Rotation A: Patient Research

Staff Number 21 -
You have been assigned a 24 year-old male patient who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

You need to research how multiple sclerosis affects the human body to be able to answer the following questions:

• What is multiple sclerosis?
• What are the organs/body parts that are most affected by multiple sclerosis and how does multiple sclerosis affect each of them?
• What body system(s) do each of these organs/body parts belong to, and how are these body system(s) affected by multiple sclerosis?
• Overall, how does multiple sclerosis affect the human body?
• How is multiple sclerosis treated or cured?

Web Resources (Links)

You need to complete a works cited guide listing the sources (books, Web sites, encyclopedias...) you used to find your information. You should also list any sources you obtained pictures or graphics from. This sheet needs to be turned in at the BEGINNING of Day 3.

Homework due before Rotation B:
Prepare a brief (up to 3 minutes) public service announcement to explain why there should be more funding for multiple sclerosis research and treatment. Your announcement should contain all the answers to the above questions. Make a prop/poster that will help you present your findings to the public.
