· Week 3 - Nursing Grand Rounds Part 1_Holistic Assessment

Assignment Overview:  

The Week 3 Assignment is part of a scaffolded assignment and serves as the basis for creation of the Week 5 Assignment.  

For the Week 3 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Presentation Part 1: Holistic Assessment, you will meet with and assess a selected participant and complete the accompanying Holistic Assessment Form.  In Week 5, you will complete the Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation, which is a teaching presentation.

For the Week 5 Assignment, you will use the data collected in the Week 3 Assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation designed to educate your selected participant about an identified medical condition they are experiencing. The Week 3 Assignment data will be used as a foundation for creating the patient-centered teaching presentation due in Week 5.

Assignment Directions: 

· Identify an participant known to you who has a current medical health condition. The participant must be 18 years or older and legally capable of consenting to participate in this activity. The participant  CANNOT be a family member or a client you have cared for in your professional nursing practice. Using a client or patient who was assigned to receive care from you by an employer, agency, facility, or any organization will result in earning a score of zero (0) points for the assignment.

· Be sure the participant is diagnosed with a medical health condition that meets the assignment requirements. The participant’s medical health condition cannot be congenital (i.e., present at birth). Instead, the medical health condition must have a pathophysiology. The medical condition also must be a primary health alteration (e.g., cyclic vomiting syndrome), and not simply a sign or symptom that is a manifestation of a primary medical disorder (e.g., hyponatremia, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, etc.).

· Complete the  Holistic Assessment Form attached for the selected participant, then upload the completed form to the Dropbox by the end of Week 3. The form should be typed. The course faculty will review and grade the form for completion and accuracy and will approve the participant/medical condition you have selected as the focus for the Week 5 Assignment.  Be sure you have approval from course faculty before you begin working on the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation.

· After successfully completing the Week 3 Assignment and obtaining faculty approval of the selected participant/medical condition, follow the instructions for completing the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation.

Please be sure to view both the  assignment instructions and the  grading rubric prior to completing and submitting an assignment. 

The Week 3 Assignment requires completion and upload of the following item to the assignment dropbox: 

Here are some FAQs about the Weeks 3 and 5 Assignments: 

Q1. Can my selected participant/patient for the Weeks 3 and 5 Assignments be a family member or friend? 

Response 1: No, the participant who is the subject of your Weeks 3 and 5 Assignments cannot be a family member. However, the selected participant may be a friend. They must be 18 years or older and legally capable of giving consent to participate in the activity. 

Q2: Can I choose an actual patient who is assigned to my care as part of my work? 

Response 2: No, the patient cannot be someone who is assigned to your care as part of a work assignment/paid nursing assignment.  To do so may constitute a HIPAA violation. 

Q3: Can I complete my assignment while I am working for an employer?  

Response 3: No. The assignment cannot be completed during work hours or during periods in which you are being paid by an employer or contractor. 

Q4: What if some of the assessment questions (in the Week 3 Assignment) are not applicable to my chosen patient/participant? For example, what if my participant does not have tubes or drains? 

Response 4: Not every item in the assessment forms will necessarily apply to your selected patient/participant. If the item does not apply, please add "N/A" (for "not applicable") next to the item. If any assessment is possible, please complete that item based on your assessment findings. 

Q5: For my assignment, I am choosing to use a PDF version of the document. How do I type in/add text to a PDF document? 

Response 5: First, download the PDF to your computer. Do not open the PDF document in a web browser and add information to it; if you do this, the content you enter will not be saved. Instead, download the PDF to your device and open it. Next, in the top navigation section, select "Sign." Finally, select "Fill and Sign." You can now type directly into the PDF document.
