NURS2001 – Nursing Care Within a Clinical Context – Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task

 

Case study

The learning objectives that you will evidence through this assessment are:
ULO 1: Explain the clinical reasoning required to provide nursing care within a clinical context
ULO 2: Utilise the nursing process to develop individualised nursing care plans focusing on biopsychosocial needs within a clinical setting
ULO 4: Integrate professional standards and behaviours in clinical practice
ULO 5: Identify barriers and enhancers to health, including those affecting self-management
You are still caring for your patient from Assessment 2. An acute event happens to your patient which requires your detection and action to resolve, using the Nursing

Process. You will be required to document a transcript of the ISOBAR handover you would give when reporting the acute event to the medical team, as well as document the event using the Data/Action/Response (DAR) method into the patient’s integrated notes. Finally, you will outline how your actions have evidenced the RN Standards for Practice.

SCENARIO
June underwent surgery for a bowel resection and colostomy formation in the morning. She returned to the ward post-operatively at 13:30. Her post-operative care on this day (Day 1) was uneventful. On Day 2 you return to the ward for a morning shift and are handed over June’s care at 07:00. Her vital signs had been conducted 4 hourly overnight and all were within normal limits. June was asleep at 06:00 so the night nurse decided not to give her prescribed 06:00 paracetamol. At 08:00 you commence vital signs on June. Her temperature is 39.2oC. June states she feels cold and is shivering. Her other observations are within normal limits.

IDENTIFIED PROBLEM: What is June’s immediate problem that you need to address? Please define this problem, and explain the potential adverse outcomes that may occur if the problem is not promptly resolved.
