This importance is magnified by the impact that that this system may have on another. A variety of factors and circumstances affecting the emergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the performance of the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutual impact. For example, patient characteristics such as, racial and ethnic variables can play a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in musculoskeletal systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RESOURCES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.<br>Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/waldenu.instructure.com\/courses\/94705\/modules\/items\/3337987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WEEKLY RESOURCES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study scenario for this Case Study Assignment.
