Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is for learners to review the pathology, assessment findings and pharmacologic treatment of assigned selected diagnoses.

Activity Learning Outcomes:

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

 

Describe the pathological processes of selected disorders.? (CO1)

 

Identify subjective and objective assessment?findings?for selected diagnoses.?(CO2,3)

 

Identify an appropriate evidenced-based pharmacologic management plan for a selected diagnosis.? (CO4)

 

Requirements:

 

Preparing the Assignment *What and How

 

Step 1: Review the assigned topics which are listed by birth month. For example, if your birthday month is January then your diagnosis would be conjunctivitis.

pharyngitis 

 

 

 

Step 2: For your assigned diagnosis, provide a brief 3-5 sentence pathophysiology summary, common patient signs and symptoms, the physical assessment findings, and pharmacologic recommendations for treatment. Include the multiple diagnoses found in your readings if applicable. (e.g.: viral, bacterial and allergic conjunctivitis). Provide 2 references in APA format beneath the table which support your work.

 

Your table should look like the following:
