I. INTRODUCTIONA.OVERVIEW:
Cerebrovascular diseaseis a group of brain dysfunctions related to disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain.Hypertensionis the most important cause; it damages the blood vessel lining, endothelium, exposing the underlying collagen where platelets aggregate to initiate a repairing process which is not always complete and perfect. Sustained hypertension permanently changes the architecture of the blood vessels making them narrow, stiff, deformed, uneven and more vulnerable to fluctuations in blood pressure.A fall in blood pressure during sleep can then lead to a marked reduction in blood flow in the narrowed blood vessels causingischemic strokein the morning. Conversely, a sudden rise in blood pressure due to excitation during the daytime can cause tearing of the blood vessels resulting in intracranial hemorrhage. Cerebrovascular disease primarily affects people who are elderly or have a history of diabetes, smoking, or ischemic heart disease. The results of cerebrovascular disease can include astroke, or occasionally ahemorrhagic stroke.Ischemiaor other blood vessel dysfunctions can affect the person during a cerebrovascular incident.Atransient ischemic attack(TIA) leaves little to no permanent damage within the brain. The symptoms of this include facial weakness, visual impairment, loss of coordination, or balance, a sudden headache, and mental confusion with unintelligible speech. Severe blockage of the arteries to the brain is known ascarotid stenosis.Carotid artery affects retina, cerebral hemisphere, or both. Retinal Transient blackouts; the sense of a shade pulled over the eyes. Cerebral Contralateral (opposite sided) paralysis of a single body part; paralysis of one side of the body; localized tingling, numbness; hemianopic visual loss; aphasia (loss of speech); rare loss of consciousness. Vertebrobasilar Bilateral visual disturbance including dim, gray, or blurred vision or temporary total blindness; diplopia (double vision). Labyrinth/medulla Vertigo; unsteadiness; nausea; vomiting. Brainstem Slurring dysarthria (tongue weakness causing impaired speech); dysphagia (difficulty swallowing); numbness, weakness; all four limb paresthesia; drop attacks from sudden loss of postural tone are basilar in origin; a vertebrobasilar artery occlusion episode causes symptoms to be induced by abrupt position changes.
Cerebrovascular disease can be divided intoembolism,aneurysms, and low flow states depending on its cause. Major modifiable risk factors includehypertension,smoking,obesity, anddiabetes.The most common forms of cerebrovascular disease arecerebral thrombosis(40% of cases) andcerebral embolism(30%), followed bycerebral hemorrhage(20%).[2]Cerebrovascular disease is primarily one of old age; the risk for developing it goes up significantly after 65. CVD tends to occur earlier than Alzheimer's Disease (which is rare before the age of 80). In some countries such as Japan, CVD is more common than AD. CVD occurs more rarely in younger people due to conditions such assyphilisthat lead to artery damage and strokes.
B.OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDYAfter 1 hour of case presentation, I should be able to achieve the following objectives: 1. Present a thorough general health assessment of the client which includes physical assessment and family history taking.2. Effectively discuss and elaborate actual signs and symptoms of disease exhibited by the client.3. Thoroughly discuss, explain, and elaborate the nature of the disease process.4. Efficiently provide appropriate and proper nursing diagnosis in line with the clients medical condition.5. Skillfully formulate nursing care plans for the different problems identified.6. Appropriately provide nursing interventions according to the standards of nursing practice.7. Effectively apply the learned concepts and theories of disease.8. Efficiently appraise the effectiveness and efficacy of nursing interventions rendered to the client.9. Impart the outcome of the rendered nursing interventions.10. Convey the significance of clients response to the rendered nursing interventions.11. Correctly provide concise and concrete information with regards to the patients disease condition.12. Appropriately provide appropriate environment for learning.
C.Scope and LimitationThe limitation of this Case Presentation focused on the patient whom the researcher had rendered care with, in Northern Mindanao Medical Center Hospital during their 4 days duty in the Medical ward. Also the study follow the required concept in their midterms which is the neural disturbances since they cant find it in the Medical ward, hence, this patient is chosen by the researcher for a case presentation. This case study encompasses the concepts of the circulatory system. The data presented in this case was primarily obtained from student nurse-patient interaction as well as with the significant other who partly served as informant and is based on the patients chart. The student nurse was able to render care to the patient during the 16 hours of duty on May 26, 2013. During the course of this 2 day nursing care, the student nurse assess patient thoroughly, plan nursing care, implement plan of care and give health teachings. The scope of this statistics is only limited to the occurrence of the cerebrovascular disease in Northern Mindanao which comprises about 75.5% of the total population.II.

Sigmund FreudPsychosexual Development Theory - It is a theory of how our sexuality starts from a very young age.Genital Stage (Puberty-onwards): Libido reawakened as genital organs mature and focuses on relationships with members of the opposite sex.My patient was able to find a lifetime partner where they are happily living together with his 9 children.
TheoristTheoryStageResult and Justification
Erik Erikson
Psychosocial Development Theory - It describes 8 developmental stages through which a healthily developing human should pass from infancy to adulthood. In each stage the person confronts, and hopefully masters new challenges. Each stage builds on the successful completion of earlier stages. The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to reappear as problems in the future.Generativity Vs. Stagnation.(Ages 40-65)Achieve the life goals established for oneself while considering the welfare of future generations.
My patient has her own salary to support for his children who are in school and he had already 5 children who are married and can support their own family. He has able to maintain healthy lifestyle and able to accept childs mates.
TheoristTheoryStageResult and Justification
Robert Havighurst
Theory of Developmental Task- Learning is fundamental to life and in order to have a deeper insight on growth and development, one must understand it and recognize the premise that human being continues to learn throughout life. Happiness is being achieved when a particular task of a certain age is achieved by the person successfully but if not, failure occurs which is a feeling of unhappiness and disapproval from people surrounding the client.
(Ages 40-60)The following Tasks must be developed:Assisting teenage children to become responsible and happy adults, Achieving adult social and civic responsibility, Reaching and maintaining satisfactory performance in ones occupational career, Developing adult leisure time activities, Relating oneself to ones spouse as a person, To accept and adjust to the physiological changes of middle age, Adjusting to aging parents.
Five of the patients children are already married. He was there to guide them in their marriage life and helped them whenever there are problems. He depends on his income and works to earn money. His leisure activities are mainly watching TV and listening to radio. He also understands his current situation and is aware of the changes in his lifestyle. His wife and children were the one who takes care on him and has the responsibility on his current condition.
TheoristTheoryStageResult and Justification
Jean Piaget
Theory of Cognitive Development -A comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans come gradually to acquire it, construct it, and use it. Cognitive development is at the centre of human organism and language is contingent on cognitive development.Formal Operational Stage (Age 11-onwards).A person logically solves all types of problems; thinks scientifically; solves complex problems; cognitive structures mature.
My patient usually understands his situation but cannot directly identify solutions for his problems because he is paralyzed and unable to talk well due to CVA.

V. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY with ACTUAL PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
OverviewNothing in the world can compare with the human brain. This mysterious three-pound organ controls all necessary functions of the body, receives and interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence of the mind and soul. Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memories are a few of the many things governed by the brain.The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time. It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. It also determines how we respond to stressful situations (such as taking a test, losing a job, or suffering an illness) by regulating our heart and breathing rate.Nervous systemThe nervous system is divided into central and peripheral systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of spinal nerves that branch from the spinal cord and cranial nerves that branch from the brain. The PNS includes the autonomic nervous system, which controls vital functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate, and secretion of hormones.SkullThe purpose of the bony skull is to protect the brain from injury. The skull is formed from 8 bones that fuse together along suture lines. These bones include the frontal, parietal (2), temporal (2), sphenoid, occipital and ethmoid (Fig. 1). The face is formed from 14 paired bones including the maxilla , zygoma, nasal, palatine, lacrimal, inferior nasal conchae, mandible, and vomer. Inside the skull are three distinct areas: anterior fossa, middle fossa, and posterior fossa (Fig. 2). Doctors sometimes refer to a tumors location by these terms, e.g., middle fossa meningioma.Similar to cables coming out the back of a computer, all the arteries, veins and nerves exit the base of the skull through holes, called foramina. The big hole in the middle (foramen magnum) is where the spinal cord exits.BrainThe brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem (Fig. 3). Thecerebrumis the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. Thecerebellumis located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance. Thebrainstemincludes the midbrain, pons, and medulla. It acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing. Ten of the twelve cranial nerves originate in the brainstem.The surface of the cerebrum has a folded appearance called the cortex. The cortex contains about 70% of the 100 billion nerve cells. The nerve cell bodies color the cortex grey-brown giving it its name gray matter (Fig. 4). Beneath the cortex are long connecting fibers between neurons, called axons, which make up the white matter.Right brain left brainThe right and left hemispheres of the brain are joined by a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum that delivers messages from one side to the other. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body. If a brain tumor is located on the right side of the brain, your left arm or leg may be weak or paralyzed.Not all functions of the hemispheres are shared. In general, the left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing. The right hemisphere controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills. The left hemisphere is dominant in hand use and language in about 92% of people.Lobes of the brainThe cerebral hemispheres have distinct fissures, which divide the brain into lobes. Each hemisphere has 4 lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital (Fig 3). Each lobe may be divided, once again, into areas that serve very specific functions. Its important to understand that each lobe of the brain does not function alone. There are very complex relationships between the lobes of the brain and between the right and left hemispheres.Frontal lobe Personality, behavior, emotions Judgment, planning, problem solving Speech: speaking and writing (Brocas area) Body movement (motor strip) Intelligence, concentration, self awarenessParietal lobe Interprets language, words Sense of touch, pain, temperature (sensory strip) Interprets signals from vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory Spatial and visual perceptionOccipital lobe Interprets vision (color, light, movement)Temporal lobe Understanding language (Wernickes area) Memory Hearing Sequencing and organizationDeep structuresHypothalamus -is located in the floor of the third ventricle and is the master control of the autonomic system. It plays a role in controlling behaviors such as hunger, thirst, sleep, and sexual response. It also regulates body temperature, blood pressure, emotions, and secretion of hormones.Pituitary gland- lies in a small pocket of bone at the skull base called the sella turcica. The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus of the brain by the pituitary stalk. Known as the master gland, it controls other endocrine glands in the body. It secretes hormones that control sexual development, promote bone and muscle growth, respond to stress, and fight disease.Pineal gland- is located behind the third ventricle. It helps regulate the bodys internal clock and circadian rhythms by secreting melatonin. It has some role in sexual development.Thalamus- serves as a relay station for almost all information that comes and goes to the cortex (Fig. 5). It plays a role in pain sensation, attention, alertness and memory.Basal ganglia- includes the caudate, putamen and globus pallidus. These nuclei work with the cerebellum to coordinate fine motions, such as fingertip movements.Limbic system- is the center of our emotions, learning, and memory. Included in this system are the cingulate gyri, hypothalamus, amygdala (emotional reactions) and hippocampus (memory)HUMAN BRAIN WITH STROKEA stroke occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a portion of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells start to die after a few minutes. Sudden bleeding in the brain also can cause a stroke if it damages brain cells.If brain cells die or are damaged because of a stroke, symptoms occur in the parts of the body that these brain cells control. Examples of stroke symptoms include sudden weakness; paralysis or numbness of the face, arms, or legs (paralysis is an inability to move); trouble speaking or understanding speech; and trouble seeing.

VIII. REFERRALS AND FOLLOW-UPThe Clients recovery greatly depends on the interventions provided by the health care team and the willingness of the patient to understand and participate in the management of the illness. As a student nurse it doesnt end in the hospital premises. Discharge instructions must be given to the client and family to ensure compliance of drug regimen and comprehension of instructions.For more or better promotion and restoration of the patients health status, the patient should be referred to a nearby and accessible health care facility or hospital and for further assessment, consultation and management; the patient is referred to CESH.Instructions were also made regarding the clients follow- up medical check- up scheduled 1 week after discharge @ Camp Evangelista Station Hospital outpatient department .This is to monitor and ensure the clients recovery and improvement of health status.
IX. EVALUATION AND IMPLICATIONS At the end of the study the researcher was able to attain the goals that have set from the start of this study. Thorough gathering of data by means of physical assessment was met and through the gathered data I was able to identify some health problems and I was able to skillfully formulate nursing care plan that I had applied to our patient in actual. By means of reviewing, discussing and elaborating the affected anatomy and physiology of the body enables me to create interventions that could alleviate pain and any discomforts experienced by the patient. With the help of the patient's family, I was able to explore part of the patient's personality that also helps me in creating interventions appropriate for him. Cerebrovascular accidentorstroke (also calledbrain attack) results from sudden interruption of blood supply to the brain, which precipitates neurologic dysfunction lasting longer than 24 hours. This condition is preventable by means of healthy lifestyle, diet modifications, exercise and regular check ups. We all know that this disease is life threatening thats why in order to prevent this we should be careful and responsible of what we do.Lastly, the researcher was also grateful for having the opportunity to have the case study for she, not only gain knowledge but also enhanced her skills in the field of nursing by means of planning interventions and rendering care to the patient. The researcher was hoping that the readers would be more conscious and be more careful in taking care of their health to prevent conditions to persist.X.
