Pathophysiology Paper: You will be presented a pathology that is applicable to the systems we have covered and will be assigned by your instructor
GASTRITIS is the topic
RULES ARE POSTED BELOW AS WELL A OUTLINE EASY TO FOLLOW!
NEED HELP PLEASE REACH OUT
Purpose: The purpose of the project is to serve as an artifact, showing that students have demonstrated achieving the competency of scientific literacy.
This assignment specifically addresses the following Galen College of Nursing General Education Competencies: 2. Communication. 3. Information Literacy. 4. Critical Thinking. 5. Scientific Literacy.
You will need to work on this assignment weekly throughout the quarter. Your completed assignment will be due during week 9 of the quarter. Please do not wait until the last minute to work on this assignment. It is your responsibility to submit the completed assignment before the DropBox closes. No hard copies or emailed copies will be accepted once the DropBox is closed.
This project requires the ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge that you acquire both inside and outside the anatomy and physiology classroom. You will be presented a pathology that is applicable to the systems we have covered and will be assigned by your instructor. This is a pathology that you may encounter in your nursing career.
As you progress through this course, you will acquire information in a sequential, topic-specific manner. Each topic will include information that is relevant to this assignment. For example, the knowledge you gain from the lesson on cell morphology will be applied to later system-specific questions. Your explanations on each sub-topic should include information from sources that go beyond the textbook or classroom. You are expected to clearly understand the meaning of each topic before you construct your answers. For example, you are expected to know the meaning of “homeostasis” and to understand the topics that are connected to it. Don’t forget to read and understand the rubric before you start. Refer to it often – it will help guide you through the process.

Paper Name
Student’s Name
Professor’s Name
Name of Course/College
Utilize Times New Roman with a 12pt Font! No exceptions!
Margins need to be standard 1” all around, do not alter them.
Description of Pathology (Criteria 1):
In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one to two paragraphs.
Be sure that in-text citations follow APA guidelines (and are included in each section). Do not leave extra spaces between sections, normal double spacing throughout the paper!
Note that “Running head” is removed after the title page per APA guidelines.
Normal anatomy of the major body system effected (Criteria 2):
In this section, you will describe what is considered NORMAL anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an anatomical standpoint. You should show comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabulary. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section.
Normal physiology of the major body system effected (Criteria 3):
Same as the previous section, but instead of explaining the anatomy, you will be discussing the physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to merely provide a function of the structure (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), but instead, you need to be able to describe HOW it does it. The how is the physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section
Mechanism of Pathophysiology (Criteria 4):
This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the anatomy is affected, and how it has an effect on the physiology of that particular system. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be " Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________."
Prevention (Criteria 5):
In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.
Treatment (Criteria 6):
In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.
Conclusion:
While not included in the criteria a good academic paper always ends with a conclusion rather than just abruptly stopping. Check out: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/argument_papers/conclusions.html for a good review on how to write a conclusion for an academic paper.
Insert a page break after you finish your final section to ensure that your reference page doesn’t get messed up.
References:
This final reference page needs to include any and all references you utilized to find information about your particular topic. Remember, the information needs to come from academic/scholarly resources. https://scholar.google.com/ is a great search engine to help you find academic resources. Sites such as Wikipedia are okay to use as a reference/starting point to locate good articles; however, they cannot be used as a primary source of information.
***Tip: If you find information in Wikipedia, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can usually find academic articles that authors have utilized to complete the information. Most of the time you can simply click on that article for a direct link, or simply search for the name of the article in our Library Database to find a complete text.
***Be sure that your in-text citations are accurate and follow APA formatting, again utilize the Purdue Owl website to help with that.
*** Remember, if you have a reference in your final reference list it MUST be cited in-text somewhere. And if you have an in-text citation it must have a final reference included, no exceptions!
*** Journal Article should have been published within the last 5-7 years to ensure accuracy. Science is ever changing, so an article from 20 years ago may not be accurate anymore.
Example final reference:
Hills, A. P., Andersen, L. B., & Byrne, N. M. (2011). Physical activity and obesity in children. British journal of sports medicine, 45(11), 866-870.
A final reference page should be in alphabetical order based on the first author’s last name.
Journal and Journal number should be italicized.
Hanging indent after the first line.
