HLTAAP001 Case Study: Analysing HIV's Impact on Healthy Systems

This assignment presents a case study of Mrs. Smith, a 35-year-old female recently diagnosed with HIV, to assess understanding of healthy body systems and the impact of HIV. The assignment requires identifying the main body systems affected by HIV, listing common signs and symptoms, discussing common causes of health deterioration, and outlining supportive care needed for regaining normal body functioning. The student response identifies the immune, respiratory, digestive, and central nervous systems as primarily affected, detailing symptoms like flu-like sickness, cough, oral thrush, and memory impairment. Deterioration is attributed to the compromised immune system leading to opportunistic infections and digestive issues affecting nutrient intake. Supportive care includes managing infections, nutritional support, and addressing neurological symptoms. This case study helps evaluate the skills to explain the normal structure, function and location of the main body systems; connect the interrelationships between main components of each body system and other structures; maintain a healthy body; utilize and share information about healthy functioning of the body; examine several body systems affect; identify healthy functioning of body; understand basic structure and functions of the body systems; identify procedure, circumstances and resources needed by the body. Desklib offers similar solved assignments and past papers for students.

Part A : Mrs Smith – 35 old female recently diagnosed with HIV popsitive
A) Name the main body systems primarily effected by HIV.
Student response:
Some systems which are most effected due to HIV are,
 Immune system: Immune system is affected by the HIV the most as the virus
attacks the Immune system leaving the human body defence less to other bacteria,
viruses and other organisms. It can be said that HIV affects the immune system
the most and as the incubation period of the virus increases the severity of the
effects on the immunity system also increases.
 Respiratory system: The virus of HIV causes some respiratory problems in the
human body as it develops certain infections which can cause pneumonia. As the
immune system has been disabled the HIV can lead to the person catching other
advanced diseases that effects the Respiratory system of the human body
(Figueroa and et.al., 2018).
 Digestive systems: The effect of HIV on the human body also effects the immune
systems of the body as it becomes more susceptible to infections which have the
HLTAAP001 - Recognise healthy body systems Current Version: 26 May 2020

potential of affecting the digestive system of the human body.
 Central nervous system : Directly it is not possible for the HIV cells to affect
the nerve cells. However, it has the tendency to affect the support cells of the
nervous systems. Very severe case of HIV can result in neuropathy that is pain
and numbness in the feet and hands of the human.
Assessor Feedback: Outcome:
S ☐ NYS ☐
B) List the common sign and symptoms of the affected systems.
Student response:
Common symptoms of the affected systems are,
 Immune system : The symptoms in the immune system at the beginning is very
dismissed and not easy to notice. However, after a certain period the patient starts
to notice symptoms such as flu like sickness which lasts for a few weeks. This
stage is termed as the Acute infection stages. Later on in the next stage known as
Chronic HIV infections other symptoms like fatigue shortage of breath and cough
is also noticed.
 Respiratory system: Symptoms like cough, fever and pneumonia are common in
the HIV patient. Apart from that they also might develop conditions like lung
cancer. Due to the lack of immunity tuber tuberculosis and PAH pulmonary
arterial hypertension might also be developed resulting in the failure of heart
(Harding, 2018).
 Digestive systems: Common infection known as Oral thrush which is an
HLTAAP001 - Recognise healthy body systems Current Version: 26 May 2020

infection in the digestive system of HIV patient. Oral thrush that is the fungal
infection which causes inflammation and white patches do get developed in the
tongue are also the symptoms on digestive system.
 Central nervous system: Some common symptoms on central nervous from HIV
are the memory impairment, anxiety and depression. Other than that the
Toxoplasma encephalitis can also be a result of HIV. In a very few and cases
symptoms of hallucinations and frank psychosis can also be seen in some
patients.
Assessor Feedback: Outcome:
S ☐ NYS ☐
.c.C) What are two (2) common causes of deterioration in Mrs Smith health?
Student response:
Two of the most common cause of the deterioration of health in Mrs Smith who is HIV
positive are,
1. It affects on the immune system which has made the body of Mrs Smith
vulnerable to other conditions which can be very effective and at the same time
cause the person to develop other diseases. HIV has three different stages of lack
of immunity through which the patient goes through (Edwards and et.al., 2021).
Beginning from Acute infections, then Chronic HIV infection and the last and the
most lethal stage of AIDS in which the body becomes prone to every
opportunistic infection. It may be the reason why the health of Mrs Smith is
deteriorating.
2. The causes of HIV on the digestive systems is also very common in which the
patients develop a condition of Oral thrush that is fungal infections which causes
HLTAAP001 - Recognise healthy body systems Current Version: 26 May 2020

inflammation and white patches on the tongue of the patient. It also effects the
esophagus due to which the patient is unable to eat food. Not being able to eat
food means that the patient cannot provide its body the required energy for
survival. Lack of calories can soon be noticed as deterioration of health in the
human body. Also because of the low immunity the human body is so vulnerable
that its limits the food options for the patient as well.

.c.D) What supportive care client will need in order to regain his normal body
functioning?
Student response:
Supportive cares which can be provided to a patient of HIV are as follows,
Hospital care : For the patient which are infectious with HIV needs to be provided
Hospital care. In the hospital the plans for the patients can be made about their daily
routine and treatment, Hospital care will provide the patients with different diagnosis a
therapy as there is no single system for the care of HIV patients.
Outpatient care : The care for HIV patient needs to be both comprehensive and cost
effective. In this care appropriate inpatient facilitates are provided for the hospitalisation
of required essentials which are available only during the hospitalisation. It includes use
of physicians trained for general internal medicine and family practices (Adepoju,
2020).
Community based AIDS care : This kind of care occurs at the residence of the patient
with supplementing and replacing hospital care. This cares generally includes the
administration of medications with nursing the supervision that they can be utilised by
home based infusion of fluids and antibiotics. The home hospice programs are used for
HLTAAP001 - Recognise healthy body systems Current Version: 26 May 2020

delivering social support and palliative care in the terminal stages of the disease.
Other than that utilisation of volunteering agencies which can assist the patient care and
counselings of encouragement (Cooper and et.al., 2017). The patient should be
introduced to the AIDS care groups which are expert supporting as well as coordinating
the presently fragmented efforts.

Part B:
In a disability centre, you are looking after Mr john who recently had a motor vehicle
accident and sustained fracture of the femur.
A) Name the main body system included in the incident.
Student response:
 The fracture suffered in the Femur bone has effected the skeletal system of Mr
John. Skeletal system consists of the all the bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments
in the body. This main body system covers up to 20 % of the total persons body
weight. In total there are 206 bones in the human body. The bone structure in the
male and female skeleton is a little different as the male skeleton is usually longer
and has high bone mass and female skeleton on the other hand has broader pelvis
for accumulating the pregnancy and child birth (Kimbrel, 2018).
 The fracture that has occurred to Mr John on the femur bone which is considered
as the largest bone in the human body. Commonly it is known as the thigh-bone as
it reaches from the hip to the knee. As the position of this bone is on the legs of the
human, it causes severe pain if a person breaks their femur. It is impossible for the
personal be able to stand or even pull themselves in such a severe condition. Due
to the fracture it may look a little deformed which means shorter than the other leg
HLTAAP001 - Recognise healthy body systems Current Version: 26 May 2020

of the patient.
Assessor Feedback: Outcome:
S ☐ NYS ☐
B) List any four (4) bodily functions which have been impacted and how a
disability worker can contribute to prevent this?
Student response:
Bodily functions which are affected by the femur fracture in the patient body are,
 Support : Bone tissues in comparison to other tissues are very hard as it provides
the human body the hardness. Femur bone is the part of the skeletal system which
provides the body shape which will get deteriorated if there is a fracture in the
bone. The patient will require equipment which will allow them to keep the
structure intact after the fracture otherwise there are chances of misplacement in
fractures.
 Posture : Due to the fracture in the femur the posture of the human body gets
effected which is a function of the skeletal system. Structure generated from the
skeletal system is the result of the gesture that the humans maintain. The femur
fracture can cause the fractured leg to look shorted than the other legs of the patient.
This issue can also be solved by assisting the patient with equipment of fracture
care.
 Movement: The bodily function of proper movement, which is most specific
function in skeletal system among body is impacted a Mr John has been suffering
from fracture in femur. Due to fracture, effective walking practice will not be there.
For preventing this a disability worker need to provide proper assistance, where
walker will help to establish efficiency in walking.
 Storage of minerals: Bones within skeletal system also hold function to store
minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorous which releases energy
