First paper due and still have no clue

Published

So this is my very first paper, for my very first semester of nursing, and I have no clue where to start or what to do. For one we haven't even started writing care plans with goals or interventions and I have no idea how to use NANDA. I only have a week to write the paper and the teacher has yet to email me back, (she is a very busy person). Anyway here are the guidelines can someone please help me and point me in the right direction....

I have chooseb the topic of Leukemia. I have to find an article or articles and summarize what the articles are saying. (No problem there but how am I going to find an article that says everything.)

Then in depth describe the pathophysiology. (I think I might get this.)

Desribe two medications that may be prescribed and list the actions, side effects, complications, and nursing implications. (I get the meds, but how is it suppose to fit in the paper?)

Nutritional needs for patient. (I get this.)

Describe usual medical management for patient. (Like we would try and get ride of the cancer, if not possible we would make patient comfortable?)

Write a problem list. Include all pertinent nursing diagnosis. Must use NANDA and include problem related to possible manifestations. And include two potential problems. (this part I have no clue!!)

Choose three nursing diagnoses from list and write one goal for each. (I just dont understand how this is going to all fit together. An example of sorts would have been nice.)

Write 8 interventions with rationales for each three problems.

One can see how I am in quite the pickle, I have never even seen a proper nursing paper like this one. And the reason I have to write this paper is for punishment for missing clinical, thats why I have one week also. Any help would be appreciated, or even pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks
