Module 2
Week 3
You will complete a Knowledge Check (KC) to gauge your understanding of this moduleâs content. Due end of week 3.
KC are available to work on from day one but are to be submitted anytime during the week assigned. (week 3 assignment)
In this exercise, you will complete essay type questions in Knowledge Check to gauge your understanding of this moduleâs content.
Like the discussion question assigned, there are some points to make substantively, do need to cite in KC at least one primary current reference. but each answer is worth 20 points. I would expect about 1 paragraphs per answer (a paragraph would include 6-10 sentences).
KC are not timed like Midterm and final exams; with KC, you can stop and start from day 1 til end of day 7.
I will randomly submit through SafeAssign to avoid plagiarism but you the student do not need to submit KCs through SafeAssign.
Possible topics covered in this Knowledge Check include:
myocardial infarction
endocarditis
myocarditis
valvular disorders
lipid panels
coagulation
clotting cascade
deep vein thrombosis
hypertension
heart failure
COPD
