Research and Synthesis Paper
Note, the chosen health condition is COPD and the population is norther ca or CA residents (Depending on how difficult it is to obtain info).
Discuss how CA wildfires have affected people with COPD here.
Write a 2500- to 3000-word paper (10 to 12 pages, where the page count does not include the title page or reference list) using formal writing mechanics and APA format. The paper should demonstrate the knowledge you gained relative to your chosen health-related condition and specific population. You can exceed the word count if necessary.
Incorporate each of the following items relative to your selected health condition, using citations and references for your sources:
Definition
Epidemiology and etiology
Brief description of normal physiology
A comprehensive explanation of the pathophysiology of the disorder
Clinical manifestations
Use your textbook to determine the specific manifestations for your disorder, but you must also use credible websites to identify the manifestations for the disorder.
Labs and diagnostics
Include every diagnostic that could be possibly used for the system, as well as other systems that might be involved.
Identify labs and diagnostics that would be needed to evaluate possible complications to other organs, as well as for the disorder itself.
Clinical management related to the disorder
This should be based on national standardized guidelines.
You might want to use your place of practice to also learn about what guidelines are being implemented to manage the disorder.
Use at least 7 peer-reviewed research articles from journals no older than 5 years for current evidence-based guidelines. Include standardized guidelines of care from at least one credible website (do not use .com websites), associations, or organizations that support management of the chosen condition.
Incorporate each of the following items relative to the selected population (individual, family, population, and community; all four elements must be included):
Specific issues or concerns relative to this identified community and population and this specific health condition
Pertinent developmental concerns as appropriate
Cultural and socio-cultural considerations
Prognosis and long-term care considerations
Pediatric and/or geriatric considerations
Suitable health promotion recommendations
