WEEK 6 DISEASE PROCESS PEER REVIEW
PURPOSE
The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:
– Develop
professional presentation/communication skills.
– Demonstrate
an advancing understanding of pathophysiological processes of body systems that
result in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who present with these
disorders in these systems.
– Demonstrate
the ability to analyze the literature to obtain the most current,
evidence-based resources on the assigned disease process
– Demonstrate
and practice professional communication and leadership, while advancing the
education of peers.
COURSE OUTCOMES
1. Analyze pathophysiological mechanisms associated with
select disease states
5. Relate research findings to the management of patients
with complex pathophysiologic dysfunction
TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE: 50 POINTS
DUE DATE: THURSDAY, 11:59 P.M. MT
REQUIREMENTS
Students are to review at least one peer Disease Process
Presentation using the guidelines below. The peer review is due by Thursday,

Address the following criteria:
When reviewing a peer’s presentation, choose twoof the
criteria below and create questions, comments and feedback that center’s on the
peer’s content provided under the chosen criteria. In your posting, clearly

explain why and provide further information supported by evidence to defend
your position.
1. Introduce the disease with a brief definition and
description.
2. Discuss the risk factors and the connection to the
etiology of the initial injury to the cell/tissue/organ.
3. Discuss health care provider implications for prevention
of the disease.
4. Show the progression from the initial injury to the
defect in the tissue, organ and system functioning.
5. Link changes in the tissue, organ, and system functioning
to the initial presenting signs and symptoms seen in primary care of the
disease.
6. Provide a brief description of how the disease is
diagnosed.
7. Provide a brief description of the pharmacological and
non-pharmacological interventions used to treat and manage the disease.
8. Summarizes the disease on final slide with concluding
remarks; includes implication for nurse practitioner practice.
