My subject is Type 2 diabetes , US based paper, use US only resources .
1. How long should the paper be?
Answer: As long as it takes to answer the questions. A well-written paper may be shorter than a poorly written one. Generally, this paper requires 10-12 pages of content, not including the cover and reference pages. A very short paper is probably inadequate. Longer papers do not always get better grades if they include extraneous material. Keep your writing clear and focused on telling the story of the disease.
2. How many sources do I need? How do I know if I have enough?
Answer: It’s not always the quantity, but the quality that counts as well. If you are doing your research and you keep seeing the same information with nothing new, you have probably covered the material adequately. 6 -8 resources are usually enough depending on the topic. However, they should be listed ONLY if they were cited in the paper. Excessive listing of resources that are obviously above the student’s ability will not improve the grade on the paper.
Briefly define the disease. For instance, “Chickpox is a contagious viral disease
most commonly seen in childhood that results in a generalized raised, red,
maculopapular rash accompanied by intense itching, known as pruritus.” Be sure to
use and define any medical terminology. Only use one or two sentences. Cite all
sources in the text, even if the material is paraphrased.
B). State the morbidity and mortality of the disease (how many people get it – either % of the population or the number per 100,000 each year.) Cite your sources. If the
statistics are from another country, specify which country.
C). Identify the etiology of the disease. If there is no specific etiology, explain some of
the theories that scientists currently believe about the disease.
D). Identify any risk factors for the disease. Be sure to put these in paragraph form – I will take off for lists! Be very specific: say what age, what gender, etc. For instance, say “African American males over aged 65” rather than race, gender, and age.
E). Explain the pathophysiology of the disease. Be sure to explain what is
happening on the cellular level and link it to the signs and symptoms. This should be the largest portion of the paper. I am looking for terms and concepts used class.
F). Identify and define the signs and symptoms of the disease. Be sure to use the correct medical terminology for the signs and symptoms and explain them. I am looking for how the pathophysiology causes the signs and symptoms.
G). Identify and describe the diagnostic tests used and the abnormal findings that would confirm the diagnosis of the disease. Again, be specific. Give normal and diagnostic values for lab tests, abnormal scan findings, etc.
H). Describe the standard treatments used for this disease. Tell me what meds are used and what they do. Briefly describe surgeries and treatments.
I). Describe the complications and sequelae that may arise from the disease. Use appropriate medical terminology and define any terms.
J). Include the references and appropriate citations in APA style on a separate page.
