11 Jun medical disorders
Background
During your study, you may have found one of the medical disorders you read about to be especially interesting. This assignment gives you an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned by researching outside sources and increasing your understanding of one disorder.
Goal
This assignment is designed to help you apply what you’ve learned from your lessons by researching and writing about a medical disorder you’ve studied and to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your written communication and research skills.
Procedure
Select a single medical disorder that affects the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, immune, gastrointestinal, urinary, or reproductive systems. Consult the software program Anatomy & Physiology Revealed 4.0 to determine the histology and any imaging studies used to diagnose the disorder. Utilize other resources, including the textbook, journal articles, and primary websites to validate your findings. Then, prepare a detailed report on the medical disorder, including the following elements:
Definition
Method(s) of diagnosis
Symptoms and complications of the disorder
Diagnostic findings from imaging and histology
Treatment of the disorder
Methods of prevention, if any
Directions for future research
Incorporate the information you learned about anatomy and physiology from this course, but don’t limit your discussion to the textbook and course. Take advantage of external resources to provide an in-depth, comprehensive report.
Go to http://lessons.pennfoster.com/pdf/LS5273.pdf and read the instructions for research papers.
Writing Guidelines
