Task description:
 For this task you need to create a single (1) slide (using PowerPoint) colour coded concept map and provide a 750 word explanation, demonstrating analysis of the case study scenario emailed to you in week 1. A PowerPoint template file will be made available for you to customise based on your assigned case scenario.
 In your concept map you must include:
1) Your Interpretation of the patient’s risk factors (from the case-study scenario) and determine how these risk factors relate to the diagnosed disease/disorder using evidence based literature;
2) An outline of the links between the aetiology, cellular pathology and the pathophysiology of the diagnosed disease;
3) A description of how the pathophysiology of the disease/disorder accounts for the patient’s clinical manifestations (described in the case-study scenario); and
4) An analysis and interpretation including evidence-based research to suggest appropriate diagnostic assessments and treatment modalities for the patient’s diagnosis.
 In your 750 word written explanation you must:
1) Explain the links between the patient’s risk factors and aetiology to account for the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology.
2) Describe how the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology manifests through the patient’s signs and symptoms (clinical manifestations).
3) Justify your suggested diagnostic tests and treatment modalities listed in the concept map on their relevance and appropriateness for the diagnosed disease/disorder.
Due Date:
Submission via Turnitin within the course Learning@Griffith site by Monday week 6, 20th August 2018, 5pm.
Other elements:
 The concept map (colour coded) should be a maximum of 1 PowerPoint slide in length and the 750 words written explanation (excluding reference list) should follow on the next slide/s;
 The submitted file MUST BE a PowerPoint file
 You will be presented with a case study scenario electronically (via email) by Friday 20th July (week 1);
 Use APA 6th edition for in-text referencing and in the reference list;
 Reference list should be on separate slide/s following the 750 word written explanation;
 Ensure that the majority of your references have been published within the last 10 years;
 Marking, moderation, and student feedback will be provided electronically based on a marking criteria that is in accordance with University assessment policy;
 5% late penalties apply for each working day after submission date/time; if you submit your assignment more than five days after the due date, you will receive zero.
 Please ensure you receive a turnitin receipt (take a screen shot) after submitting your assignment and please check you have uploaded the correct assessment piece.
 Always refer to the marking criteria as this will assist you to determine the depth of response for each section;
