Presentation Outline
Briefly provide the tentative outline of your presentation, by including the following components.
Note: For 15 min presentation, the number of slides should be 10-15, though 15 slides (1 min/slide) is probably too many. Be brave to be concise. By trying to tell everything you want to tell, the audience often feels too overwhelmed and lose interest in understanding your talk. Design your presentation to deliver the most important message.
Tentative title of your presentation:
Note: Come up with a title that concisely delivers the main message of your presentation. The title of the paper can be the title of your presentation, but often article titles are quite lengthy. Something catchy might grab the interest of the audience.
Key background info to be explained in the Introduction:
Note: Read the introduction of your article, and determine which information is needed for the audience to understand the results you are going to present.
Key methods to be delivered in a Method slide if any (or maybe woven into the Results section):
Note: Have a method slide if the method is something special that requires a separate slide. If the workflow is important for the audience to understand, flowchart is often helpful.
Key results to be presented in the Results section:
Note: Don’t feel that you have to present everything in the article. Select the most important results, and think about the most effective way to present.
Take-home message:
Note: For a 15 min presentation, your take-home message should be limited to one or two.
Presentation Outline

Once you find a primary source article that you are interested in, search for at least one additional RELATED source article to add further support & details to your primary source.

Requirements:
2 Primary Source Articles
2 source articles are required; however, most students utilize more sources plus their textbook
Guide to Evaluating Sources
Primary Source Article Authors and Discussion of Authors Qualifications
In other words, describe the author’s background in detail.
minimum length = 1 detailed paragraph
Note – if the chosen article is a summary of a scientific journal article, include qualifications of both the article author and the research scientist
Summary of Primary Source Articles – IN YOUR OWN WORDS
minimum length = 2 detailed paragraphs
Critique of Primary Source Articles – IN YOUR OWN WORDS
this section should be the bulk of your essay; minimum length = 4 detailed paragraphs
Summary vs Critique
Specifically, address the following questions:
How does the topic of the article affect the Earth as a whole?
How does this article relate to my life?
References (APA format preferred) – Purdue’s OWL website can assist with APA citation formatting
Please use the above 6 numbers/headings to organize your essay.

Additional Information:
What is a Critique?
A book report only summarizes the article. A critical essay is you explaining what you think of their data. For a 1000-word essay, the summary should only be about two paragraphs long. The rest of the report should be your thoughts about the topic. Analyze the pros and cons of the article. Is the author presenting good science or just opinion? Is the author a recognized expert? How could the article be improved?

What is Good Science?
The instructions above ask you to evaluate whether the article is ‘good science’. DO NOT just tell me it is ‘good science’. Explain why. Start by asking yourself these questions: Did they try and use the scientific method (Ch. 1)? Did they support the conclusions with facts? Did they provide the facts or a reference to them? If the answer is no to any of those basic questions, then it’s probably not good quality science, and you probably need to find at least 1 more supplemental article to add additional support to your essay.

I have provided the case study needed to comlete this assigment Below. and attached a completed assgiemnt as an example

CASE STUDY BELOW

BACKGROUND
Mr. Akkad is a 76-year-old Iranian male who is brought to your office by his eldest son for “strange behavior.” Mr. Akkad was seen by his family physician who ruled out any organic basis for Mr. Akkad’s behavior. All laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests (including CT-scan of the head) were normal.

According to his son, he has been demonstrating some strange thoughts and behaviors for the past two years, but things seem to be getting worse. Per the client’s son, the family noticed that Mr. Akkad’s personality began to change a few years ago. He began to lose interest in religious activities with the family and became more “critical” of everyone. They also noticed that things he used to take seriously had become a source of “amusement” and “ridicule.”
Over the course of the past two years, the family has noticed that Mr. Akkad has been forgetting things. His son also reports that sometimes he has difficulty “finding the right words” in a conversation and then will shift to an entirely different line of conversation.

SUBJECTIVE
During the clinical interview, Mr. Akkad is pleasant, cooperative and seems to enjoy speaking with you. You notice some confabulation during various aspects of memory testing, so you perform a Mini-Mental State Exam. Mr. Akkad scores 18 out of 30 with primary deficits in orientation, registration, attention & calculation, and recall. The score suggests moderate dementia.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM
Mr. Akkad is 76-year-old Iranian male who is cooperative with today’s clinical interview. His eye contact is poor. Speech is clear, coherent, but tangential at times. He makes no unusual motor movements and demonstrates no tic. Self-reported mood is euthymic. Affect however is restricted. He denies visual or auditory hallucinations. No delusional or paranoid thought processes noted. He is alert and oriented to person, partially oriented to place, but is disoriented to time and event [he reports that he thought he was coming to lunch but “wound up here”- referring to your office, at which point he begins to laugh]. Insight and judgment are impaired. Impulse control is also impaired as evidenced by Mr. Akkad’s standing up during the clinical interview and walking towards the door. When you asked where he was going, he stated that he did not know. Mr. Akkad denies suicidal or homicidal ideation.
Diagnosis: Major neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease (presumptive)

Decision Point One Begin Aricept (donepezil) 5 mg orally at BEDTIME.

RESULTS OF DECISION POINT ONE
Client returns to clinic in four weeks.
The client is accompanied by his son who reports that his father is “no better” from this medication He reports that his father is still disinterested in attending religious services/activities, and continues to exhibit disinhibited behaviors

Decision Point Two Increase Aricept to 10 mg orally at BEDTIME

RESULTS OF DECISION POINT TWO Client returns to clinic in four weeks
Client’s son reports that the client is tolerating the medication well but is still concerned that his father is no better. He states that his father is attending religious services with the family, which the son and the rest of the family are happy about. He reports that his father is still easily amused by things he once found serious.

Decision Point Three Continue Aricept 10 mg orally at BEDTIME.

Guidance to Student
At this point, it would be prudent to continue Aricept at 10 mg orally at bedtime. Recall that this medication can take several months before stabilization of deterioration is noted. At this point, the client is attending religious services with the family, which has made the family happy. Disinhibition may improve in a few weeks, or it may not improve at all. This is a counseling point that you should review with your son.
There is no evidence that Aricept given at doses greater than 10 mg per day has any therapeutic benefit. It can, however, cause side effects. Increasing to 15 and 20 mg per day would not be appropriate.
There is nothing in the clinical presentation to suggest that the Aricept should be discontinued. Whereas it may be appropriate to add Namenda to the current drug profile, there is no need to discontinue Aricept. In fact, NMDA receptor antagonist therapy is often used with cholinesterase inhibitors in combination therapy to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The key to using both medications is slow titration upward toward therapeutic doses to minimize negative side effects. Finally, it is important to note that changes in the MMSE should be evaluated over the course of months, not weeks. The absence of change in the MMSE after 4 weeks of treatment should not be a source of concern.

If you were given the ability to go back in time and change one thing, what would it be, and why?
