DTH107 Determine Health Assessment 1: Case Study – Care Action
The steps in the action plan for Rob Carrington are listed on the following pages. At each step, there are a
number of questions you must respond to. Questions 1-14 relate to Rob’s situation.
Read these questions and take note of the information or actions that need to be addressed at each step.
Then, respond in the spaces provided.
Step 1 Definition
Rob hasofpresented
Health Disorder
with a number of issues and symptoms; some of which are acute,
Question 1 some of which are chronic. In the table below, list which items are either chronic or
acute.
Acute Issue Chronic Issue
Of Rob’s issues, which should be dealt with first; acute or chronic? Explain why in 50
Question 2
words.
Response... Acute issues should be dealt with first, because they develop and deteriorate rapidly
as compared to chronic. If left untreated, the acute illness can transmute in to a
chronic illness. Additionally, after resolution of acute symptoms, the status of chronic
disease can be better analysed.
List five (5) body systems that are affected by Rob’s situation, and briefly note their
Question 3 purpose or function. Related to Robs chronic/ acute presenting issues.
Referencing required
Response... Type II Diabetes affects: 1. CNS (causes peripheral retinopathy)
Dietary habits (beer and fast food) and sedentary life style can affect: 4. GI (May lead to
dyspepsia, GERD)

Response... Respiratory system: when a person is normal, he/she don`t face any difficulty in breathing,
whereas Mr Rob is facing difficulty in breathing.
The body consists of different levels of structural organisation and complexity. In 100 words,
describe how each of the following items combine to make up the human body. In your response,
specify what the different types of muscle tissue are and how human body systems are formed at a
cellular level.
Referencing required
Question • Atoms
5 • Molecules
• Cells
• Organs
• Muscle tissue
• Human Body systems
Response... Atoms are smallest representatives of elements. e.g. Hydrogen is found in more than half of the
body proteins. Atoms together form molecules. Phospholipid is a molecule that forms cell
membranes, which with nucleus and cytoplasm make cells. Cells combine to form tissues, e.g.
muscle. Muscle tissues are: smooth, skeletal and cardiac. Smooth muscle together forms the
involuntarily functioning hollow organs e.g. uterus. Skeletal muscle is considered an organ itself,
which forms the voluntary skeletal system and the cardiac muscle makes up myocardium of the
heart, an organ, which is an integral part of the cardiovascular system.

ROB has type 2 diabetes. In 50 words discuss the process of carbohydrate metabolism, including
your understanding of anabolism and catabolism.
Referencing required
Question 7 Response...
:- The process of glycolysis is catabolic in nature that yields either pyruvate or lactate depending on the
oxygen concentration. The product is subject to the catabolic Citric Acid Cycle and oxidative
phosphorylation. For the formation of new glucose, anabolic processes, gluconeogenesis and pentose
phosphate pathways are employed.

Prognosis
In 150 words,
9A: Define the acute event that Rob is presenting with.
Question 9 9B. The effects it has on the various body systems. Include potential signs and symptoms.
9C. The impact this could have on wellbeing and Rob’s health.
Referencing required
Response... Rob`s acute event is Myocardial Infraction or Chest tightness, caused by blockage of
coronary arteries and veins. It damages the cardiac muscles as it hinders the blood flow
of the respective area/s.
Respiratory system is also affected by this as there might be a fluid retention in lung
which can cause infection which will be accompanied by shortness of breath.
This will act as a hinderer in his daily living because his suffer continually from shortness
of breath, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness or pain in chest which may radiate to limbs
as well.

In 50 words explain the process of osmosis including osmotic and hydrostatic forces.
Referencing Required
Question 17
Osmosis is the movement of fluidfrom an area of high osmotic strain to a locale of low osmotic
tension through semi-penetrable membrane. Osmotic force applies a ''pulling'' power on the fluid by
virtue of solutes. Hydrostatic force applies ''pushing'' force on the fluid by virtue of greater volume.
Response... Renal acidosis is the point at which the blood pH falls beneath 7.35 and alkalosis is
the point at which the blood pH is above 7.35. In renal acidosis, the urine pH is
more prominent than 5.5.
