Nocturia

Ahmed, a 68-year-old male comes into your clinic, complaining of weight loss and hip/pelvic pain over the past two months. He is an African-American man who migrated to Australia seven years ago. He describes worsening nocturia (five times per night) and admits to occasional blood streaked urine. He denies any urinary incontinence but states he has had a weak stream for many years. He lives with his wife, six children and mother, his father died 30 years ago of prostate cancer. The GP performs a digital rectal examination, where they find an enlarged asymmetrical, nodular prostate. Ahmed is subsequently diagnosed with stage four prostate malignancy, caused by a mutation in the BRCA1 gene. Task description: For this task you need to create a single slide (using PowerPoint) colour coded concept map and 750 word explanation, demonstrating analysis of the case study scenario emailed to you in week 1. A PowerPoint template file will be made available for you to customise based on your assigned case scenario. ? In your concept map you must: 1) Interpret the patient’s risk factors (from the case-study scenario) and determine how these risk factors relate to the diagnosed disease/disorder; 2) Outline the links between the aetiology, cellular pathology and the pathophysiology of the diagnosed disease; 3) Describe how the pathophysiology of the disease/disorder accounts for the patient’s clinical manifestations (described in the case-study scenario); and 4) Analyse and interpret evidence-based research to suggest appropriate diagnostic assessments and treatment modalities for the patient’s diagnosis.
