Homework: Pathophysiology Paper
Length: 4 6 pages.
Write on Seizure
Instructions:
Your paper should include the underlined items below as section headings.
1) APA 7th edition Title page:
a) This is a separate page, with the following information in the middle: course title, paper title, student's name, instructor's name, and date.
2) Description of Pathology:
a) Start the paper on a new page.
b) In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant and not just filler. A comprehensive introductory section of the condition should be in one to two paragraphs.
3) Normal anatomy of the influential body system affected: 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 in this section.
4) Normal physiology of the influential body system affected: In this section, you will discuss physiology. Remember that when describing physiology, it isn't enough to merely provide a list of body system functions (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body). Instead, you need to be able to describe how it does it. The show is physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition in this section.
5) Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section will likely be the most in-depth and extended section. In this section, you will be able to explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two quotes, you explained what is considered normal; in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues and how the normal anatomy & physiology are affected/different in a person with your condition. You should thoroughly understand the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be "Pathology of __________, and" Pathophysiology of __________."
6) Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols or indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.
7) Treatment: 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 relevant nursing information and how you might be involved in treating the disease.
8) Conclusion: Finally, you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a decision where you wrap up and digest all of the essential points made in your form.
