For this task you need to create a single (1) slide (using PowerPoint) colour coded concept map and 750word 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:1) Interpret the patient’s risk factors (from the case-study scenario) and determine how these risk factorsrelate to the diagnosed disease/disorder;2) Outline the links between the aetiology, cellular pathology and the pathophysiology of the diagnoseddisease;3) Describe how the pathophysiology of the disease/disorder accounts for the patient’s clinical manifestations(described in the case-study scenario); and4) Analyse and interpret evidence-based research to suggest appropriate diagnostic assessments andtreatment 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’spathophysiology.2) Describe how the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology manifests through the patient’s signs andsymptoms.3) Justify your suggested diagnostic tests and treatment modalities listed in the concept map on theirrelevance and appropriateness for the diagnosed disease/disorder.Due Date:Submission via Turnitin within the course Learning@Griffith site by Monday week 6, 16th April 2018, 5pm.Other elements:

Concept map
Clearly identifies ALL the risk factors from thescenario relating to the patient’s diagnosis. Correctly links these risk factors and the aetiologywith the disease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology. Clearly identifies and logically sequences thedisease’s/disorders pathophysiological steps. Clearly identifies ALL the clinical manifestationsfrom the scenario relating to thedisease’s/disorder’s pathophysiology. Identifies and links appropriate diagnosticassessments and treatment modalities within thebroader concept map.35
Written explanation
Clearly explains how the listed risk factors andaetiology contributes to the patient’s diagnosis. Provides a detailed analysis of thepathophysiological justification for the patient’sclinical manifestations. The listed diagnostic assessments and treatmentmodalities are justified for their appropriatenessrelating to the patient’s diagnosis, and substantiatedwith citations.45
Use of references
Written explanation includes reputable, current andappropriate references. No fewer than 10 references used. Referencing as per APA Style 6th Edition, in-textand in reference list.10
