Case Study: When first trying to put together the factors involved in making a diagnosis from a medical case study, a good place to start is by making a set of general observations about the patient. These observations include the patient's history, set of symptoms, general appearance and behavior, and information gathered about their medical condition. This assignment will give you practice making observations through the case study provided on asthma, and further your understanding of respiratory diseases. Instructions In order to complete this discussion, please be sure you have read the Case Study on Ms. Wollen in Module 3's Exploration. In a post that is a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following:
Questions:
1. What are your initial observations of the patient in this case?
2. What do you think the diagnosis may be? What are the associated cellular and physiological mechanisms that may be occurring?
3. What are the demographic statistics of patients with this condition?
4. What may be the treatment options for this patient?
5. What are the major risk factors that may contribute to the onset of this condition?
6. How may a patient need to make changes to their lifestyle/habits to prevent complications from this condition?
