Week 6: Dermatologic and Musculoskeletal Disorders - Discussion Part Two Loading... This week's graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs). 1 Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms as... sociated with selected disease states. (PO 1) 2 Differentiate the epidemiology, etiology, developmental considerations, pathogenesis, and clinical and laboratory manifestations of specific disease processes. (PO 1) 3 Examine the way in which homeostatic, adaptive, and compensatory physiological mechanisms can be supported and/or altered through specific therapeutic interventions. (PO 1, 7) 4 Distinguish risk factors associated with selected disease states. (PO 1) 5 Describe outcomes of disruptive or alterations in specific physiologic processes. (PO 1) 6 Distinguish risk factors associated with selected disease states. (PO 1) 7 Explore age-specific and developmental alterations in physiologic and disease states. ( Johnny is a 5-year-old Asian boy who is brought to a family practice office with a “runny” nose that started about 1 week ago but has not resolved. He has been blowing his nose quite frequently and “sores” have developed around his nose. His mother states, “The sores started as ‘big blisters’ that rupture; sometimes, a scab forms with a crust that looks like “dried maple syrup” but continues to seep and drain.” She is worried because the lesions are now also on his forearm.
