NRSG370 Clinical Integration: Specialty Practice

Question:

The supplementary assessment will take the form of case study, in the field of medical-surgical nursing, which discusses the provision of ethical, legal, evidence-based, holistic person-centred care including the establishment of realistic and relevant goals through the theoretical examination of a particular nursing specialty case study using the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013).

Case study instructions:

Utilise the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013) (a clinical decision making

framework) to plan and evaluate person-centred care:

  • Considering the person’s situation, collect, process and present related health information;
  • Identify and prioritise at least three (3) nursing problems/issues based on the health assessment data that you have identified for the person at the centre of care;
  • Establish goals for priority of nursing care as related to the nursing problem/issues identified;
  • Discuss the nursing care of the person, link it to assessment data and history;
  • Evaluate your nursing care strategies to justify the nursing care provided;

Reflect on the person’s outcomes.
