Assessed Course Learning Outcomes
CLO1. Apply and integrate knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology, pharmacology, and diagnostics to case
studies of individuals with emergent and complex health conditions in high acuity health care settings.
CLO 2. Apply and integrate previous learnings of health assessment and nursing management to individuals with
complex health conditions in high acuity health care settings.
CLO 3. Apply critical thinking, clinical reasoning and reflective practice skills to a range of complex acute conditions
across the lifespan to demonstrate appropriate person centred, evidence-based nursing care.
CLO 4. Evaluate the nurse’s role within the inter-professional and intra-professional team in regard to effective
communication and teamwork in decision making practices within high acuity clinical case studies.
CLO 5. Apply ethical and legal practice frameworks, standards and decision making required of a beginning
Registered Nurse to acute high acuity case studies for safe person-centred care.
Rationale
This assessment challenges you to think like a Registered Nurse who is presenting a case study to other GRNs as
part of the GRN program. It provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate RN standards for practice 2.8 nurses
participate in and/or lead collaborative practice, 4.2 collects relevant and accurate information and data to inform
practice, and 4.4 assesses the resources available to inform planning. (NMBA, 2016).
Task Instructions
Assignment Task
This assessment requires you to prepare and present a 12-15 minute case study on one (1) complex care
patient from the list below:
15 year old Abby has been admitted to ICU with meningococcal meningitis.
OR
53 year old Lorenzo has been admitted to ICU with head trauma following a fall while hiking where he hit his
head on a rock, his GCS is 11/15.

Your presentation will be in first person and must include:
Introduction: Introduce yourself and your patient, their case, and the main points of the case that will be
discussed. (approx. 1 ½ minutes)
Body:

NUR3397 – Complex Care Case Study Presentation

1. Use your acquired knowledge of anatomy and physiology to discuss how they apply to the pathophysiology of
   your chosen patient’s condition (approx. 2 minutes)
2. Discuss the signs and symptoms of your chosen patient’s condition and how they are linked to the
   pathophysiology of that condition (approx. 2 minutes)
3. Discuss the nursing health assessments and other health diagnostics and/or procedures that apply to your
