Scenario :

Patient is an 18-year-old female with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis who presents with complaints of increased productive cough and fatigue in the last few days. The patient denies a fever but reports that her appetite hasn’t been good because she is so tired. Patient vital signs: BP 110/70, P 110, Res 28 labored, temp 98.4. Physical exam: Lung sounds Diminished breath sounds bilateral lower lobes with crackles in upper lobes. Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:

• The role genetics plays in the disease.
• Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
• The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
• The cells that are involved in this process.
• How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on 2 different days and respectfully agree or disagree with your colleague’s assessment and explain your reasoning. In your explanation, include why their explanations make physiological sense or why they do not.

This assignment is a combined reading and writing exercise, and your impressions are expected as though applying the literary theory of the reader’s response to the poem you choose to read from the wide selection below.

Enter a typed text separating the analyses of the poems into paragraphs as if writing brief paragraph (mini) essays for each. Type 350-400 words and enter observations and impressions about 3-4 poems, relaying your reactions after reading each one of the poems you’ve chosen to read at least twice. Record your physical responses to poetry from your first read and how you made sense of words, imagery, metaphor, etc., on the second read. This response is expected to be subjective since reading literature is subjective. However, we will strive in this class to write objectively and make strong arguments as we analyze other forms and genres of literature. Poetry is the ideal form of literature to generate such a sensual reaction to the poems. Think of how your senses react to metaphors alluding to or appealing to your five senses.

Explicating a Poem

Write an Explication and Analysis of no less than 300 words of the poem The Word by Chilean author Pablo Neruda. Following this is how to write a poetry explication, and a paragraph sample written. “On Pablo Neruda’s “The Word,” the third stanza delves in the notions that words are pregnant with meaning, and the comparison suggests that words are personified, as though they were a woman with child. When integrating lines from the poem, be sure to enter a parenthetical citation with the number of the line (Line 3) (Neruda, Lines 3 and 7)”

1-Identify literary devices such as allusion, tone, metaphor, style, etc.

2-When you integrate actual verses or lines from the stanza, as to provide evidence to your interpretation, be sure to insert these lines into quotation marks.

3-Avoid writing “Pablo’s poem entitled “The Word” is about… Instead, Neruda’s poem relies upon language , and the power of word as a means to convey notions of existence and the human need to communicate experience. Never call the author by their first name. 

4- Always introduce the title of the work you are responding to, and the author’s full name. Subsequently, use only the author’s last name
