available for you to customise based on your assigned case scenario.
In your concept map you must include:
1) Your Interpretation of the patient’s risk factors (from the case-study scenario)
and determine how these risk factors relate to the diagnosed disease/disorder
using evidence-based literature;
2) An outline of the links between the aetiology, cellular pathology and the
pathophysiology of the diagnosed disease;
3) A description of how the pathophysiology of the disease/disorder accounts for
the patient’s clinical manifestations (described in the case-study scenario); and
4) An analysis and interpretation including evidence-based research to suggest
appropriate diagnostic assessments and treatment modalities for the patient’s
diagnosis.
In your 750 words written explanation you must:
1) Explain the links between the patient’s risk factors and aetiology to account for
the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology.
2) Describe how the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology manifests through the
patient’s signs and symptoms (clinical manifestations).
3) Justify your suggested diagnostic tests and treatment modalities listed in the
concept map on their relevance and appropriateness for the diagnosed
disease/disorder.
