It will allow for the expansion of knowledge and the ability to generalize larger concepts to a variety of health conditions. Course outcomes:This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
1.Explain the pathophysiologic processes of select health conditions. (PO 1)
2.Predict clinical manifestations and complications of select disease processes. (PO 1, 8)
3.Correlate lifestyle, environmental, and other influences with changes in levels of wellness. (PO 1, 7)
Due date:Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.Total points possible: 100 pointsPreparing the assignmentFollow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
