“I been a Intensive Care Nurse for over 14 years i have seen kidney failure that causes sepsis shock infection because the patient was not doing dialysis as schedule”
1: Choose a clinical case from your experiences that involved a patient with complex pathophysiological
issues. This could be a patient with a chronic illness, multiple comorbidities, or a challenging diagnostic puzzle.
Step 2: Identify key pathophysiological concepts. Identify and describe the key pathophysiological concepts that
were central to the patient’s condition. These concepts may include cellular dysfunction, altered homeostasis,
genetic influences, immune responses, and more.
Step 3: Reflect on clinical decision-making. Reflect on the clinical decisions that were made in this case.
Consider how your understanding of advanced pathophysiology influenced your assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment options. Did your knowledge enable you to anticipate potential complications or guide interventions?
Step 4: Explore interprofessional collaboration. Discuss any interprofessional collaborations that were required
for the patient’s care. How did your knowledge of advanced pathophysiology facilitate effective communication
and collaboration with other healthcare professionals?
Step 5: Analyze personal learning and growth. Reflect on how engaging with this complex pathophysiological
case has contributed to your personal learning and growth as a nurse. Consider how your critical thinking skills,
clinical judgment, and confidence in managing complex cases have evolved.
Step 6: Future applications. Consider how the insights gained from this reflective activity will influence your
future nursing practice. How will your enhanced understanding of advanced pathophysiology impact your
ability to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered care?
