Assignment 1: Discussion Questions
Complete as directed by the Facilitator.
Discussion Question Response: By Week 2, Day 3, post your response to the discussion question in the appropriate threads in the Discussion Area.
Participation Responses: No later than Week 2, Day 7, review and comment on the discussion question responses posted by at least two of your peers.
Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.
In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations, references, and examples; and that demonstrates a clear connection to the readings.
In your participation responses to your peers, comments must demonstrate thorough analysis of postings and extend meaningful discussion by building on previous postings.
Discussion Question
Differentiate between the presenting signs of symptoms of a 55-year-old suffering from acute bronchitis and a 55-year-old suffering from pneumonia. In your response, discuss the most typical community-acquired pathogens involved with each of these illnesses. Include some comments related to potential cultural influences on managing the illnesses. Provide evidence for your response as a reference.
