Pernicious Anemia

PROMPT 1 – Mr. Alvis, age 57, presented to his physician with marked fatigue, nausea with occasional diarrhea, and a sore, swollen tongue. Lately he also has been experiencing a tingling feeling in his toes and a feeling of clumsiness. Microscopic examination of a blood sample indicated a reduced number of erythrocytes, many of which are megaloblasts, and a reduced number of leukocytes, including many large, hyper segmented cells. Hemoglobin and serum levels of vitamin B12 were below normal. Additional tests confirm pernicious anemia.

Question 1

Relate the pathophysiology of pernicious anemia to the manifestations listed above.

Question 2

Discuss how the gastric abnormalities contribute to vitamin B12 and iron deficiency and how vitamin B12 deficiency causes complications associated with pernicious anemia.

Question 3

Discuss other tests that could be performed to diagnose this type of anemia.

Question 4

Discuss the treatment available and the limitations.

Atherosclerosis

PROMPT 2 – Mr. Kelly is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Question 1

Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

Question 2

Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient.

Question 3

Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

PLEASE FOLLOW RUBRIC. NO PLAGIARISM, ASSIGNMENT MUST MEET POST REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS RUBRIC IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED. WILL CHECK FOR PLAGIARISM AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IF PLAGIARISM IS DETECTED

In this assignment you will identify policy options, the intended outcome of the options, the criteria by which options are evaluated, and make your final recommendation.

To develop the policy options portion of the analysis, you will provide at least 3 alternatives for consideration. This section is not just a recitation of various choices; it provides an analysis of each option by stating the positives and negative aspects of pursuing each path. Your text provides some major actions policymakers use to deal with policy issues. Use these to prompt your thoughts. Make sure to keep the outcome of the proposed alternative in mind as you conduct the analysis.

In this section, you will also layout the decision or evaluation criteria you will use in making your recommendation. The text provides sample criteria for consideration in Box 14-2 on page 286.

Alternatively, Collins (2005) presents five criteria from the work of Rodriguez-Garcia (2000). These are:

Relevance: Does the intervention contribute to the health needs of the target population? Is it consistent with policies and priorities?

Progress: How do actual results compare with projected or scheduled results?

Efficiency: What are the results in relation to resource expenditure of the intervention?

Effectiveness: To what degree does this particular intervention attain its objectives?

Impact: What is the effect of the activity on the overall health and related socio-economic development?

Finally, you should choose one of your options as your recommendation. The recommendation section should begin by clearly identifying which option is favored and why the option is the preferred alternative. This section is not intended to repeat the information in the analysis, rather it explains why, despite any drawbacks, this is the best action going forward. Therefore, the section also identifies what, if any, actions can be taken to mitigate or overcome any negative aspects of the recommendation (Tietelbaum & Wilensky, 2015).

1. Review Chapter 14 of Essentials of Health Policy and Law.
2. Review information gathered for the Annotated Bibliography assignment in Workshop Two.
3. Prepare a 4-6 page paper addressing the Policy Options, Intended Outcomes, Decision Criteria, and Recommendations for the policy under consideration.
4. In the paper address the following:
   1. A minimum of 3 policy options designed to address the problem statement.
   2. Provides an analysis of each option by stating the positives and negative aspects of each.
   3. Address the potential outcome(s) associated with each intervention.
   4. Identify the decision criteria which you will use to evaluate each of the policy options.
   5. The policy recommendation, including why the policy option was chosen, and ways, if any, to mitigate negative aspects of the option
5. Be sure to consider the audience in the formulation of this Policy Options, Intended Outcome, Decision Criteria, and Recommendations section.
6. Use proper spelling, grammar, and APA formatting.
