[pic] P.O.W.E.R. Final Case Study Due the day before finals.
Students will choose a health related topic of their choice, find 6 sources about that topic, and design a case study that other students will take as part of their final for this class. Use the template below to complete the case study. Students will be assessed on the general gifted rubric.
Final Part 1: 90 points design a case study. Part 2: 10 points review other case studies.
|Topic/Title: |Organ Transplant |
|Essential Question |What must be done for an organ transplant? Why does the body reject some organs and except others? What is Rheumatic Fever? |
|2 learning objectives |Students will 1.learn what is required for a person to be a donor and 2. What the rejection rate is for different organs and why |
| |the organs are rejected. They will also learn about rheumatic fever. |
|Narrative to set up the |Jarrod is a 40-year-old man with a seven year old and a four year old. His wife died suddenly three years ago from a systemic |
|problem part 1 (120 to 150 |infection. He was generally healthy until he devolved a persistent cough that lasted for six months. When he finally decided to |
|words) |go to the doctor he was diagnosed with an advanced case of lung disease that was thought to have devolved during his childhood |
| |because his parents where such heavy smokers. Since his case is so advanced his only option is a double lung transplant. The |
| |doctor warned him that lung transplants only have a 45-53% chance of success and If the new lungs are accepted there would still |
| |be a high chance of infection. Jarrod decides to go home and consider his options before making his final decision. |

| | |
|4 questions to part 1. |1. What is an the process one must go through to get an organ? |
| |2. What defines a healthy donor? |
| |3. When are organ transplants considered as treatment? |
| |4. Do you think Jarrod should go through with the operation? |
|Narrative to set up problem|After carefully deliberation, Jarred finally decides to go through with the operation. It was a success. The lungs had been |
|part 2 (120 to 150 words) |accepted. Jarrod’s life continues as normal until two months after the organ transplant. Jarrod had developed strep thought that |
| |quickly turned into rheumatic fever. After the strep had been cured his heart continued to be damaged until a heart transplant |
| |was the only option left. Luckily a heart is available but the risks are the same as before, Infection and rejection. Without |
| |the new heart Jarred will die relatively quickly but if he does get the new heart if it is rejected he will die. Either way he |
| |has to small children to think about, so he must make the most rational decision he can to continue living. [pic] |

| |1. What are the criteria for heart transplant? |
| |2. What happens when an organ is rejected? |
