CriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Select one of the possible topics provided and complete the MindMap Template.1) Describe the pathophysiology of the primary diagnosis in your own words. What are the patient’s risk factors for this diagnosis?20 to >17.0 pts ExcellentA thoroughly completed MindMap Template with a selected topic was submitted. The response accurately and thoroughly describes in detail the pathophysiology of the primary diagnosis in the student’s own words.
