Question

Which mini-concept map do you think best describes accurate linkage between underlying pathophysiology and signs and symptoms (S S) described in this scenario?

2) History of heart disease in familypatient worries about it constantlybecomes anxioussmokes too muchnicotine causes narrowing of all arteries in body, including coronariesheart attack from narrowed coronaries.

Answer 1

Mini-concept map number 3, which includes high levels of fat in the blood, clogs in coronary arteries, and chest pain, best describes the accurate linkage between underlying pathophysiology and signs and symptoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mini-concept map that best describes the accurate linkage between underlying pathophysiology and signs and symptoms in this scenario is number 3:

• High levels of fat in the blood from high-fat diet
• clogs in coronary arteries develop over time
• oxygenated blood cannot get to distal tissues of heart
• unoxygenated tissues "cry out" (send pain messages to brain)
• patient complains of chest pain.

This mini-concept map explains how the high levels of fat in the blood from a high-fat diet lead to the development of clogs in the coronary arteries. As a result, oxygenated blood cannot reach the distal tissues of the heart, leading to the tissues sending pain messages to the brain. This ultimately leads to the patient experiencing chest pain.
