Topic: Diabetes
Introduction – Overview of the pathophysiology of your selected disease – Overview of the effect of the disease on organ system #1 (select an organ system separate from the primary disease process – so if you’re using COPD, don’t discuss the respiratory system – this will be covered in the pathophysiology part above). – Overview of the effect of the disease on organ system #2 (again, select an organ system separate from the primary disease process). – Patient education – you will select a patient education handout from a reliable source – you do not need to create your own! So, for hypertension, you might go to the American Diabetes Association and find a good handout that relates to your topic – for Diabetes. You will review it for cultural and literacy appropriateness, based on the information you’ve learned in the class. You’ll need to include the SMOG score as well – you can use any online calculator/tool to get the SMOG score – there are dozens available just by typing “SMOG score” into any search engine. –
