Please read instructions carefully

You will write 100-200 words per article that you read. You must read 60 pages of articles total for Module 1.

So the number of summaries you will write depends on how long the articles you choose are. For example, if you choose 6 articles that are 10 pages long each, you will write 6 summaries that are each 100-200 words long. If the articles you choose are only 6 pages long, you will have to choose 10 articles to meet the requirements and you will summarize each of the 10 articles in 100-200 words each.

I will attach the template for the Disease Analysis Journal to this email. This is where you will type in the 100-200 word summaries and the rest of the information for each article.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Disease Analysis Journal

Discussion Topic

Top of Form

When you are faced with a medical case and do not know how to approach it or have questions, what do you do? Even experienced nurses, dentists, doctors, and pharmacists will go to their smartphones and begin searching for answers. So much information is available. How do you know what information is reliable and valid? The purpose of the journal assignment is for you to practice finding, evaluating, and summarizing resources around key concepts that are presented throughout the module, which are relevant to your specific area of interest. This journal should be valuable to you; you can collect sites, resources, and readings that you find helpful to your learning.

This module will focus on the following topics that examine how our body responds, or rather adapts, to environmental toxins on a cellular level:

Cellular adaption and neoplasia

Infection, immunity, and inflammation

Hematological disorders

You should spend approximately 10 hours on this assignment.

Instructions

From the list of selected readings below, choose two with topics that you know the least about or are most interesting to you.

Then search for, read, and incorporate other readings of your choice in your area of interest that focus on cellular adaption and neoplasia; infection, immunity, and inflammation; and/or hematological disorders. You might include:

1-2 journal articles or websites

Book chapters (past textbooks may be good options)

Your goal is to have a total of at least 60 pages of content read.

Your summary of each reading should be at least one paragraph (100-200 words) and include the following information:

Download the Disease Analysis Journal template Word document or build your journal in your own Word document. You will add to this document in each module (do not start a new journal document for each module). By the end of the course, you will have all five journal assignments in one single document.

Attach your Word document to a post in the Module 1 Discussion 2: Disease Analysis Journal discussion board.

In your post, respond to the following questions: How do you know that the material you have found and read is reliable? How do you know that it is valid?

Respond to 2 classmates’ Journal postings. Acknowledge their posts, build upon what they have written, and conclude with a question or thought to further our discussion.
