Assignment 6: Neurological and musculoskeletal systems
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.
