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 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
