Research Paper

A Research Paper is being required in lieu of a final examination and covers topics that have been presented during the course. Prepare a Research Paper from one of the topics selected from those listed below:

1. Research a recent (within the last three years) hazardous materials incident on U.S. roadways involving

trucking and describe what happened, what specific safety measures were and were not followed, and

how the accident might have been avoided or results of the accident reduced.

2. Research a recent (within the last three years) major accident on roadways of the U.S. involving a

truck/trailer combination that resulted in major damage or major injuries. Describe the factors leading up

to the accident and how application of specific principles you have learned in this course could have

either prevented the accident or reduced the damages.

3. Research a major terrorism incident involving use of a vehicle as a weapon (within the last three years)

anywhere in the world and describe what specific measures could have been taken to prevent the

incident or to lessen its impact.

The paper should be at least five to seven pages in length, be written using APA format and have the following elements:

Cover sheet

Introduction

Description of accident

Specific measures or factors listed that were not followed or led up to the accident

Recommendations as to what specifically could have been done to prevent or reduce damage from the

accident/incident

A conclusion section giving a summary to support your views/ideas

Note: If you use an accident that has been fully investigated by an agency of the government and you utilize their recommendations, you must explain why you feel

each of these recommendations are valid and how you feel that

they could be put into place.

APA Guidelines

CSU requires that students use the APA style for papers and projects. Therefore, the APA rules for formatting,

quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed. A document titled “APA Guidelines Summary”

is available for you to download from the APA Guide Link, found in the Learning Resources area of the myCSU

· Discussion: Alterations in Cellular Processes

· At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.

· Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

· For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.

A 27-year-old patient with a history of substance abuse is found unresponsive by emergency medical services (EMS) after being called by the patient’s roommate. The roommate states that he does not know how long the patient had been lying there. Patient received naloxone in the field and has become responsive. He complains of burning pain over his left hip and forearm. Evaluation in the ED revealed a large amount of necrotic tissue over the greater trochanter as well as the forearm. EKG demonstrated prolonged PR interval and peaked T waves. Serum potassium level 6.9 mEq/L.

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.
