Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media . Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis.

Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.IMPORTANTLY: Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis.
