• Identify key pathophysiological elements regarding a disease relative to developmental concerns in a specific at-risk population
• Discuss the selected disease process in relation to the chosen population and community
• Include appropriate health promotion recommendations for the selected population (individual, family, population, and community) based on current guidelines and research
• Address essential elements such as the following:
o Definition
o Epidemiology and etiology
o Brief description of normal physiology
o Comprehensive explanation of the pathophysiology
o Clinical manifestations
o Diagnostics
o Clinical management related to the disorder
o Specific issues related to this identified community and population
Directions
Part 2 of the Community Pathophysiology Assessment is based on at least seven studies.
1. Create a 2500 to 3000 word paper (10 to 12 pages, not including title page and references) demonstrating the knowledge you gained relative to the chosen health-related condition and specific population. Explore online databases and select at least seven research studies that have the greatest relevance to your specific health condition, at-risk population, and evidence-based treatment guidelines.
2. Incorporate each of the following items relative to the health condition:
a. Definition
b. Epidemiology and etiology
c. Brief description of normal physiology
d. A comprehensive explanation of pathophysiology
e. Clinical manifestations
f. Diagnostics
g. Clinical management related to the disorder (include current evidence-based guidelines)
3. Incorporate each of the following items relative to the selected population (individual, family, population, and community):
a. Specific issues or concerns relative to this identified community and population and this specific health condition
b. Pertinent developmental concerns as appropriate
c. Suitable health promotion recommendations
Use subheadings to address the different aspects of the paper and necessary in-text citations for all content taken from a source. Submit the Research and Synthesis Paper to the mentor via the assignment submission link.
