Review and familiarize yourself with the assigned pulmonary disease.  Review and familiarize yourself with the Learning Resources associated with developing a Mind Map.

To prepare:

• Review and familiarize yourself with the assigned pulmonary disease. 
• Review and familiarize yourself with the Learning Resources associated with developing a Mind Map. 
• You will not use AI for this Mind Map development. You may refer to what you learned in the AI Mind Map Assessment in Module 2, but AI should not be used for this Assessment.

Submit a mind map for the assigned pulmonary disease. Your mind map should include the following:  

• Etiology 
• Risk Factors 
• Lab Tests 
• Signs and Symptoms 
• 3–5 References 

Before submitting your final assignment, you can check your draft for authenticity. To check your draft, access the Turnitin Drafts.

·        Etiology: Clearly and thoroughly explains the disease’s origin, including relevant pathophysiology; connections are accurate and comprehensive.

·        Risk Factors: Identifies and organizes all major risk factors; demonstrates clear relationships to disease development.

·        Lab Tests: Includes all relevant lab tests; results are accurately connected to disease process; demonstrates deep understanding.

·        Signs and Symptoms: Thoroughly details clinical manifestations; connections to pathophysiology are clear and insightful.

·        Demonstrates strong critical analysis and synthesis of course concepts and module reading

·        Uses at least 3 peer-reviewed scholarly sources.

·        All sources are cited in APA format without any errors. Student work is original-- no AI-generated text is presented as the student’s own, independent work.

·       Uses correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation with no errors.
