HCR 240 Module 5 Learning Guide MODULE REFLECTION – In the box below, reflect on the course material & activities for this module. If you did not complete all the activities, did you have any questions or comments relating to this? What content did you find the most interesting and why? This should be a 4-5 sentence paragraph. I thankfully did not have too many questions on this weeks module. I found the concepts to be quite interesting and insgihfutl in how certain diseasees might affect the body. There clinical presentations as well as their signs and symptoms provided insights into how certain conditions affect the body. Also by understanding the how these diseases are diagnosised and the treatment plans that are involved to treat them helps me to better identify the disease or disorder. MODULE 5 DISORDERS OR DISEASES Diseases to know for Module 5, include etiology, typical signs and symptoms, diagnostic testing, and general treatment (or prognosis). Use your textbook and/or supplemental PowerPoint for the completion of this table. Complete sentences are NOT required. It is important to be succinct in your analysis of each disease and choose the most important components to look for in a clinical setting. For this reason, do not include more than 5 different components in each box. Disease or Disorder (Chapter) Etiology (cause) Pathophysiology difficulty swallowing related difficulty/pain when to structural or neurological swallowing impairment. higher risk of aspiration Dysphagia (Ch. 29) Signs & Symptoms of Disease (Clinical Presentation) / Risk Factors pooling of liquids in the back of the throat frequent coughing while eating Diagnosis / Treatment (General) barium
