Requirements for length & submission

The length requirement for this paper is between 4-6 full pages of content, double spaced-this does not include the title page and the reference page (both on separate pages) that do not contribute to the page count. Use of  images/tables/ diagrams will not count for total page number either.

Students will be assigned individual topics related to physiology and pathological conditions of physiological systems by their instructor. You must write your paper based on the assigned topic.

Student must write on the topic assigned or the submission will earn a grade of zero.

Students are responsible for checking the uploaded submissions for the correct versions. No resubmissions are allowed after the due date. Turnitin similarity indexes must be below 25%

 

Your paper must be submitted as a pdf (.pdf) or word document (.doc or .docx) These are the only file types that will be accepted.

 

APA 7th Edition Title page

  • This is a separate page by itself, with the following information centered in the middle of the page, course title, paper title, student’s name, instructor’s name and date.

 

Description of pathology

  • Start the paper on a new page.
  • 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 comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one or two paragraphs.

 

Normal anatomy of the major body system affected

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 comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabularies. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section

Normal Physiology of the major body system affected

In this section, you will be discussion physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to merely provide a list of functions of the body system (ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), 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 sections.

 

Mechanism of Pathophysiology

This section is likely going to be the most in depth and the longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular standpoint. In the previous two sections you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what 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.

Treatment

In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on the current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.

Conclusion

Finally you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper.

 

References

  • As with the title page, this should be a separate page by itself.
  • All references should be included in correct and complete APA format.

Scenario

You are asked by your Senior Management Team (SMT) to draft a briefing paper for them about leadership and management development in your own organisation (or an organisation with which you are familiar). You will be evaluating what currently happens, making recommendations for improvement and justifying these. Your briefing paper needs to be objective and evidence-based, drawing on your own organisational knowledge and observations, as well as authoritative published sources.

 

At an initial meeting with your SMT you were asked to structure your paper around the following ten specific questions. Provide answers to each of these, aiming in each case to do so in around 390 words so that the total length of your assessment is 3900 words in length (+ /- 10% excluding references). You should answer each of the questions as fully as possible and you should take care to justify all the points you make.

Leadership and management development

Assessment Criteria marking descriptors.

Assessors will mark in line with the following assessment criteria (AC) marking descriptors, and will indicate where the learner sits within the marking band range for each AC.

Assessors must provide a mark from 1 to 4 for each assessment criteria within the unit. Assessors should use the mark descriptor grid as guidance so they can provide comprehensive feedback that is developmental for learners. Please be aware that not all the mark descriptors will be present in every assessment criterion, so assessors must use their discretion in making grading decisions.

The grid below shows the range for each unit assessment result based on total number of marks awarded across all assessment criteria.

To pass the unit assessment learners must achieve a 2 (Low Pass) or above for each of the assessment criteria.

The overall result achieved will dictate the outcome the learner receives for the unit, provided NONE of the assessment criteria have been failed or referred.

Please note that learners will receive a Pass or Fail result from the CIPD at unit level. Referral grades can be used internally by the centre.
