Explain the pathophysiologic processes of common diseases and disorders across the lifespan.( BSN Student learning Outcome 4)
Evaluate laboratory and diagnostic tests for common diseases and disorders.(BSN Student learning Outcomes 3, 4)
Correlate underlying pathophysiology with health promotion and risk reduction strategies.(BSN Student learning Outcomes 3, 4, 6, 8)
Examine the influence of genetics, race, ethnicity, and the environment on physiologic processes and response to treatment.(BSN Student learning Outcomes 3, 4, 6, 8)

Instructions: Pretend you have just returned from a Nursing Conference and your employer has asked you to write a summary of what you learned at the conference. ***UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS IN RED***

1.) Write an APA-formatted paper that is a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 pages in length, excluding title and references pages. There are no page limits, but you do need to follow APA format (there’s already a template included below).

2.) Choose 5 (FIVE) disease processes to write about – Each disease process must be from a different body system!  ;Choose TWO (2) disease processes, preferably ones that have not been covered by a case study (if you have already written these out, then do not worry about it).

3.) For each disease process, provide a brief overview of the pathophysiology, etiology, and prevalence. Follow this information with a discussion chosen from one of the following topics (must pick a new topic for each disease process – you may choose to focus on pediatric, adult, older adult, or other special population disease presentation):

Modern pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments
Lifespan considerations
Diagnostic testing and diagnostic criteria
The nursing process related to care of the patient with the disease
Psychosocial concerns related to the disease process
Community resources – Where can patients go for assistance for the disease? What reputable sources of information are available?
Patient education
Prevention

4.) Once you have chosen the disease processes and topics to write about for each, begin research. You will need to include at least 2 (two) scholarly references from the literature for each topic.

5.) Use level 1 and level 2 headers throughout your paper. (See example document below.)

6.) Submit your assignment by the posted due date. Turnitin is enabled for this assignment. Incomplete assignments will be graded as-is. See rubric below for grading criteria. Final Due date for all assignments is Monday, April 27, 2020 by 11:59PM.
