The paper will also prioritize the needs of the patients, and how diverse medical strategies will be encompassed as the diagnosis and intervention processes. Because of the medical history of Peter and Cynthia, the doctors outlined some of the medical requirements that will be essential for their health. These were used to determine the kind of diagnosis significant to the individuals. Specifically, fibroids and benign prostatic hyperplasia were the problems of the patients. Their diagnostic strategies will, therefore, depend on the type of problems. This may have led to the development of other chronic illnesses and finally the uterine fibroids. However, due to her presenting condition, the patient is observed to be having a critical condition during her stay in the ward. Thus, uterine fibroids are the presenting condition affecting the patient.
Based on a brief overview of the patient’s condition that is the uterine fibroids, this is the kind of a chronic illness that affect women of specific ages (Stewart, 2001). This is the noncancerous growth of the uterus that develops in women especially during the years of childbearing. Therefore, one of the symptoms of uterine fibroid illness is the development of pain and pelvic pressure. Due to the size and the number of fibroids, it causes the uterus to expand and have a lot of pressure that case pains in the stomach. That is why the patients suffering from the uterine fibroids usually develop much pain in the uterus walls and some parts of the stomach (Bulun, 2013). Another symptom is the frequent urination. According to the observation, Cynthia has been experiencing this symptom during her stay in the ward under my care.
According to the history of Cynthia, it has been found that she has other children in other locations besides her son who presently stays with her in a rural location. This might have been on the causes of her development of uterine fibroids. Hormones are other factors that promote the growth of uterine fibroids in women. According to the study, the decrease in hormones decreases the production of fibroids while the increase stimulates the production and multiplication of fibroids. This happens especially during the menstrual periods in women where the uterine lining is formed. However, co-morbidities and lifestyle can influence the development of uterine fibroids (Greenberg & Kazamel, 1995). This can be observed through the vital signs. For instance, if the lifestyle of the patient is thriving and pleasurable, the vital signs of uterine fibroids will not be recognized.
This is because the patient controls his or her status by encompassing it with the luxurious life that brings happiness instead of depression. Therefore, lifestyle can affect the condition of the patient because of the level of depression (He, et al. Besides using the ABCD as the methods of prioritizing the patient, clinical reasoning is another priority that will be deliberated. This will encompass the patient’s information and clues. By so doing, it will help in knowing the outcomes and what the patient needs for the quick recovery. By deliberating all the methods and priorities of the patient, the changes observed shows that the presenting condition of the patient is better than before. This is because the interventions are done. Conclusion Cynthia was one of the patients that I analyzed according to their vital signs and symptoms of uterine fibro.
The paper, therefore, analyzed the causes, symptoms, and signs of uterine fibroid according to the presenting condition of the patient. Generally, Cynthia had the kind of illness that developed due to a number of reasons including depression and lifestyle. This was according to the history of the patient before being admitted to the hospital under my care. Moreover, the priorities of the patient have also been discussed that include the encompassment of Airway Breathing Circulation Disability (ABCD) to help the patient.
