Case #4 -week 7
Frank is a 37 year old man who is getting married for the first time. His fiancee Holly and he went to middle school and high school together but did not really date until a few years ago. They seem truly in love. Frank was social awkward in high school because of Asperger’s syndrome ( on the Autism Spectrum) and unfortunately was a target of lateral violence ( bullying). Frank’s sister will be Holly’s bridesmaid. Holly does not have a brother and is an only child. She would like her cousin Gerald to be a groomsman since he is a member of her family. Gerald was one of the main bullies during Frank’s high school period, leading to an attempted suicide in 10th grade. The scars remain on Frank’s right wrist. Frank is willing forgive Gerald enough to have him attend the wedding, but not as a groomsman. What would you recommend Frank do? Why?

What are you being asked to do? Decide? Describe? Analyse? Make recommendations? Use this information to focus your reading of the case study. Highlight key words, characters, and events.
Start to think about leadership theories and concepts that could be related to the case.
2. Read the case study carefully
Read it from beginning to end to get an overall idea of what is happening.
Highlight anything you feel is important and related to the problem.
Sometimes the problems are not immediately clear, and you may need to read the case several times before you understand fully what is happening. Its important to understand the CONTEXT of the situation so that you can see how this might influence decisions made and resulting consequences.
3. Ask questions and be a detective
Descriptive questions: Where? What? When? Who?
Analytical questions: Why? How? What if?
Evaluative questions: So what? What next?
Investigate and eliminate what is irrelevant to the situation or appears to not fit the case context.
Make notes. Analyse and organise the information.
4. Structure your response – Make sure your answer:
Is evidence-based (using data from the case);
Is supported by relevant peer-reviewed literature;
Demonstrates integration and synthesis;
Uses linking words to connect your argument, and includes a short introduction and conclusion;
There is no single right answer as long as your arguments are supported through evidence of research and well-crafted by your critical thinking skills, many different points of view are possible.

An understanding of cells and cell
Module 1 Assignment:
Case Study Analysis
An understanding of cells and cell
behavior is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and
treatment. But some diseases can be complex in nature, with a variety of
factors and circumstances impacting their emergence and severity.
Effective disease analysis often
requires an understanding that goes beyond isolated cell behavior. Genes, the
environments in which cell processes operate, the impact of patient
characteristics, and racial and ethnic variables all can have an important
impact.

An understanding of
the signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical
step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this
understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their
treatment plans.
In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms
presented. You identify cell, gene, and/or process elements that may be factors
in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
To prepare:
By Day 1 of this
week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study
Assignment. Please see the Course Announcements section of the classroom for
your assignment from your Instructor.
The Assignment (1- to
2-page case study analysis)

2-page case study analysis in which you:
Explain why you think the
patient presented the symptoms described.
Identify the genes that may
be associated with the development of the disease.
