Assignment: Diabetes Case Study

Read about Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley in The Neighborhood-Pearson Health Science tab (found in the ‘Materials’ section of the online classroom).

Refer to my Disease Case Study grading criteria rubric (I have posted this in the Course Materials forum). All criteria on this rubric must be satisfactorily met to receive full credit for this assignment.

Write a 700 to 1,050-word paper focusing on the case study of either Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley in The Neighborhood. Your paper must include the following:

An introduction

An overview of the incidence of diabetes in the United States

The typical presenting signs and symptoms of diabetes

The potential chronic effects of diabetes on the body

The teaching requirements for Angelo or Jenna with two measurable learning objectives from each of the domains

The psychosocial challenges that Angelo Reyes or Jenna Riley may encounter

A summary

At least five references-only one of these references can be a website. I expect the other references to be from your course material readings (Larsen, Redman, and/or Sommers) or from scholarly journals.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Access The Neighborhood Web site using the link on the student Web site.

Read the following articles in the “Neighborhood News” for Season 1:

  • “Officials confirm pollution worries” (Episode 3)
  • “Hotline puts family at ease” (Episode 4)
  • “ED sees critical capacities” (Episode 7)
  • “Smoking breaks a thing of the past?” (Episode 9)
  • “Flu deaths expected to rise” (Episode 11)

Select two of these articles and decide whether each article is addressing a public health or community health issue.

Prepare to share the articles you selected and discuss whether they address a public health or community health issue in a class discussion.

Post your discussion in “Neighborhood News Article” Thread in the Main Forum.  Be sure to comment on one other classmate’s discussion. See Grading Rubrics in Materials for guidelines.
