This week, you have your first mind map assignment. The focus will be on cardiovascular disorders. Within the assignment, you will see a list of disorders to choose from. You will pick one topic and create a mind map. You can use any template for the mind map, and some examples have been provided for you in this week’s learning resources. The required readings will be a helpful place to start for you to complete the assignment. You can also follow the link below to use Canva to develop your mind map. Make sure you have your references attached.
In this exercise, you will complete a MindMap to gauge your understanding of this week’s content. Select one of the possible topics provided to complete your MindMap.
· myocardial infarction
· congenital heart disease (may select ASD, VSD, or PDA)
· peripheral arterial disease
· peripheral vascular disease
· valvular heart disease
· cardiomyopathy (may select dilated, hypertrophic, or restricted)
· atherosclerosis
· aortic aneurysm
· deep vein thrombosis
· hypertension
· heart failure
Some key points to remember when completing this assignment. 1. Ensure that you follow the rubric and address all sections.
2. Once you complete the mind map and submit the assignment, it is your responsibility to ensure that I can open it and read it clearly. Make sure that the text is large enough and it does not link to a site needing a log in. If I can’t read the text or access the assignment, I will add a comment in the grading section and it will need to be resubmitted. The resubmission will have the grade deducted per policy.
3. This assignment must be in the form of a mindmap. If it is turned in as an essay, it will not be graded and you will receive a comment to resubmit as a mindmap.
