A 38-year-old female presents to the emergency room with complaints of dyspnea and left leg pain.  Patient reports that her left leg started feeling heavy a few days ago and has also been red since she returned from a recent trip.  She denies any injury to her leg.  She reports that she started having some dyspnea in the last 24 hours.  Patient history is remarkable for systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of recent airplane travel.  She is also taking oral birth control.  Her bp is 130/84, heart rate 100, R 24, and temp is 100.4F.  Physical exam reveals unilateral +2 pitting leg edema to left leg with erythema.
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:
The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient

The purpose of this health disparity assignment is to gather data, analyze the information, and develop a plan to decrease health disparities in a local county. You will construct a graphic representation and then develop a solution for a specific health problem of a vulnerable population. 
Construct a 5- to 8-page APA-style paper, plus the graphic representation as an appendix, using at least 3 peer-reviewed journals in addition to the statistic websites.
Address the following as you prepare your paper:
Using the most recent U.S. census data, create a demographic profile of the entire United States, the state of Georgia, and a county of your choosing using the following information:
Population
Racial/ethnic composition
Percentage of the population represented by various age groups, gender, and marital status
Percentage of the population at or below the poverty level
Leading causes of death
Construct a graphic representation comparing the demographics of the assigned county to the entire state of Georgia and the entire United States. (A graphic representation is a graph, pie chart, or colored map.) The content of the paper must include the following:
Introduction
Explanation of the statistics
Answer to the following questions:
Is there a difference in the demographics between the county and the state?
Is there a difference in the demographics between the county and the United States as a whole?
Are the differences related to the Social Determinants of Health? Why or why not?
Propose a solution to an identified health disparity.
Identify a specific racial/ethnic minority population present in the county.
Select a prominent health problem within the identified minority population.
Discuss the present status of the problem and the nature and future outlook of the problem.
Propose a solution to reduce or eliminate the health problem. (Integrate current health services and referral agencies in the county as part of the solution.)
Consider all aspects of client management decision making (financial, accessibility to resources, compliance, ethical, and desired outcome).
Support the chosen solution with evidenced-based practice.

The topic of the business plan is the change over for 9 beds in the step down unit to be changed to Stryker InTouch Critical Care Beds.The link to the bed is here:
https://www.stryker.com/us/en/acute-care/products/intouch.html
The beds cost $5482.00.
The benefit is early mobility, decreased HAPI (hospital acquired pressure injury), prevent falls, transport patients easily and overall improved outcomes. 
I need to speak to the cost it would save on pressure injuries and falls for ROI. 
I have to submit a budget spreadsheet with the essay as well, don’t have any specific numbers.
