Assessment 1  Care Plan

Purpose

This assignment is designed for students to consolidate their learning in the first three  tutorials; to demonstrate their clinical reasoning and application of the Clinical Reasoning  Cycle to plan care for patients with alteration in fluid balance including identifying symptoms, risk  factors  and  pathophysiological  changes;  setting  specific,  measurable, achievable, realistic and timely goals; and planning appropriate nursing actions with rationales based on scientific and best practice nursing literature.

Description

The Care Plan for this assignment is to be written on Care Plan Template .

1.  Students are to select one of the following Nursing Problems for their Care Plan for the scenario patient (Mr Ron Fraser) from the first three tutorials in their tutorial workbook,

either

a.  Altered fluid balance (hypovolaemia) from Scenario 2B, or

b.  Altered fluid balance (hypervolaemia) from Scenario 3A.

2.  Utilising clinical reasoning skills and knowledge students should identify and list the cluster of abnormalities (cues) from the scenario that relate to the identified priority patient

problem, and compare these to recognised normal values.

3.  From the Mr Ron Fraser scenarios identify the risk factors and prior occurrences that may have contributed to the identified problem and support this with reference to literature

4.  Discuss the pathophysiology (altered physiological functioning) that is occurring in the chosen scenario and link this to the symptoms (cues) presented. Support this discussion

with reference to literature.

5.  The priority Nursing Problem should be expressed as an actual Nursing Diagnosis with related to and evidenced by statements .

6. Set a related SMART goal with outcome criteria that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.

7.  Identify four  priority Nursing  Actions  with some detail  to  achieve  the  stated  goal/s

8.  Provide a rationale for each action with reference to scientific or best practice literature.

9.  Provide an APA reference list of all source material used.
