Her disease history of peptic cancer could not allow her to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and instead receives a medication, which assisted her to have pain relief such as Acetaminophen, which did not bring much change. She was injected with corticosteroids for This study source was downloaded by 100000852290574 from CourseHero.com on 02-01-2023 04:04:28 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/85667722/iHuman-Patient-Refectiondocx/ iHUMAN PATIENT REFLECTION 2 pain relief. She later underwent an evaluation of orthopedic for analysis of total knee replacement, which was successful and now takes acetaminophen and physical therapy to manage occasional pain. According to Migliore et al., (2019), osteoarthritis (OA) remains a common rheumatic disease that remains prevalent among the adult population of eleven 11 percent for hip and 24% for knee OA. Among the elderly, OA is a common cause of disability comprising pain, limitations of activities and social contribution. With increasing life expectancy, the number of people suffering from the condition might increase. After reviewing the expert feedback, I have discovered that the correct diagnosis of the disease should encompass a classification of the problem category, which was musculoskeletal and the selected differential diagnoses identified as arthritis, rheumatoid. However, the missing aspects were the diseases specified by the case author. Therefore, according to the feedback, there was a need for differential diagnosis of the pseudogout condition (Sarii et al., 2019) which can present with redness and warmth, pain and swelling. The referenced article has greatly assisted to learn about evidencebased recommendations and guidelines for managing knee OA. The article has listed these options and addressed how patients and physicians can get satisfaction from managing the condition. The article calls for a change in therapeutic strategies. From the article, I have learned about a theory that can support clinical decision making such as in our case study. The article discusses the treat-to-target principle, which is grounded upon defining a specific target and has been developed together with a comprehensive therapeutic plan targeted at achieving low disease activity via a tight control of the disease. The theory will answer the question of whether patients and physicians are satisfied with the current KOA management. I will use the information from the article in my future intervention to count the number of swollen and painful joints, genetic inflammation indexes and general This study source was downloaded by 100000852290574 from CourseHero.com on 02-01-2023 04:04:28 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/85667722/iHuman-Patient-Refectiondocx/ iHUMAN PATIENT REFLECTION 3 patient status in the everyday practice of measuring disease activity. The evidence-based study is of great importance as it will assist me to find a therapeutic target that considers disease activity, severity and attaining the expectation of the patient. [Show More]
