Question

I am working at a case study but only the pathophysiology part.
a case study to a patient suffering from Tuberculosis stage 3, and just undergone pleural effusion.
it is a group work actually. the "pathophysiology" was assigned to me.
how am i gonna start it?it's my first-time to do such study.
we were told to do the book-based and patient-based pathophysiology..
the patient said, she was hospitalized way back months ago, diagnosed with "bronchitis",
then the clinic doctor gave her medicines but did not do anygood with her condition.she was hospitalized for a week.
then was referred to a certain doctor in a hospital..undergone pleural effusion and later diagnosed TB stage3..

Are u a filipino student nurse?!

Nothing just asking...anyway,

You could try searching the Library about the Tubreculosis on Pathophysiology books.

If in any instance that you study in RTRMS, try the 9th floor doctor's library on MMC, it has lots of books about infectious diseases.

But if you don't know anything I'm talking about, I say you refer to all the Pathophysiology books that you get your hands on in the Library and start looking for Tuberbulosis. Having lots of references will help you in research, and not the short cuts that you are doing here. Anyway, I also do case studies about bronchopneumonia with bronchial asthma in acute exacerbation and reading a lot of books helped me in tracing the pathophysiology of the disease. Hope I helped. Good luck in your case.
