4.

5.

THE SELFISH ORGAN

• There over 7,500 named parts in the human body and most scientists would agree that of the few thousand named parts, there are 10-15 major organs.

• What are these major organs?

• Of those listed what organ do you feel is the most “Selfish” organ

• In your group of 4 discuss why this organ is the most selfish

BRAIN MODEL

• Using the materials make a model containing the 10 most important physiological elements to a healthy brain.

For Example: One of the 10 elements should be Oxygen

You will present your model to the class on another day

BRAIN RESPONSE TO ILLNESS

• What are the signs and symptoms of a person experiencing hypovolemic shock?

a. HR

b. RR

c. BP

d. LOC

e. Other

CLINICAL COMPONENT

• Students will be placed in groups. There will 4 to a group and all must be at your respective clinical rotation site.

• Each student will utilize the documentation sheet to obtain the required information. Each student will make an effort to gain information about a patient in their respective assigned area.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN PROFESSIOANLISM, HIPAA, PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.

NO PERSONAL INDENTIFYING INFORMATION IS TO BE WRTTEN OR TAKEN OUT OF THE FACILITY.

Documentation: Review questions before interview

process Maximum of 4 questions, follow

Patient Assessment format….i.e SOAP Interview patient and or Healthcare

Provider Gain access to patient’s chart and

review records Document information as obtained

from source Bedside assessment with Healthcare

Provider Review information with team Define tests that provide values that

support diagnosis

INFORMATION TO OBTAIN

Each person in a group has different rotation sites with different patients, access etc….

Not all of you will be able to have access or obtain the information required, this will require collaboration, team work etc….

Once the time for rotations is completed on day 1, each group will have time on day 2 to collaborate and decide which disease/ disorder or acute condition or condition’s they wish to utilize for this project.

Each group may use additional resources, and must have 5 valid cited sources included and report in MLA Format.

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ELEMENTS

1. Each group of 4 will obtain a total of 5 different diseases/disorders from their patients at their clinical sites.

2. Once the information is obtained, the group must provide ALL of the signs and symptoms of the each disease.

3. While reverting back to your brain model, identify the elements (from the 10 elements that your group came up with) that are not being met causing the brain to respond a certain way.

SHOCK EXAMPLE

Disease/Disorder: Shock

Sign/Symptom: Increased Heart Rate

Lacking Element: Oxygenated blood to the brain

Reason for the Sign/Sypmtom: Brain is not getting enough oxygenated blood so it caused the heart to beat faster.

Hypoxia; deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues of the bodyHypoxia Values- Oxygen Levels of Blood Saturation 95-100%Provide graph of mean and critical values

Resulting in the following signs / symptoms:

Confusion Element MentalCough ElementBreathingFast Heart Rate Element CardiacRapid Breathing Element BreathingShortness of breath ElementBreathingSweating Element TemperatureWheezing Element Breathing
