Explain the process of glucose regulation.
You are expected to explain the processes or concepts in your own words using references to support your explanations. Include a reference list at the end and cite references verbally or with on screen citations.
Use appropriate master’s level terminology.
Include all necessary physiology and/or pathophysiology in your explanation.
Use detailed explanations to teach or explain.
Write a two- to three-page paper on cancer. The paper should include the following:
The etiology and pathophysiology of cancer
What contributes to the development of cancer.
What the difference between benign and malignant:Discuss?
Normal physiology of the major body system affected:
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 normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition.
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: 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.
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.
For this assignment you will be able to create an infographic or video presentation.

Review the following information from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement on how to measure the Triple Aim from a source:
Endo, J. A. (2016). Measuring to achieve the Triple Aim. Retrieved from: http://www.ihi.org/communities/blogs/_layouts/15/ihi/community/blog/itemview.aspx?List=7d1126ec-8f63-4a3b-9926-c44ea3036813&ID=311 (Links to an external site.)
After exploring how to measure the Triple Aim, respond to the following in your discussion post:
Identify one way the Triple Aim is being measured in your local community or state. Provide a clear example.
In what ways is this initiative working to achieve the Triple Aim?
Identify areas in this initiative that need improvement to meet the Triple Aim.
Describe the pathophysiology of a disease or disorder of the skeletal system. Include cause(s), signs and symptoms, treatments, prevalence, and prognosis. Don’t forget to include your sources.
What is the primary problem that brought your patient to this care setting? Briefly summarize pathophysiology of this problem in your OWN WORDS.
What vital signs/nursing assessments/lab-diagnostic test results are RELEVANT and need to be monitored and trended?
Why are they relevant?
What body system(s) needs to be assessed most thoroughly because of the primary problem?
What specific nursing assessments are most important? Why?
What is the current nursing PRIORITY? ‘
What independent nursing interventions (interventions that do not require an order/based on nursing judgment of patient needs) will you initiate based on this priority and what are the desired outcomes?
What is the worst possible/most likely complication(s) to anticipate based on the primary problem?
What will you do to PREVENT this complication from developing?
What nursing assessments will identify this complication EARLY if it develops?
What nursing interventions will you implement if this complication develops?
Explain why the patient is receiving each medication ordered and the nursing considerations for each medication.
Explain each past medical history diagnosis and the medications, assessments, and labs that are used for each.
In order to prioritise your nursing actions, you are expected to have a sound understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology. Explain the pathogenesis and pathophysiology causing the clinical manifestations with which Mr Das presents .Choose One high priority nursing intervention that you will perform for Mr Das Briefly explain why you chose this nursing intervention Explain how the nursing intervention will alleviate the clinical features of Mr Das using physiological linking Describe briefly the impact of not performing the intervention Mr Das has been prescribed Furosemide 40mg IV Stat and Glyceryl Trinitrate IV Infusion 10 mcg/min starting rate. For both medications explain The mechanism of action Why your patient is receiving this medication in relation to his symptoms and diagnosis? What are the nursing considerations for this medication? What clinical response you expect? What continuing clinical observations will you need to undertake?
Submission
How can the disease be prevented (remember OneHealth approach) (20%)
What additional knowledge is required (15%)
What will be the impact of environmental change on the disease (e.g. climate change, over population, land clearing etc) (15%)
Marks are awarded as follows:
Biochemical abnormalities (30%): A good interpretation of a case study or good explanation of the biochemical basis of the disease. Extensive links between analyte levels and pathophysiology/patient symptoms.
Evaluation (40%): Extensive and excellent selection of peer-reviewed articles used to support a good outstanding evaluation.
Communication (20%): Good quality of scientific writing.
Referencing (10%): Good Harvard style referencing from peer-reviewed sources and literature. Citations and references formatted correctly.
Question 2 is case study heavy and my suggestion is that it describes a patient with Cushing’s disease.
There should be a clear show of how the case study results indicate a patient with Cushing’s disease, but this should not be concluded early. A show of process of how you came to the diagnosis should be shown.
Explain on what and how the condition is caused. highlight the different forms of Cushing’s disease and tests that the patient will have to undergo to determine the which form the patient has.
