Handout Guidelines

& Scoring Rubric

Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize advanced knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health (physical) assessment into three handouts for nursing students or staff nurses.

Course Outcomes

Through this assignment, a student will demonstrate the ability to:

1- Integrate interprofessional collaboration and innovative communication to support and promote the teaching-coaching functions of the nurse educator. (PO 3, 10)

2- Integrate pathophysiologic mechanisms with advanced assessment and pharmacologic concepts to maximize patient outcomes in complex disease states. (PO 1, 4)

3- Distinguish the epidemiology, etiology, developmental considerations, pathogenesis, and clinical and laboratory manifestations of complex disease processes in relation to assessment strategies and pharmacologic interventions. (PO 1, 4)

4- Analyze risk factors associated with complex disease states in individuals, aggregates, and populations to devise effective disease management and/or health promotion strategies that reflect pertinent psychosocial, cultural, legal, ethical, and safety considerations. (PO 4, 6)

5- Explicate the environmental factors that impinge upon specific physiologic, psychological, and psychosocial states along the health-illness continuum. (PO 1, 4)

6- Examine mechanisms and processes of homeostatic, adaptive, and compensatory physiological functions in complex disease states with an emphasis on appropriate assessment strategies and pharmacologic interventions. (PO 1, 4)

7- Determine clinical data essential to identifying specified pathophysiologic or psychological problems and the best plan of care. (PO 1, 4)

8- Explore age-specific and developmental alterations in physiologic and psychological disease states, assessment strategies, and pharmacologic intervention. (PO 1, 4)

9- Correlate changes and disruptions in major physiological systems and pathophysiological mechanisms with clinical data resulting from physical examination, laboratory data, and diagnostic test data with anticipated pharmacologic treatment. (PO 1, 4, 11)

Requirements:

Description of the essay on pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health (physical) assessment: This final NR526 assignment requires you to develop a set of 3 handouts on the topic that you chose for the Week 5 assignment. IMPORTANT:

In these handouts, you will present an in-depth application of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health (physical) assessment concepts related to your chosen topic. You should describe at least one concept in each handout but may display multi-concepts if necessary.

You may use your textbooks as references, but you should also have at least one peer-reviewed article as a reference. Clinical practice guidelines are good sources for this assignment but you may use other peer-reviewed articles in which the evidence-based care of patients is presented. Feel free to use images (see information on copyright), concept maps, tables, or anything else you feel will enhance your handout. Essay on pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health (physical) assessment

Only use media you develop yourself or that you obtain through this page in the Chamberlain Library:.chamberlain.edu/copyright”>http://library.chamberlain.edu/copyright. You can add web addresses to your handout if you want to link to video or audio files.

Good, relevant, current content is the most important feature of your handouts. For clinical topics, “current” is defined as no more than five years old.

Developing the Handouts

1. Your first handout should display information about one or more of the drugs related to the complex health situation you are covering. You may want to focus on just one drug but, in some cases, drugs work together or you may want to compare and contrast two similar or alternate drugs. Essay on pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health (physical) assessment

2. Your second handout should relate to the pathophysiology of the complex health situation. Examples: How do the various systems interact? What compensatory systems are in play? What is the etiology of this condition?

3. Your third handout should relate to the necessary physical assessments for your topic. Be as comprehensive and holistic as possible. What is your student looking for?

4. Three pages should be adequate unless you prefer to add a reference list for all of your handouts at the end. References can also be incorporated in the handout. The idea is that you should provide your students references so they can access your original sources.

5. You will not be penalized if one of your handouts spills over onto another page.

6. Please check your handouts for grammatical errors and misspellings before submitting them.
