Within your clinical practice environment, select a case through which you can demonstrate your in depth understanding of the pathophysiological changes associated with long-term conditions.

Within your clinical practice environment, select a case through which you can demonstrate your in depth understanding of the pathophysiological changes associated with long-term conditions. The criteria for theory components are outlined below.
Components of Clinical Case:
1.
Maintaining confidentiality, you should BRIEFLY describe the patient situation at admission, including kaupapa, the condition(s) diagnosed, length of time for which diagnosis has been in place, and related information about the need for this admission (maximum 150 words).
2.
Addressing ONE long-term condition, articulate its impact on two body systems at a cellular, tissue and organ system level (Approximately 400 words).
3.
Explain the relationship between clinical findings and related pathophysiological change in body systems that support clinical diagnosis and decision making (Approximately 250 words).
4.
Consider the four taha (hinengaro, wairua, whānau and tinana) and the potential for altered psychological functioning in relation to the chosen condition (Approximately 200 words)
5.
Predict the potential for alterations in the function of other organ systems because of the long-term condition you identified in point 2 (Approximately 200 words).
Components of Health Education Resource:
6.
Create a 3D pathological model to demonstrate its pathological effects and clinical progression of the chronic condition, as identified in step 2. Health education using the 3D pathological model aim to help patients and whānau understand their medical conditions, treatment options and the importance of preventive measures.Create a custom-made 3D pathological model that shows the pathophysiological effects and clinical progression of the chosen chronic condition, as identified in the clinical case.
•
The 3D pathological model focuses on altered functions of the body systems (e.g., 3D model of a cancerous tumor or a clogged artery). Anatomical models that represent healthy body parts, organs or systems will not be accepted.
•
For the peer evaluation activity, you will be delivering health education, using the 3D pathological model, to help patients and whānau understand their medical conditions, treatment options and the importance of preventive measures.
•
The health education delivery should be using language understandable to a general lay person audience, (e.g., patient or whānau).
