BSL 115/117 Case Study Assignment

The case study assignment allows you to gather relevant information on a particular pathology that you may encounter as a nurse. %u0412 Think of this assignment as an important addition to your portfolio of assignments in this class. %u0412
Purpose:%u0412 The purpose of the project is to serve as an artifact, showing that students have demonstrated achieving the%u0412 competency on scientific literacy.%u0412
This project requires the ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge that you acquire both inside and outside the anatomy and physiology classroom. You will be presented a case study that is applicable to the systems we have covered and will be assigned by your instructor. This is a pathology that you may encounter in your nursing career.
As you progress through this course, you will acquire information in a sequential, topic-specific manner. Each topic will include information that is relevant to this assignment. For example, the knowledge you gain from the lesson on cell morphology will be applied to later system specific questions. Your explanations on each sub-topic should include information from sources that go beyond the textbook or classroom. You are expected to clearly understand the meaning of each topic before you construct your answers. For example, you are expected to know the meaning of %u0432%u0402%u045Ahomeostasis%u0432%u0402%u045C and to understand the topics that are connected to it.%u0412 %u0412  Don%u0432%u0402%u2122t forget to read and understand the rubric before you start.%u0412 %u0412  Refer to it often %u0432%u0402%u201C it will help guide you through the process.

Students will be assigned individual topics related to physiology and pathological conditions of physiological systems.
The student will be required to complete all parts of the assigned case in a written paper.
The paper will be double-spaced, and answers should only be on one side of the paper.
The paper will be a minimum of 3 pages long, and should also include an additional citations page at the back.
A minimum of three APA-style references must be included in the paper. There should be an APA-format citations page labeled %u0432%u0402%u045ACitations%u0432%u0402%u045C at the end of the presentation. Additionally, sources should be cited directly after any quoted passages in the paper. Reputable resources include peer-reviewed journal articles, interviews with clinicians who deal with these pathologies on a daily basis, personal experiences, class lectures, and other reputable sources.
%u0412
The student should use a font size of 12. The paper should be written with the text aligned to the left margin.

%u0412 Case Study Student Paper Rubric
Purpose: The purpose of the project is to enhance student understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology and how each organ system works collaboratively to achieve and to serve as an artifact showing that students have demonstrated achieving the competency on scientific literacy. Competency 6 states: Learners will gain the ability to read with understanding scientific content and engage in dialogue about scientific issues.
