Instructions:

1)Choose a single news story which has been covered in the last year. It must be a news story which covers an event, and therefore has many articles written about it over the span of at least an entire week. You can search news website archives for older stories.
(For example: The Olympics or another sporting event, NY Fashion week, a product, a lawsuit..)

You can either follow the news story on a single news site and see how the story is covered over the course of a week – or alternatively, you can use a variety of news sources and see how they cover the story differently. **NOTE** You must read and write about the same topic so choose wisely 🙂

2)Search on reputable, verified news websites for the news story
You can use BBC.com/ guardian.com/ globeandmail.ca/ nationalpost.ca/ or any other English based official news source discussed in class. DO not use a fake news or blog site. It must be a news sourcE

How to Write your Blog:

Each blog should be about 250-350 words in length. Blogs tend to contain personal analysis and language and are often formatted in multiple paragraphs to allow the reader to easily skim. Make sure each mini paragraph is well organized and that the content is relevant in each section. You may use headings with catchy titles if you wish, and each blog should have a title. The content should be concise, to the point, catchy and not too wordy. Avoid repetition!

Try to answer the following questions when writing each blog as a guideline (you can include your opinion and write in first person) The questions do not need to be answered in the order presented here.

-What is the story about?: Provide a brief objective summary of the news story was about (2-3 sentences)
-Was the story neutral/ objective?: (Did the story have bias, and why do you think so? (2-3 sentences)
-What did you learn?: Explain new information which you were not aware of before reading the story (1-2 sentences)
-Is this story useful?: How can the public benefit from this information and is it useful for the public to have this knowledge? Can you ask a provocative question about the larger issue it represents to keep the reader interested (a hook or cliffhanger conclusion or intro) 2-3 sentences

Each blog must contain an APA citation from where you accessed the article and in text citations when necessary. (see APA ciations in the course pack for details)

Of course, it is common in our speech, but this class requires formal college writing, which must be different and much more formal in most cases (in satire, I give slightly more leeway, but I’d still prefer that you avoid second person). So, go through your papers and purge all uses of you, yourself, your, you’re, and words like that. The other way second person is used is in imperative verbs because the “you” is understood. Examples: Imagine what the world would be like if we had flying cars. Don’t think about that guy. Research the topic before writing a paper and always proofread. Pay attention. They are all imperative verbs, and they are also second person, So, look for them and eliminate them! Meri Rogoff First, read each story and take the accompanying quiz for it; see below.

Assignment: Disorders of the Veins and Arteries
Advanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT.
To Prepare
Review the section “Diseases of the Veins” (pp. 598-599) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.
Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.
To Complete
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.
Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.
