Assignment:
Overview
This module, you will find articles of interest around the following areas: endocrine system diseases, the musculoskeletal system, and integumentary system diseases. These systems govern our physical and emotional place in the world, and can impact us accordingly if we were to suffer from any of these diseases. Think about how these disorders can impact how a person lives day-to-day.
Instructions
1. From the list of selected readings below, choose two with topics that you know the least about or are most interesting to you.
2. Then search for, read, and incorporate other readings of your choice in your area of interest that focus on endocrine system diseases, the musculoskeletal system, and/or integumentary system diseases. You might include:
o 1 to 2 journal articles or websites
o Book chapters (past textbooks may be good options)
o Your goal is to have a total of at least 60 pages of content read.
3. Your summary of each reading should be at least one paragraph (100 to 200 words) and include the following information:
o All references must be cited using APA Style format. Please refer to the CCCOnline APA Citation Toolkit.
o Number of pages read
o Keywords you used to find the reading
o A link to the reading
o Why you selected the reading
o The main point of the reading
o Describe how the health deviations you read about alter normal physiology.
o Provide your key takeaway from the reading. This could be something that made you pause, changed your thinking, supported your thinking, or made you question something.
4. In your post, identify how the specific conditions discussed in each reading could impact a person's connection to the world. List the prognosis of the condition and how you, as a future medical professional, would provide support to your patient.
