Week 4 Assignment  

Selected Diagnosis Synthesis Assignment

Purpose

This assignment is an in-depth investigation of a selected diagnosis which includes the pathophysiology, health assessment and pharmacology components. 

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

1.  Summarize the epidemiology, etiology and risk factors of the assigned diagnosis. (CO 1,3)

2. Explain the pathophysiologic processes of select health conditions. (CO 1)?

3. Distinguish clinical manifestations and complications for select disease processes. (CO1, 2, 3)?

4. Identify appropriate evidence-based therapeutic treatment for select health conditions utilizing drugs from the major drug classes. (CO 4) ?

This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus.

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.

In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student's appeal. Consideration of the student's total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.

 Preparing the Paper:

The Selected Diagnosis Synthesis assignment is worth 150 points and will be graded on the quality of the content, use of citations, use of Standard English grammar, sentence structure, and overall organization based on the required components as summarized in the directions and grading criteria/rubric.

Submit the paper as a Microsoft Word Document, which is the required format at Chamberlain University. You are encouraged to use the APA Academic Writer when creating your assignment.

Follow the directions below and the grading criteria located in the rubric closely. Any questions about this paper may be posted under the Q & A Forum or emailed to your faculty.

The length of the paper should be 2-3 pages, excluding title page and reference page(s). The title and reference pages should be in APA format.
