Case study 2

 CASE STUDY 2- Reflecting on week 3’s lessons in the syllabus , select a patient population (pediatric, young adult, adult or geriatric), and briefly analyze a common chronic respiratory illness  (there are several to choose from), that may affect this population.  Briefly tell how it impacts the patient’s quality of life and analyze  the current research evidence on this topic and gold standard of care if  any for your chosen population. (You may use an example from your  clinical rotation (past or present) that you have encountered). Describe  how you, the FNP, can/or have made a difference in the care of patients  with this specific disease and tell of one specific patient care  teaching that he/she may do to help minimize disease symptoms. Please be sure to read and respond/comment on one of your colleagues posting.
