Signature Assignment: Choose a disease and FABRICATE a patient with all signs/ symptoms and lab results. You are going to FABRICATE a case-study and answer all the questions listed. My advice is to be descriptive and the more you write, the better your paper will be. Your Signature Assignment should be 4-8 pages NOT including title page and reference page. Please use a MINIMUM of 4 REFERENCES to support your paper. I am posting a Sample Signature Assignment below for your reference. Please follow the Structural Format of the sample paper.In order to write a case study paper, you must carefully address a number of sections in a specific order with specific information contained in each. The guideline below outlines each of those sections.
You will be graded on how well you complete each of the above sections. You will also be graded on your use of APA Style and on your application of nursing journals into the treatments and interventions. For integrating nursing journals, remember the following:
Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information
