Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

Maladaptive responses to disorders are compensatory mechanisms that ultimately have adverse health effects for patients. For instance, a patient’s allergic reaction to peanuts might lead to anaphylactic shock, or a patient struggling with depression might develop a substance-abuse problem. To properly diagnose and treat patients, advanced practice nurses must understand both the pathophysiology of disorders and potential maladaptive responses that some disorders cause.

Consider immune disorders, such as HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus E. What are resulting maladaptive responses for patients with these disorders?

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 in the Huether and McCance text, as well as the Yi, et al, article in the Learning Resources. Reflect on the concept of maladaptive responses to disorders.
  • Select two of the following immune disorders: HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and/or systemic lupus E (SLE).
  • Think about the pathophysiology of each disorder you selected. Consider the compensatory mechanisms that the disorders trigger. Then, compare the resulting maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders.
  • Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these disorders and why.
  • Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how your selected factor might impact the disorder. Then, reflect on how your selected factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.

Questions to be addressed in my paper:

  1. A brief description of the pathophysiology of the immune disorders you selected.
  2. Explain how the maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders differ.
  3. Then, describe the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these immune disorders and why.
  4. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of each disorder as well as the effects of prescribed drugs.
  5. Explain any measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.
  6. Summary with Conclusion

How, specifically, and to what degree should public administrators and public organizations be committed to workforce diversity

How, specifically, and to what degree should public administrators and public organizations be committed to workforce diversity? As a public administrator, how do you define diversity? How will these issues of diversity affect the functioning of public organizations in the future?

ANSWER THE ABOVE DISCUSSION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS EACH)

CLASSMATE’S POST

Public administrators and public organizations need to be committed to diversity.  This must be done organically, by diversifying the recruiting practices of the organization.  Forced diversity will lead to disaster as seen with Coca Cola.  Organic diversity, where recruiting brings in qualified people, will lead to better results.

Diversity for a public administrator should be defined as their organization closely matching the populace they serve.  For instance, if the populace is a 25/25/25/25 mix of races, the organization match this fairly close.  This applies to genders as well.  Organizations such as police and fire departments that are historically male must strive to add female employees to the ranks to further build social equity.

Having a diverse organization that matches the population served makes social equity easier to build.  Citizens can better relate to public organizations that align with that nationalities, genders, and backgrounds.
