This guide is for NURS 711 Week 6 Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation, start to submission. A paired PowerPoint on a cardiovascular or pulmonary case with pathophysiology, practice guidelines, the APN role and a management plan.
NURS 711 is Advanced Physiology/Pathophysiology, 3 credit hours, in Liberty University's DNP. Canvas and the course guide file print the code as NURS711; it is the same course.

What NURS 711 Week 6 Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation asks for
Working in pairs, you develop a PowerPoint for a case on a designated topic, covering pathophysiology, professional practice guidelines, the advanced practice nurse's role, and a treatment and management plan with health promotion. It is submitted through SafeAssign in Module/Week 6 and worth 100 points; an abbreviated version is presented in the Week 7 WebEx seminar (50 points).
Where it fits in NURS 711
In the published schedule, Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation is one of 5 graded written assignments in NURS 711. It follows Week 5 Discussion Board Forum 2: Anemias, and it is the last written assignment in the course.
How NURS 711 Week 6 Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation is graded
Liberty grades Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in NURS 711 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 960 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 711 Week 6 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Meet the source requirement (Professional practice guidelines and scholarly sources, in current APA) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (A complete case presentation, no slide count set in the guide; an abbreviated version presented in Week 7), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for NURS 711 Week 6 Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Case Presentation
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The case | Patient presentation and key findings. | ~170 words |
| Pathophysiology | The mechanism behind the findings. | ~290 words |
| Practice guidelines | The current guideline that governs management. | ~240 words |
| Management plan | Diagnostics, treatment and follow-up. | ~260 words |
| APN role and health promotion | Coordination, education and prevention. | ~240 words |
A topic angle that works
Anchor the management slides in the named guideline (ACC/AHA for heart failure or hypertension, GOLD for COPD, GINA for asthma) and cite its specific recommendation on each slide, so the plan is clearly guideline-based.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Management, slide 9: our patient has COPD with two moderate exacerbations last year and a high symptom burden, which places him in GOLD group E.1 The GOLD report recommends a long-acting beta agonist plus long-acting muscarinic antagonist, adding an inhaled corticosteroid if blood eosinophils are 300 or more; his count is 340, so triple therapy is indicated.2 Pulmonary rehabilitation referral and vaccination complete the plan, as the guideline recommends for every patient in this group.3
- Classifies the case with the guideline.
- Applies a specific recommendation with the patient's data.
- Includes non-drug management.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 711 Week 6
- Management without a named guideline.
- Pathophysiology missing.
- No health promotion.
