Points to Remember about Assignments / Work / Discussions
• Remember this is an ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY course so it must address the content at the cellular level. This is a requirement in this course.
• Make sure that all your work is submitted in APA format
1. Review proper quotes, paraphrasing
2. You MUST avoid plagiarism and be sure that you are giving credit to those who provided you with the information. If it’s a quote, then quote it!!
3. You should expect to have citations for almost all your sentences.
• You must DEVELOP YOUR PARAGRAPHS WELL, 5 sentences each with citations.
• For all of your papers please provide a minimum of 5 references so that your work is well validated and your content is supported.
• READ the instructions and make sure that you are addressing each of the asked-for components and place headings to make it obvious to the reader
• READ the rubric – you must have references to get the points, and if you don’t have the references you also lose points for analysis and synthesis because you can’t do this without validated content.
Discussion: Alterations in Cellular Processes
At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the suggested disease. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.
To prepare: Read the case/scenario below.
CASE/SCENARIO
A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter to the HCP for evaluation of possible colic. The mother says the baby has had many episodes of crying after eating and, despite having a good appetite, is not gaining weight. The mother says the baby’s belly “gets all swollen sometimes.” The mother says the baby tastes “salty” when the mother kisses the baby. Further work up reveals a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The mother relates that her 23-month-old son has had multiple episodes of “chest congestion” and was hospitalized once for pneumonia. The mother wants to know what cystic fibrosis is and she also wants to know if she should have any more children.
Write an essay explaining: the disease highlighted in the case/scenario above you were provided. Include the following in your explanation: There are five questions that need to be answered with a thorough explanation, and each question will be used as the heading of the paragraph.
1. The role genetics plays in the disease.
2. Why is the patient presenting with the specific symptoms described?
3. The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
4. The cells that are involved in this process.
5. How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
