2. Explain the body's response to injury and disease at both the cellular and tissue levels.
3. Compare and contrast microorganism types and discuss in the context of immunity, infection control and public health.
4. Identify and describe the pathophysiology, aetiology and clinical manifestations of the common health disorders studied.
5. Explain the underlying pathological and physiological principles as they relate to degeneration and aging.
6. Identify and explore the role social and environmental factors may have in the prevention or pathogenesis of common health disorders.
In this individual task, you are expected to develop a plan for an information sheet on a medical condition for clinicians (Nurses, GPs, specialists or other allied health professionals) to be submitted in Assessment 2 Part B.
This assessment task will help you to gain skills about what types of information you should include in an information sheet while communicating with a clinician. This assessment aims to bring together knowledge about individual body systems and how various conditions can impact multiple bodily systems, with signs and symptoms seen throughout the various systems, investigations and treatment. Please note this assessment task (2A) is a preparatory task for Assessment 2B, where you will prepare an information sheet on a medical condition for clinicians. It is a good idea to look at the brief for Assessment 2B to help guide you in this assessment.
1) Choose any communicable or non-communicable disease that has been discussed in this course.
2) Research this condition and the bodily systems that it impacts.
3) Outline a plan for your information sheet.
• Your plan for the information sheet should include information about:
(a) Burden of disease e.g., the impact of living with the condition, Disability-Adjusted Life years, Quality-Adjusted Life years, the impact on the medical system and the economy
(b) Clinical manifestations,
(c) Information on investigations and treatments based on the latest scientific evidence.
(i) You can also include any screening tests and links to other helpfulresources.
4) Describe the aetiology and pathophysiological process
5) Identify and utilise medical terminologies/ definitions throughout (remember that your audience is educated medical professionals).
