There must be analysis of the patient’s medical condition(s) demonstrating the ability to apply theoretical concepts including (but not limited to) pharmacology; pathophysiology; anatomy and physiology. There must be discussion and evaluation of nursing and medical management of the patient. Sound clinical rationales must be provided that support the care given to the patient. Appropriate evidence based literature sources must be used and APA 6th edition referencing used throughout. You must follow Academic Standards and policy in writing, with the report to be written in third person. The CCC Report must be uploaded with the CCC Declaration cover sheet otherwise the report will not be marked until a copy is received by the tutor allocated to mark the report. Please refer to the marking guide below for the specific requirements of the assignment, you may use the marking guide headings throughout your paper however please note the section on Evaluation of nursing and medical management should not be a heading but should be integrated throughout your entire paper supporting your knowledge and understanding of the patient case. Student Name: ID: Performance standard Assessment criteria Weighting Excellent (13-15) Good (10-12) Satisfactory (7.5-9) Unsatisfactory (0-7) Notes Introduction: • Introduces patient presented for clinical case conference. • Presents biographical data • Presents current medical history of patient. • Presents relevant past medical history of patient. 15% /15 Excellent presentation and introduction of the patient Confidentiality maintained. Introduction to the case clearly described. Introduction to the case described but not clear. Inadequate or no introduction of essay. No introduction to the case. Confidentiality not maintained Assessment criteria Weighting Excellent (27-35) Good (22-26) Satisfactory (17.5-21) Unsatisfactory (0-17) Notes Discussion: • Demonstrates understanding of patient’s medical condition(s), including relevant anatomy and physiology and in - depth pathophysiology discussion. • Nursing management Included - clinical assessment using systems- based approach, explanation of how nursing management relates to medical management with clear clinical rationales provided, role of interdisciplinary team involvement explained, and primary health care strategies described. • Medical management and Treatments described including all relevant pharmacological, non – pharmacological treatments, pain management explained, and clear clinical rationales provided. 35% /35 Nursing management very well explained with good evaluation. Succinct, correct clinical rationales provided. Clinical assessment findings are clearly described, using systems- based approach. Logical and orderly progression of ideas, with good use of headings. Relevant laboratory results / diagnostic tests provided and explained succinctly. Relevant psychosocial aspects of the case reported empathically, and management described. Ethical and legal aspects described clearly and objectively. Nursing management well explained with some evaluation. Well written and mostly correct clinical rationales provided. Clinical assessment findings are described using systems-based approach. Good progression of ideas, with appropriate headings. Relevant laboratory results / diagnostic tests provided and explained. Relevant psychosocial aspects of the case reported, and some comments made. Ethical and legal aspects described. Nursing management explained with limited evaluation and deserves more attention. Clinical rationales provide some justification for care but are not always well written. Adequate history of the patient described. Clinical assessment findings using systems-based approach is limited and do not present clear case. Organized with some confusing sequencing or structure or poor use of headings. Laboratory results / diagnostic tests provided with limited linking to theoretical concepts. Relevant psychosocial aspects of the case reported but described at superficial level. Ethical and legal aspects described superficially. Nursing management poorly explained with little evaluation. Clinical rationales are poor and in the main either too brief or too lengthy. History of the patient is described too briefly. Clinical assessment findings using systems- based approach is absent, superficially or poorly described, no or inadequate discussion of the head to toe assessment of the patient. Poorly structured discussion. Writing is disjointed, clumsy and/or repetitive. Poor use of headings. Relevant laboratory results / diagnostic tests not provided or are explained poorly. Relevant psychosocial aspects of the case not reported. Ethical and legal aspects not described adequately. • Relevant Laboratory results / Diagnostic tests included and discussed. • Evidence of ability to make clinical inferences based upon the data available. • Psychosocial / Environmental / Economic aspects discussed • Ethical and legal aspects included • Education needs of patient / family addressed • Discharge Planning addressed A depth of understanding is reflected in discussion. All relevant and contentious areas thoroughly addressed. Considerable additional reading evident and incorporated in presentation. Meaningful synthesis of the evidence presented soundly. Education needs very well covered. Discharge planning shows comprehensive awareness of the patient’s needs as identified and clearly discussed in presentation. Care provided by the interdisciplinary team clearly and thoroughly described. Al relevant A&P, pathophysiology and pharmacology discussed to a very high standard, linking to the patient case and showing an excellent depth of knowledge of the patient condition and treatments. Sound understanding of the condition/ situation reflected with appropriate evidence sources used. More than adequate additional reading evident. Effective synthesis of themes evident. Education needs covered quite well with only small areas for improvement. Discharge planning shows awareness of all the patient’s needs as identified and discussed during the presentation. Care provided by the interdisciplinary team described, but not very well evaluated. Al relevant A&P, pathophysiology and pharmacology discussed, some small gaps in the knowledge however overall the student demonstrated a good level of knowledge of the presented patient case. Adequate understanding of the condition/ situation reflected, and appropriate evidence sources used. Adequate additional reading evident. Synthesis of themes of the evidence attempted. Most education needs of patient covered. Discharge planning shows some awareness of the patient’s needs and discussed. Care provided by the interdisciplinary team described, but not evaluated. Al relevant A&P, pathophysiology and pharmacology discussed however limited knowledge and integration into patient case noted.

Education needs not addressed at all or superficially at best. Discharge planning discussion poor. Care provided by the interdisciplinary team inadequately or very poorly described, with little emphasis on the role of the nurse.
