Refer to the exhaustive guidance posted in below which covers how to properly
answer these three questions. Look for the post entitled “Guidance on Course Project (Death Certificate Analysis) Formatting and Grading.” Do not attempt to complete this assignment without first reading the
guidance.
This course project will have 2 death certificates that need to be analyzed by answering the three questions below. The two death certificates to be analyzed are found in the two links above these directions.
Arrange your essay in the order that the Death Certificates are presented (DC1 and DC2) to align with the grading rubric.
1) What is the cause of death and contributing factors, and what is the clinical definition of these
conditions?
2) How could these cause complications for the embalmer?
3) Could there be a public health concern with these conditions?
Use Taber’s to help define the conditions. Each submission must be in APA format, and NOT in list form.
You must use in-text citations as well as a bibliography. There is no length requirement, however higher quality work and in-depth explanations will receive higher credit. DO NOT copy and paste definitions. Use your own words, and cite the source of your information.
(This is all written by my professor, I just copied and pasted)
