This NURS 6521 Week 4 Assignment features patient case studies on gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and cardiovascular disorders. Scenario 1 typically involves managing obesity-related hypertension and hyperlipidemia in a patient taking NSAIDs, or evaluating a patient presenting with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and suspected Hepatitis C. The assignment requires developing drug therapy plans, evaluating pharmacokinetic factors, and answering patient management questions based on evidence-based guidelines. Scenario 1: Case 1 - Hypertension & Obesity This case presents Sara, a 45-year-old female presenting with hypertension (160/90) and a BMI of 33 (Obese), who is currently taking 600 mg of ibuprofen for back pain. Key Practice Questions & Answers: • Blood Pressure Goal: The optimal blood pressure target is (le frac{120}{80}) mmHg. • Drug Interaction: Ibuprofen can antagonize antihypertensive medications and increase blood pressure. • Management Strategy: Discontinue ibuprofen, initiate weight loss, and prescribe an ACE inhibitor (e.g., Lisinopril) or an ARB to protect the kidneys and reduce cardiovascular risk. Scenario 1: Case 2 - Suspected Hepatitis C This case frequently involves a patient presenting to the emergency room with severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a history of drug abuse, and possible Hepatitis C. Key Practice Questions & Answers: • Assessment: Must monitor liver function tests (LFTs) and thyroid function (as Hepatitis C is linked to thyroid dysfunction). • Diagnostics: A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test is needed to confirm HCV RNA in the serum. • Management Strategy: Avoid or adjust hepatotoxic medications, and treat the underlying gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary symptoms carefully.
