Physiological Mechanisms in Pharmacology, Pulmonary Response, and Hemorrhagic Shock BIO246 Case Study

Case Study (30%)

Value:30%

Group or Individual:Individual

Word Limit:1200 (+/- 10%)

Due Date: 24 April 2025, 17:00

Instructions

This assessment will demonstrate your understanding of some of the body systems studied during the semester, by applying your knowledge to resolve various case study scenarios.

Preparation

• Review the relevant Modules (4-6) and textbook chapters

• Collect and review suitable resources on the topic

• View the case study example for a sample of the type of response that may be provided for each case study

Task

Submit a1200 word paper(including in-text references) using information from reliable sources.This task is to be submitted intoTurnitinusing the link provided and will be assessed using the rubric attached.

You will need to addressall threeof the case study scenarios below:

1. Hayley experiences excess mucus secretions from her sinuses, thus atropine tablets are prescribed. Explain the way in which atropine works systemically to affect the functioning of mucus membranes.

1. A firefighter is admitted to the hospital emergency department for smoke inhalation as a result of battling a bushfire. Initial assessment indicates reduced compliance and high alveolar surface tension. Explain how both of these issues will physiologically impede the firefighters breathing.

1. A young woman tears her radial artery as a result of a severe sports injury. She loses approximately one-quarter of her blood volume on her way to the hospital emergency department. Explain how her body would respond physiologically to the blood loss and reduction of blood volume.

Formatting

Please use theAssignment Template APA7Download Assignment Template APA7for your assignment.

Your work should include the following:

• Title of Assignment (as per template)

• Subheadings to identify each case scenario (as per template)

• Double-spacing throughout (as per template)

• References (both in-text and end-text)

• Donotchange the order of the case study scenarios

References

You need to provide in-text references (cited within the text) and end-text references (presented as a list at the end of the document).

Your references should consider the following:

• At least 5 sourcesthat are current (within 5 years) - for theentire paper

• Additional sources may be older than 5 years

• Sources must be peer-reviewed and academic (textbooks should form foundational material, journal articles act as support material, websites should be avoided where possible)

• Direct quotes are not allowed. All information must be paraphrased (marks cannot be awarded for high similarity)

Assignment presentation guidelines have also been provided to assist you with formatting requirements for your assignment (not all of these requirements will be relevant).

Please refer to the referencing resources below for examples of good and poor referencing sources.

Turnitin

There is no cut-off valuethat your similarity score (generated by the Turnitin Originality Report) must be below. You can check your work by submitting it and then checking the Originality Report. If there are large sections of text that are highlighted as being too similar to the source material, you need to edit your work before your final submission. You can resubmit your work as many times as you need toup until the due date(but keep the file name the same each time). Make sure you submit your first draft early enough for the report to be generated and to make changes if needed.

If you have large parts of text that have been copied from your sources, this amounts to plagiarism and is taken very seriously by the University. There are services provided on campus if you feel you need help paraphrasing your work.
