NUR 315 Milestone Two: Draft Guidelines and Rubric In Milestone Two, you will submit a draft of your final project. In Milestone One of the final project, you will have chosen a well-known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, who has a known physiological—as opposed to psychiatric or psychological—disease or illness. In Milestone Two, you will analyze that disease or illness using a systematic approach. You will also develop a plan of care for that disease or illness. Prompt: In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical explanations for variations in findings (when applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collectively for system analysis. Your plan of care should utilize the PIE (planning, intervention, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include at least two short-term and two long-term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypothetical target date or time. The intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals and that are specific in action and frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based on those measures. You may write the plan of care in either narrative format or as a table with appropriate in-text citation used to support the plan of care.

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as at least a 6 to 10 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two peer-reviewed sources cited in APA format.

Critical Elements Proficient (100%) Needs Improvement (75%) Not Evident (0%) Value Introduction Thoroughly introduces the

individual and the associated pathophysiology by defining and describing how the pathophysiology changes normal state, and defining and assessing the clinical manifestations

Briefly identifies and introduces the chosen individual, defines and describes how the pathophysiology changes normal state, and defines and assesses the clinical manifestations, or one of these elements is missing

Does not introduce the individual, define or describe the pathophysiology, or assess the clinical manifestations, or more than one of these elements is missing

15

History Comprehensively describes historical explanations for variations in pathophysiology, identifies physiological stressors and mechanisms that affect the course of the disease, and assesses historical impact of patient care technology

Briefly describes historical explanation for variation, identifies physiological stressors and mechanisms that affect the course of the disease, and assesses historical impact of patient care technology, or one of these elements is missing

Does not describe historical explanation, identify physiological stressors or mechanisms, or assess the historical impact of patient care technology, or more than one of these elements is missing

15

Planning Concisely articulates two short- term and two-long term goal statements, comprehensively analyzes nursing concerns, and identifies appropriate patient care technologies

Articulates fewer than two short-term and two long-term goal statements, briefly analyzes nursing concerns, and identifies patient care technologies

Does not articulate goal statements, analyze nursing concerns, or identify appropriate patient care technologies

15

Intervention Clearly identifies and justifies appropriate nursing interventions and class of medication and assesses patient care technologies for health promotion and patient safety

Identifies but does not justify nursing interventions and class of medication and assesses patient care technologies but does not explain reasoning

Does not identify (or identifies inappropriate) nursing interventions or class of medication and does not assess patient care technologies

15

Evaluation Clearly articulates an evaluation for plan of care, including identification of necessary data, and performs said evaluation

Evaluates plan of care, but does not explain why method of evaluation and data were chosen

Does not evaluate plan of care or uses inappropriate methods

15

Research Adequately supports claims and explanations with use of appropriate evidence-based, peer-reviewed research

Supports most claims and explanations with use of evidence-based, peer-reviewed research

Does not support claims and explanations with use of evidence-based, peer-reviewed research, or literature referenced is inappropriate
