rubic: Pathophysiological condition I choose to study is Ulcers<\/p>\n
This project is an in-depth investigation of a health condition. It will allow for the expansion of knowledge and the ability to generalize larger concepts to a variety of health conditions.<\/p>\n
Course outcomes:<\/strong> This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.<\/p>\n 1. Explain the pathophysiologic processes of select health conditions. (PO 1)<\/p>\n 2. Predict clinical manifestations and complications of select disease processes. (PO 1, 8)<\/p>\n 3. Correlate lifestyle, environmental, and other influences with changes in levels of wellness. (PO 1, 7)<\/p>\n Due date: <\/strong>Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.<\/p>\n Total points possible: <\/strong>100 points<\/p>\n Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.<\/p>\n 1) Select a disease process that interests you.<\/p>\n 2) Obtain approval of the selected disease process from the course faculty.<\/p>\n a. Faculty will share how to submit your topic choice for approval.<\/p>\n 3) Write a 2-3-page paper (excluding title and reference pages).<\/p>\n 4) Include the following sections about the selected disease process (detailed criteria listed below and in the Grading Rubric).<\/p>\n a. Introduction of disease – 10 points\/10%<\/p>\n \u2022 One paragraph (approximately 200 words)<\/p>\n \u2022 Includes disease description<\/p>\n \u2022 Includes epidemiology of disease<\/p>\n b. Etiology and risk factors – 20 points\/20%<\/p>\n \u2022 Common causes of the disease or condition<\/p>\n \u2022 Risk factors for the disease or condition<\/p>\n \u2022 Impact of age<\/p>\n \u2022 Prevalence based on gender,<\/p>\n \u2022 Influence of environment<\/p>\n \u2022 Genetic basis of disease<\/p>\n \u2022 Lifestyle influences<\/p>\n \u2022 All information supported by current literature<\/p>\n c. Pathophysiological processes – 20 points\/20%<\/p>\n \u2022 Describes changes occurring at the cellular, tissue, and\/or organ level that contribute to the disease process.<\/p>\n \u2022 Describes adaptation of the cells and body in response to the disease.<\/p>\n \u2022 Relates disease processes to manifested signs and symptoms.<\/p>\n d. Clinical manifestations and complications – 20 points\/20%<\/p>\n \u2022 Describes the physical signs and symptoms that are important in considering the presence of the disease.<\/p>\n \u2022 Identifies signs that contribute to diagnosis of the condition<\/p>\n \u2022 Identifies symptoms that contribute to diagnosis of the condition.<\/p>\n \u2022 Identifies complications of the disease.<\/p>\n \u2022 Discusses the implications to the patient when complications are left untreated.<\/p>\n e. Diagnostics – 10 points\/10%<\/p>\n \u2022 Includes list of common laboratory and diagnostic tests used to determine the presence of the disease.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 Discusses the significance of test findings in relation to the disease process.<\/p>\n f. Interview – 10 points\/10%<\/p>\n \u2022 Once the student has become familiar with the disorder, it is their responsibility to locate an individual living with the disease process to interview (interviewee). It is recommended that you find an individual first, then complete research and writing on the topic prior to performing the interview.<\/p>\n \u00a7 The interviewee must be at least 18 years old and able to answer questions by themselves<\/p>\n \u00a7 The interviewee must currently have the chronic disease\/disorder. If an interviewee has been diagnosed with a disease\/disorder but has NO manifestations or complications related to the disorder they DO NOT qualify for the assignment.<\/p>\n \u00a7 Acute infections\/diseases DO NOT qualify (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, flu, colds).<\/p>\n \u00a7 The interviewee cannot be a patient from the clinical setting or a patient from your work environment (hospitals, doctor\u2019s office, LTC facility, home health, etc.)<\/p>\n \u00a7 The interviewee may be a relative, friend, colleague, or stranger. <\/p>\n \u00a7 Please use the individual\u2019s own words in relation to their experience with the disease\/disorder.<\/p>\n \u2022 NOTE:<\/strong> This assignment is for educational purposes only. Students are NOT to provide any medical\/nursing advice or education to interviewees. Refer interviewee questions to their physician.<\/p>\n \u2022 Interview Questions<\/p>\n \u00a7 What is the age of the individual being interviewed? What is the relationship of the individual to you? How long have they had the disorder? <\/p>\n \u00a7 What clinical manifestations of the disorder does the individual experience? How does it compare to what you discovered in your resources?<\/p>\n \u00a7 What complications of the disorder does the individual experience? How does this compare to what you discovered in your resources?<\/p>\n \u00a7 What other medical conditions\/disorders has the individual been diagnosed with? Do their other medical conditions have any effect on the chosen disorder?<\/p>\n \u00a7 How does the disease affect the individual\u2019s daily living\/activities? (repeat hospitalizations, has to take a lot of meds, any activity restrictions, a lot of appointments?)<\/p>\n \u00a7 How does the disease\/disorder affect the individual\u2019s outlook on life? (Feel like a burden to family, do they have good family support, feel hopeless, optimistic, good coping mechanisms?)<\/p>\n \u00a7 What did you learn from interviewing the individual?<\/p>\n g. APA Style and Organization – 10 points\/10%<\/p>\n \u2022 References are submitted with assignment.<\/p>\n \u2022 Uses current APA format and is free of errors.<\/p>\n \u2022 Grammar and mechanics are free of errors.<\/p>\n \u2022 Paper is 2-3 pages, excluding title and reference pages.<\/p>\n \u2022 At least two (2) scholarly, primary sources from the last 5 years, excluding the textbook, are provided. <\/p>\n For writing assistance, visit the Writing Center.<\/p>\n Please note<\/strong> that your instructor may provide you with additional assessments in any form to determine that you fully understand the concepts learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" rubic: Pathophysiological condition I choose to study is Ulcers Purpose This project is an in-depth investigation of a health condition.
