These should be linked to the identified factors impacting the patient in the previous section. 5. Nursing care plan for an acute exacerbation (infographic):  • You are required to develop a nursing care plan that identifies two (2) acute issues, goals and interventions to manage the issues. • This is to be completed using the provided infographic template on LEO 6.  6.Justification of nursing care:  • You will provide your discussion and justification for the identified issues and interventions outlined in your nursing care plan.  7. References  . You will submit 2 parts:  1. The URL link for your website  2. The exported Word document which provides a time stamp of when you finished your website and submitted your work.  If a student is found to have edited their website and work after the submission date, their website will be compared to the uploaded Word version and marks will be deducted dependent on the significance of the changes, which may result in an allocation of 0 marks. FORMATTING  File format  The assessment will be completed using the program Microsoft Sway. You will also use the infographic template for your nursing care plan.

1. Justification and Epidemiology
	Identification of Chosen Disease: Aortic Stenosis
1.1 Rationale for Choosing Aortic Stenosis
	Due to its clinical importance and connection to the patient's medical history, aortic stenosis was selected as the project's main emphasis. We go into great detail on the causes and epidemiology of aortic stenosis below.
1.2. Prevalence and Clinical Significance
	The constriction (stenosis) of the aortic valve, which prevents blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta, is the hallmark of the valvular heart disease known as aortic stenosis (Pawade et al., 2019). The decision to use aortic stenosis for this research is justified for a number of reasons –
· Prevalence: One of the most prevalent valvular heart disorders, particularly in the older population, is aortic stenosis. It is frequently linked to age and aortic valve deterioration.
· Clinical Implications: Aortic stenosis affects the clinical landscape significantly. Chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and fainting are among symptoms that might develop as the illness worsens and have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life.
· Added Risk Factors: The 69-year-old patient in question has a history of hypertension and has smoked for 30 years (Kronenberg et al., 2022). Aortic stenosis is particularly important to his medical history because smoking and hypertension are risk factors for the onset and progression of the illness.
· Need for grasp: Because aortic stenosis can have potentially fatal effects, healthcare practitioners need to have a thorough grasp of the condition. For early identification, intervention, and management, this information is essential.
1.3. Overview of Epidemiological Data for Aortic Stenosis in the Australian Contex:
	Aortic stenosis affects people all around the world and is not exclusive to any one area of the world. However, in order to offer a localized viewpoint, it is imperative to take into account the Australian context –
· Prevalence in Australia: Although exact prevalence numbers may vary, it is believed that 2-7% of Australians 65 and older have aortic stenosis. The patient in question belongs to this high-risk group since the prevalence rises with age.
· Age Distribution: The majority of instances of aortic stenosis are diagnosed in patients over 65 years old, who also tend to be older people (Ternacle et al., 2019). The patient's age is consistent with this.
· Risk Factors in Australia: In the Australian population, aortic stenosis risk factors include age, as well as hypertension and a history of smoking, both of which apply to this patient.
· Impact on Healthcare System: Because it necessitates regular monitoring, interventions, and, occasionally, surgical treatments like valve replacement, aortic stenosis place a considerable load on the Australian healthcare system.
· Prognosis: Aortic stenosis, if left untreated, can result in serious problems, such as heart failure, which raises the need for medical services and resources.
2. Pathophysiology and Pharmacology
	The narrowing (stenosis) of the aortic valve is the defining feature of the valvular heart disease known as aortic stenosis. This constriction prevents blood from leaving the left ventricle and entering the aorta, which has a variety of negative cardiovascular effects. 
2.1. Valve Anatomy and Stenosis
· Regular Aortic Valve: The tricuspid aortic valve, which is situated between the left ventricle and the aorta, is normal (Fairbairn et al., 2022). During systole, it opens to enable blood to escape the left ventricle and into the aorta, and during diastole, it shuts to stop blood from returning to the ventricle.
