age, but mostly above 30 years of age.
Pathophysiology :
Chronic hyperglycemia results from the impaired process in glucose regulation that includes reduced insulin secretion or reduced insulin action, or both. (Ignatavicius et al., 2021).
Clinical manifestations Type 1:-
Weight loss
fatigue and weakness
Nausea
vomiting
Irritability
Type 2 diabetes:
Weight loss
Nausea
vomiting
Irritability
Blurred vision
Dry itchy skin
The most important topic that must be taught to a diabetic patient’s health Education’
Health education :
It is necessary to treat and control diabetes. You have to make lifestyle modifications like exercising regularly, taking good healthy food, seeking medical assistance, and taking medications regularly.
Exercise has a significant role in treating diabetes. Exercise affects your blood glucose level. Check your blood sugar level before and after taking food. Maintain good personal hygiene. Avoid unnecessary wounds on your feet because diabetic patients take more time in wound healing.

For Type 1 Diabetes, the pathophysiology is a chronic condition in which the pancreas (beta cells) is unable to produce insulin. The risk factors are autoimmune response and genetics. The age of onset is childhood. The clinical manifestations are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, hyperglycemia, and blurred vision (Ignatavicius et al., 2021).
For Type 2 Diabetes, the pathophysiology is characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. The risk factors are obesity, sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. The age of onset is adulthood. The clinical manifestations are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight gain, poor wound healing, fatigue, blurred vision, recurrent infection, numbness and tingling of hands and feet, and dry skin (Ignatavicius et al., 2021).
I think the most important topic that must be taught to the diabetic patient is proper diet. Diabetic patients need to be taught that food, specifically carbohydrates, are converted to glucose. Monitoring carbohydrate intake is very important. Having a proper diet is a big factor in diabetes management aside from monitoring the blood sugar.
