NURS 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology

Genetics Paper – Fall 2018

DUE: October 24, 

Purpose:  To provide an opportunity to explore the genetic transmission and resulting pathophysiology of a specific disease/disorder of interest to the Advanced Practice Nurse student.

General Guidelines:  Select a disorder/disease state that is a result of a genetic alteration. This is a formal paper, formatted and referenced per APA guidelines. The paper should be no more than 3 pages (excluding title page and references).  Include a minimum of 3 references – the McCance&Huether text is a starting point and is NOT included in the 3 references and may not be included in citations.  You may not use direct quotes.  The paper should reflect your synthesis and understanding of the information.  References should be dated within the previous 5 years. NURS 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Assignment Papers.

The paper must be submitted via Blackboard.  Papers not submitted via Blackboard will not be graded.  Specific instructions for how/where to submit are provided separately in the Course Assignments folder.  Papers submitted after the due date of October 24 will not be accepted for grading or feedback and will receive a grade of zero (unless a revised date is negotiated with the faculty due to extenuating circumstances).  PLEASE NOTE:  If you are repeating this course you may not resubmit a paper for which you previously received a grade. NURS 5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Assignment Papers.
