Scenario 1:

The main factor of the pathophysiology for Jennifer is a marked pain in her throat. Her throat has become sore, specifically her cervical nodes (which is a sign clearly indicative of disease). Thus it is difficult to eat, which explains why she neglected to eat her breakfast. Another capital aspect of Jennifer’s pathophysiology which is particularly revealing is her fever, which is common in children (de Pont, 2015, p. 2). Initially her fever was low grade. However, in just a matter of days it exceeded 103 degrees. Her body is attempting to counteract the effects of the malady afflicting it via the fever. One of the foremost associated alterations of her adaptive responses is the current state of her skin. Her skin is desiccated and warm, which is indicative of the fever the child has experienced over the past couple of days. Her skin will likely continue to remain dry and warm as her fever temperatures increase if the root cause of her disease is not addressed. Other adaptive responses include the reddening of the tympanic membranes. This discoloration is both suggestive of the fever the girl is experiencing as well as of the general pain associated with her throat. Even the difficulty she has swallowing is emblematic of her associated alterations for the unnamed malady.

Scenario 2:

The functional changes which have occurred within Jack’s body are indicative... Jack’s hands have changed in color and in texture to the alteration to his body caused by the onset of the disease process from exposure to chemicals and abrasive solvents at his job. They have turned red to reflect some of the irritation which he has experienced. Moreover, the texture of his hands is also indicative of the pathophysiology of his exposure to these chemicals. Whereas his hands were smoother or more conventional in texture before, they have now become flaky. What is significant about these facts is that they are also demonstrative of the associated alterations of Jack’s adaptive responses. Some of those foreign agents he was exposed to at work have caused his hands to change color and texture. His adaptive response also includes a mild temperature variation in which his hands occasionally feel warmer than they once did. This fact is also representative of the irritation of his hands which is in response to the exposure to the aforementioned chemical agents. Another important factor about these associated alterations is that they correlate with time; the more time passes before Jack addresses this issue, the greater his symptoms will become.
