Purpose

This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to develop an evolving case study that would be useful as part of a small group activity in the clinical setting. It should not be written for a simulation learning activity. Using a concept presented in Weeks 2, 3, and 4, the student incorporates the elements expected of an evolving case study as well as includes pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment.

Course Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to do the following.

CO 1: Synthesize educational theories and knowledge from nursing and health sciences to foster experiential learning strategies and positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1)

CO 2: Integrate pathophysiologic mechanisms with advanced assessment and pharmacologic concepts to maximize holistic, person-centered outcomes in complex disease states. (POs 1, 2, 3, 5) 

CO 3: Integrate caring and person-centered concepts within diverse practice settings to maximize healthcare and learner outcomes. (PO 2)

CO 4: Employ a spirit of inquiry to foster professional development to facilitate the achievement of educational outcomes. (PO 3)

CO 6: Promote positive health and education outcomes by fostering the use of evidence-based and interprofessional strategies in experiential settings. (PO 5)

Due Date: Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 5

Total Points Possible: 180 points

Requirements

Description of the Assignment

This assignment requires the student to develop an evolving case study that would be useful in either the clinical or classroom setting. It is not written for a simulation learning activity. The evolving case study must focus on a concept assigned from Giddens (2017) required textbook during Weeks 2, 3, and 4. In addition, the student must identify Socratic questions related to the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health assessment used in the evolving case study. The study demonstrates the following.

· Initial presentation (i.e., Stage 1) regarding the health status of the patient

· Progress to Stage 2 with the occurrence of event that requires the identification of the appropriate response from learners

· Ends with Stage 3 that is based upon the action identified by learners

The development of Socratic questions useful for debriefing following completion of the evolving case study are required.

Criteria for Content

Overview of the assignment

The evolving case study starts with background information that provides an overview; description of the patient; and the report provided to the participants using the format of situation, background, assessment, and recommendation (SBAR). Progressing over time with a fictional patient’s health status changing, this evolving case study presents the situation in three stages. Stage 1 is the initial stage where the patient’s healthcare situation is presented, followed by a trigger, which represents a health challenge or worsening of health. Participants identify the appropriate interventions to maintain a stable health status as well as recognize via assessment the deterioration in the fictional patient’s health. Stage 2 continues the presentation of the patient with progressive decline in health status requiring the identification of appropriate actions by participants. A trigger for Stage 3 will be identified based on the stabilization of the fictional patient. An outcome of the evolving case study is suggested as part of Stage 3. Preparation for the debriefing of participants is considered by the identification of Socratic questions.
