Diabetes Case Study/Competitive Events Studying!

Monday, March 4th!

I hope you are all well. I am in sunny Billings enjoying Key Club convention.

The objectives are easy today:

1)If you are studying for competitive events, then you MUST study for competitive events. You test NEXT week, and it is important that you use this time wisely. On a previous post, I listed a BUNCH of websites, quizlets you can go to to study your event! Please use these and search for more study tools. Also go onto the hosa website, click on the "competitive events guidelines" link, scroll down and find your event(s). Figure out ways that you can prepare for your tests!  Even though you are allowed to go to convention regardless of your score, you want to do well and represent your school well! :)

2)If you are NOT studying for competitive events, then you are going to complete a diabetes case study online. Type your answers on a separate piece of paper and turn them in by Friday.
     a) Go to the Diabetes Case Study
     b) Read the scenario, then proceed through the objectives, page 1, etc.
     c) All the while please complete the questions (you'll be able to answer them through your research and clicking on  links that the case study recommends).
     d) Answer all questions (word document or written on paper)
     e) Send them to Mrs. H's email (hammanga@gmail.com) and/or hand the hard copy in.
     f) DON'T be afraid to learn something new! You must dive in to learn anything new though! :) Have fun :)
