Patho Module Two Assignment

Instructions: 1. Read and study RRD #2 and any other documents that are referred to. 2. Fill in this worksheet after you finish your readings. (Not mandatory to fill in worksheet, but it will help when you are ready to enter your answers into Assignment Submission section.) 3. Click on the Assignment Submission offering when you are ready to enter your answers, and follow the instructions there. Note: the electronic assignment format LOOKS like a test, but you will be able to access the assignment freely UP UNTIL THE DUE DATE. At the due date and time, the assignment submission module will become inaccessible. If you have not submitted your assignment by then you will receive a zero. NOTE: The test questions are all critical thinking questions (CTQs) similar to the ones in these Assignments. Use the ones provided in these assignments as study tools and representatives of how information will be asked on a test. In your studying, remember to approach material via “front-door” and “back door”—for example, if in a test you are given the name of a disease (front door), be able to answer questions about its pathophysiology & S&S. If you are given the patho or S&S (back door), be able to trace them back to the name of the disease….and so forth. Also, read scenarios and questions carefully. Be SURE you understand what is being asked. Then when you go to choose an answer, first read ALL the offerings & choose the one that fits the scenario, plus fits the reading that you have done—the RRD and concept maps. Do not overthink—that is, do not weave in other ungrounded assumptions. Have a good rationale for why you chose the answer that you did…. AND also why you DIDN’T choose the other answers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Remember the patient in Assignment #1, with cancer who can’t eat and has lost 80 pounds?
