Introduction (5 points)
Provide a brief introduction of your topic and include a discussion of why you chose it. You may use first person in this section.
Anatomy and Physiology of the Affected Organ(s) (5)
Discuss the normal structure and function of the organ(s) related to the disease you have chosen. For example in diabetes, discuss the normal structure and function of the pancreas. You can include reasonably-sized detail, diagrams, etc.
Pathophysiology / Etiology of the Disease (5)
Discuss what “malfunctions” during the normal function of the organ (pathophysiology). Then discuss what happens as a result of the organ malfunction and explain how this causes the disease (etiology).
Incidence and Prevalence of the Disease (5)
Discuss overall how many cases of the disease are there in the US today (Prevalence). Also discuss how many new cases are occurring annually (Incidence). Based on the I&P, reflect on the magnitude/severity of the problem and its economic burden on society and the health of our nation.
Mortality Rates (5)
This section is somewhat similar to the above section, but I want you to reflect on how many people are dying/will die of this disease annually. Include a discussion – if appropriate – related to the comorbidities of this disease. (For example, people don’t usually die of diabetes – they may die of heart disease that has occurred as a result of being a poorly controlled diabetic. Provide any age-adjusted death rate or trending data if available.
Risk Factors (5)
Identify and discuss the risk factors for this disease. Who is at risk? What are the risk factors? Which risk factors are modifiable vs. non-modifiable? How does one change or modify the “modifiable” risk factors?
Primary Intervention
Health Promotion (5)
Provide a discussion related to the topics that would need to be considered when educating a client on how to stay healthy, avoid developing risk factors, how to recognize when to seek care. Include standards of care for health promotion r/t your chosen topic. Don’t forget to educate clients regarding the normal function of the affected organ and what happens when it malfunctions.
Disease Prevention (5)
Discuss strategies for the prevention of this disease. Identify what factors can be changed or modified to present individuals from developing the disease. Include standards of care for disease prevention r/t your chosen topic.
