Pathophysiology for selected disease and clinical manifestation

Pathophysiology for selected disease and clinical manifestation

Pathophysiology for selected disease and clinical manifestation

For Milestone One of the final project, you will choose a well-known individual from history or current popular literature who has a known physiological—as opposed to psychiatric or psychological—disease

or illness of interest for instructor approval. You will introduce your chosen individual, describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, and explain the clinical manifestations.

Prompt: Identify your selected case describing how the normal physiology is changed by the disease state. In addition, define pathophysiology, the clinical manifestations (i.e., signs and symptoms), and how each of these can be explained by alteration in physiology. Finally, a discussion of the extent to which the clinical manifestations affect multiple body systems for the case should be included in this first milestone for the final project in this course.

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and any sources cited in APA format.

NUR 315 Milestone Two: Draft Guidelines and Rubric

In Milestone Two, you will submit a draft of your final project. In Milestone One of the final project, you will have chosen a well-known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, who has a known physiological—as opposed to psychiatric or psychological—disease or illness. In Milestone Two, you will analyze that disease or illness using a systematic approach. You will also develop a plan of care for that disease or illness. Prompt: In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical explanations for variations in findings (when applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collectively for system analysis. Your plan of care should utilize the PIE (planning, intervention, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include at least two short-term and two long-term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypothetical target date or time. The intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals and that are specific in action and frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based on those measures. You may write the plan of care in either narrative format or as a table with appropriate in-text citation used to support the plan of care. Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as at least a 6 to 10 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two peer-reviewed sources cited in APA format. Critical Elements Proficient (100%) Needs Improvement (75%) Not Evident (0%) Value Introduction Thoroughly introduces the individual and the associated pathophysiology by defining and describing how the pathophysiology changes normal state, and defining and assessing the clinical manifestations Briefly identifies and introduces the chosen individual, defines and describes how the pathophysiology changes normal state, and defines and assesses the clinical manifestations, or one of these elements is missing Does not introduce the individual, define or describe the pathophysiology, or assess the clinical manifestations, or more than one of these elements is missing 15 History Comprehensively describes historical explanations for variations in pathophysiology, identifies physiological stressors and mechanisms that affect the course of the disease, and assesses historical impact of patient care technology Briefly describes historical explanation for variation, identifies physiological stressors and mechanisms that affect the course of the disease, and assesses historical impact of patient care technology, or one of these elements is missing Does not describe historical explanation, identify physiological stressors or mechanisms, or assess the historical impact of patient care technology, or more than one of these elements is missing 15
