Detailed description:• This assessment task requires you to make a 5-minute Vodcast presentation (a video with audio, written text and pictures/diagrams) about diabetes or extrinsic asthma. The Vodcast will be assessed according to the following: 1. Coverage of subject matter, 2. Accuracy of information, 3. Clarity of material and 4. Client background and referencing• Your Vodcast has to be about a specific ‘person/client’ who has either diabetes or extrinsic asthma.• If you are repeating BIOL122, your vodcast will need to about the topic you did not cover previously (eg. Youneed to choose asthma if you have already submitted a vodcast on diabetes)• You will need to create your own ‘person/client’ according to the following criteria*.• Please indicate the vodcast topic you have chosen in the file name (see checklist below). ‘Person/client’ criteria What is their name?What is their gender? What is their age?Are they within a healthy weight range? Do they exercise?What is their occupation?What is their living status?Are they pregnant? Are they a smoker?What is their alcohol intake?For examplePhillip Nguyen Male50 years oldOverweightWalks once a weekAccountantPhillip lives with his wife and two childrenNARegular smokerEnjoys a glass of wine with his meal every nightFor exampleJames Mae Male17 years oldUnderweightPlays sport occasionally StudentJames is cared for by his single motherNAHas tried smoking a few timesNAFill in for your ‘person/client’ What condition do they have? (diabetes or asthma) Type II diabetes mellitus Asthma XXXXXXXXXXWhat is their family medical history? Father died of complications related to diabetes mellitus There is no history of asthma on his mother’s side; father’s history not well known What medications or treatments have they been prescribed?# Metformin Salbutamol *The examples listed in the table above are suggestions; you need to create your own ‘person/client’.2
• You will then be required to answer a series of specific questions that relate directly to your ‘person/client’ and the condition she or he has. All of your answers must be specific for this person; marks will not be given where your presentation does not relate to the person you have ‘created’.• The specific questions are listed below.• Vodcasts are expected to stay within the 5 minute time limit. Presentations exceeding 5 minutes 30 secondsin length will not be listened to after this point.• You will need to research your topic; please ensure that you keep a record of any references that you have used.• You will be required to write an annotated bibliography as part of this assignment. An annotated bibliography provides information regarding how you used the research to support your assignment.• Your annotated bibliography may contain 5 to 10 citations. For example, you may have used the following journal article:• Wu, Y. and Ding, Y XXXXXXXXXXRisk factors contributing to Type II Diabetes. International Journal of Medical Sciences 11: XXXXXXXXXX.• I used this article to examine the risk factors for diabetes mellitus. It is a reliable source as it is peer reviewed.• To create your assignment:Use a computer and make your Vodcast with Powerpoint using the audio function: this produces a filethat can be submitted to LEO.• It is expected that you will use some figures or visual aids to help enhance your presentation.• Your Vodcast should not exceed 50 MB. You will not be able to upload your Vodcast file to LEO if it is more than 50 MB.• The Vodcast needs to be your own original work; you cannot include YouTube clips or other videos as part of your Vodcast.• If you do not have access to a media source to make your Vodcast please contact the LIC.• Please be mindful that it can sometimes take 10-20 minutes to upload and submit your Vodcast file to LEO;please do not leave submission until the last minute.• LEO guides on how to submit your Vodcast are available on LEO.• It is your responsibility to check that your Vodcast has been submitted successfully. To do this you willneed to go to a different computer, log onto LEO and open your Vodcast to check that you can see thevisual material and hear the audio content.• To create your Vodcast with Powerpoint using the audio function, the following video from Lynda.com explains how to embed audio onto a PowerPoint file. http://www.lynda.com/Office-tutorials/Embedding-sounds/85084/ XXXXXXXXXXhtmlPlease access this link as it is possible for the audio recording to be saved to your hard drive rather than your Vodcast file. 3

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS: Diabetes Vodcast questionsYou will have the opportunity to describe the pathophysiology and pharmacological management fora person/client with either type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus or gestational diabetes. We would like you to show your understanding by making explicit the links between pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and pharmacological management of your person/client’s disease; your target audience is health professionals (eg. Nurse, paramedic, midwife, all of which should have roughly the same base knowledge). Your answers to these questions will be used to grade the ‘coverage of subject matter’ and ‘accuracy of information’ sections of your Vodcast assignment (see marking rubric provided at the end of this document). At the beginning of your Vodcast you need to set the scene within the first minute – tell us about your person/client (refer to the Unit Outline for the details required). Then proceed to answer the following questions. Please state clearly which type of diabetes your patient/client has when describing them at the start of the recording.You must answer the 4 questions below: Question 1.Explain the following physiological processes that are important for blood glucose control:• Insulin synthesis and release• Insulin binding to target tissuesQuestion 2.Explain the pathophysiological basis for the type of diabetes your person/client has. Compare this to one other type of diabetes.Question 3. Answer both parts (a) and (b)(a) Explain how long-term control of blood glucose levels would be measured in your client. Why isthis measure useful in the management of your person’s/client’s disease. (b) The following drugs are used in the management of diabetes mellitus.• Metformin• InsulinChoose ONE that is appropriate for your person/client.
