Description
of Pathology (Criteria 1):
In this section, you will
describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.).
Give as much information as you
can about it but be sure it is relevant
information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory
section of the
condition in one to two paragraphs.
Normal
anatomy of the major body system effected (Criteria 2):
In this section, you will
describe what is considered NORMAL
anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing
a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an
anatomical standpoint. You should show
Pathophysiologyromanaffectedcomprehensive knowledge of the
fundamental concepts and communicate information using
scientific vocabulary. There
should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section.
Normal
physiology of the major body system effected (Criteria 3):
Same as the previous
section, but instead of explaining the anatomy, you will be discussing the
physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to
merely provide a function of the structure (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout
the body), but instead, you need to be able to describe HOW it does it. The how is the physiology. There
should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section
Mechanism
of Pathophysiology (Criteria 4):
This section is likely
going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will
explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the
previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this
section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing
these issues, how the anatomy is affected, and how it has an effect on the
physiology of that particular system. You should show a thorough understanding
of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some
good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology
of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”
Prevention
(Criteria 5):
In this section, you will
explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline
possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based
on the current scientific literature.
Treatment
(Criteria 6):
In this section, you will
explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible
treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be
sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in
the treatment of the condition.
Conclusion:
While
not included in the criteria a good academic paper always ends with a
conclusion rather than just abruptly stopping.
References:
This final reference page needs to include any and all
references you utilized to find information about your particular topic.
Remember, the information needs to come from academic/scholarly resources. https://scholar.google.com/
is a great search engine to help you find academic resources. Sites such as
Wikipedia are okay to use as a reference/starting point to locate good articles;
however, they cannot be used as a primary source of information.
***Tip:
If you find information in Wikipedia, scroll down to the bottom of the page,
you can usually find academic articles that authors have utilized to complete
the information. Most of the time you can simply click on that article for a
direct link, or simply search for the name of the article in our Library
Database to find a complete text.
***Be
sure that your in-text citations are accurate and follow APA formatting, again
utilize the Purdue Owl website to help with that.
***
Remember, if you have a reference in your final reference list it MUST be cited
in-text somewhere. And if you have an in-text citation it must have a final
reference included, no exceptions!
***
Journal Article should have been published within the last 5-7 years to ensure
accuracy. Science is ever changing, so an article from 20 years ago may not be
accurate anymore.
