MODULE 5: EXAM BUSTER RUBRIC- PREGNANCY AND EPIGENETICS
Description
EXAM BUSTER – EPIGENETIC COUNSELING – 30 POINTS Congratulations! You are now a graphic designer. Your assignment is to design a pamphlet that will be used by physicians and OBGYN professionals to counsel pregnant women. In this instance, you are counseling a pregnant patient on potential negative healthcare outcomes related to epigenetic mechanisms and methylation processes. You need to produce a pamphlet that support staff can use to counsel their pregnant patients. The main objective of this pamphlet is to educate your patients on the mechanisms involved in epigenetics, methylation processes, and healthcare outcomes. I expect that you will add at least one diagram to your pamphlet that can be used to visually guide the patient through the educational process as well as a narration/script written in plain, clear, succinct language. You need to turn in your pamphlet digitally to canvas – 30 POINTS Overall appeal of the pamphlet and presence of an educational diagram – 2.5 POINTS Health endpoints clearly listed – 5 POINTS Description of the methylation process – 5 POINTS List of epigenetic mechanisms – 5 POINTS Explanation of how genes are activated and inactivated -5 POINTS Encouragement and incentive to expectant mothers to monitor and mediate exposure to poor environmental condition – 2.5 POINTS All figures, statistics, and statements need to be supported by a reliable reference. For example, if you do not reference where you got your list of health endpoints you will not get credit for them. Whoever reads your pamphlet (like one you would get in a physician’s office) should be able to go to the source of your information. You need to provide a reference section that shows where you got your information – 5 POINTS HINT: Word has a pamphlet template that can be used.
