Heart Attack: Incidence, Pathophysiology, Assessment, and Care

Goal: Develop a PowerPoint presentation on a cardiovascular/pulmonary disorder/disease discussed in the McCance text.
The presentation must provide information about the incidence, prevalence, and pathophysiology of the disease/disorder to the cellular level. The presentation must educate advanced practice nurses on assessment and care/treatment, including genetics/genomics—specific for this disorder. Patient education for management, cultural, and spiritual considerations for care must also be addressed. The presentation must specifically address how the disease/disorder affects 1 of the following age groups: infant/child, adult, or elderly.
Format Requirements:
• Presentation is original work and logically organized.
• Followed APA format including citation of references.
• Power point presentation with 10-15 slides were clear and easy to read. Speaker notes expanded upon and clarified content on the slides.
• Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Journal articles and books should be referenced according to APA style (the library has a copy of the APA Manual).
Content Requirements:
• Select a cardiovascular or pulmonary disorder.
• Provide information about the incidence, prevalence, and pathophysiology of the disease/disorder to the cellular level.
• Educate advanced practice nurses on assessment and care/treatment, including genetics/genomics—specific for this disorder.
• Provide patient education for management, cultural, and spiritual considerations for care must also be addressed.
• Must specifically address how the disease/disorder affects 1 of the following age groups: infant/child, adult, or elderly.
