Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to build on the presentation developed in Week 2. To ensure timely development of the final Week 7 assignment and an opportunity to receive feedback from the faculty, students will develop the Week 7 presentation in 2 parts.  Parts 1 and 2 will be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation that contains thorough speaker notes. After students have received faculty feedback on Parts 1 and 2, students will develop the final presentation that is audio and video (with face showing) recorded in Kaltura and uploaded to the Week 7 Discussion Board. Week 5 begins the development of Part 2 of the Disease Process Presentation. It entails students linking the pathophysiological alterations at the tissue, organ and system levels to the patient’s presenting signs and symptoms. Students will also describe how the disease is diagnosed and the pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for disease management.
