Posts Tagged ‘how to make pathophysiology’

All student experience to do reporting in their class a certain topic and when I was still a nursing student we are constantly ask to report different drugs, diagnosis and I love if. In nursing subject, they discuss topics about different illness, diagnosis and because of that nursing student should know how certain illness affect ones body and that’s how pathophysiology is. But pathophysiology is one part of report that is not easy.

Some books or reference have their pathophysiology and it is in paragraph form. When I was still a student, my classmates just used that pathophysiology. I believe they just copied it which I think not good because they just read it in front of our class without even understanding what does it really mean. So i’m going to give tips on how to improve those paragraphs form and make it easier to understand.

Read the paragraph from your reference book and get the important details, gets the signs and symptoms for a certain step. After you read it… try to make a chart using those details and put the signs and symptoms to their respective causes. And that’s it… You professor will definitely like your reporting because they know if you just copied it or not… remember there is no pathophysiology that is written in chart or arrows in a book… and make sure you can explain it in your class… If you need more reference for you to use then go for it…

I’ll have an example of my own pathophysiology…PNEUMONIA (sorry if i cant put arrow down)
