Assignment Instructions
The task: You are tasked with working on a small case study to extend your knowledge in the
anatomy and physiology related to the case study. The case study represents a disruption to
homeostasis. There are several case studies to choose from and you should choose one case
study that best fits your interests and career goals.
In your written assignment you must identify and discuss the anatomy and physiology associated
with your case study and how it varies from the “normal” anatomy and physiology. To do this you
MUST demonstrate an understanding of how the human body systems and organs normally
function to maintain homeostasis and subsequently describe what goes “wrong” with physiology
and/or anatomical structures. For example what is the role of the gall bladder in a healthy person (Bile storage and secretion), how does a disease such as gall stones affect its normal function
(blocks the bile duct) and how does this affect the person’s physiology (fat metabolism is
disrupted). In your essay you must have a multifaceted approach (eg multiple organs and
multiple organ systems) and discuss how they integrate (integrate = how does a disruption to
homeostasis in the CV system affect the respiratory system?). Inclusion of graphs, images and
flow charts does not contribute to word count.
Word Count: The maximum word count is 1,500 words (non-negotiable; NO +10%; maximum of
1,500 words excluding title page, headings, figures and captions, and reference list).
Due dates and weighting:

You do not need to include diagnosis, prognosis or treatments in your assignment. Anatomy and
physiology is the focus of the assignment.

Read through the following and chose one of the case studies
Case Study Option # 1: Pneumonia:
Samreet contracts a zoonotic disease which causes pneumonia. Unfortunately, Samreet
develops a mild fever and cough and in addition Samreet experiences acute pulmonary
hypertension during the illness. The doctor advises to stay in bed until the illness passes.
Systems in focus: Respiratory, immune, cardiovascular
Specific questions to consider:
What structural and functional aspects of the lungs are impacted by pneumonia?
How does the immune system identify and respond to the pathogens?
How and why does pneumonia affect pulmonary blood pressure?

Case Study Option #2: Methanol poisoning:
Unbeknownst to Mark, a small brewery had mislabeled their new 80% methanol hand sanitizer
product line as Gin. Mark consumed his purchase and becomes ill within 10 minutes. Mark is
admitted to hospital with metabolic acidosis, increased blood lactate, impaired kidney function
and respiratory distress. Luckily Mark’s case is mild, and he recovers within a day without
treatment.
Systems in focus: Renal, blood, respiratory
Specific questions to consider:
How will the body respond to the acute metabolic acidosis?
How is glomerular filtration rate affected by the illness?
Why is respiratory function impaired?
Case Study Option # 3: Rabdomyolysis:
Jamal wants to improve his fitness, and attends his first spin cycling class at a local gym. The
exercise intensity is very high, and Jamal’s legs feel very sore after the session. Over the next
two days, Jamal’s legs begin throbbing and his urine turns dark. Jamal’s has elevated venous
myoglobin and creatine kinase, and has a reduced glomerular filtration rate. Jamal is diagnosed
with a mild case of rabdomyolysis, though recovers in a few days with bed rest.
Systems in focus: Skeletal muscle, renal, cardiovascular
Specific questions to consider:
What structural/functional skeletal muscle abnormalities occur with Jamal’s condition? What role do ion channels play in this process?
How are renal processes impaired by the condition?
How can electrolyte balance be disturbed by the condition?

Introduction:
The Joint Commission requires a root cause analysis for all sentinel events. These analyses can
be of enormous value. They capture both the big-picture perspective and the details. They
facilitate system evaluation, analysis of need for corrective action, and tracking and trending.
Managers will be able to determine how often a particular error occurs or how often a particular
floor or unit of the hospital is involved. This information may provide clues to the problem. A root
cause analysis is very useful and important especially in near-miss scenarios. The technique is
applicable not only to laboratory medicine but also to other healthcare-associated disciplines.

Task:
A. Provide a summary of the following aspects of a root cause analysis related to the sentinel
event found in the attached Accreditation Audit Case Study – Task 2 Specific artifacts by doing
the following:
1. Describe the sentinel event.
2. Explain the roles (i.e. responsibilities, etc.) of the personnel present during the sentinel event.
3. Discuss the barriers that may impede effective interaction among the personnel present during
the sentinel event.
a. Propose ways to improve interactions among the personnel present.
4. Discuss a quality improvement tool to be used to conduct the root cause analysis.
B. Outline a corrective action plan to ensure that the sentinel event does not recur by doing the
following:

1. Recommend a risk management program or process change to ensure that the sentinel event
does not recur.
a. Discuss resources available to support these changes.
C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the level of detail or support called for
in the rubric refers to those bulleted points.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link
included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission
MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct
quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not
been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.
Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely
paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.
