Pathophysiology: Procedural Terms

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

After completing the Game Show activity (Note: Your score is not part of your discussion grade):

  • Select five terms and provide an example of the procedural term. (Example: Fragmentaion, the breaking down of solid matter in a body part into pieces.  An example of fragmentation is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.)
  • Identify and summarize one article that was published within two years of the start of this course and addresses the terminology of procedural terms.

Guided Response: Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words. After reading your fellow classmates posts, ask and answer a follow-up question to at least two of your peers by Day 7. Your three required posts must be on three different days of the week. Utilize at least two sources to support your points. Cite and reference your sources in APA format as outlined by the Ashford University Writing Center. (Your textbook cannot be one of the two required sources.)
