Human Pathophysiology and Pharmacology Assignment

Aim:

The aim of this assessment is to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your critical thinking skills, your capacity to differentiate a normal from abnormal patient presentation, and to identify appropriate, evidence-based, diagnostic investigations and treatment modalities associated with an assigned case study.

Instructions:

For this task you will create a single page (using PowerPoint or Microsoft Word) color-coded concept map and provide a 500-word written explanation, demonstrating an analysis of a case-study scenario that will be provided at the start of your course.

Your concept map must include:

• An interpretation of three patient risk factors (from the case-study scenario) and a demonstration of how these risk factors link and relate to the diagnosed disease/disorders etiology and/or pathophysiology, using evidence-based literature.
• A step-by-step pathophysiological sequence between the diagnosed disease/disorders etiology and five of the patient's clinical manifestations (from the case-study scenario), using evidence-based literature.

In your 500-word written explanation:

• From your analysis and interpretation of the evidence-based research, explain and justify the appropriate diagnostic investigations to confirm the patients diagnosis and explain and justify the appropriate treatment modalities approach to treat and manage the patient's diagnosis.
