| This assessment task requires you to submit a written report (1000words) that demonstrates your ability to apply selected phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to your assigned patient scenario from Assessment Task 2A:
1. Provide a brief summary of your assigned patient scenario.
This section relates to the ‘Consider the patient situation’ phase of
the clinical reasoning cycle.
2. List the objective and subjective data that you have collected from
reviewing the patient scenario information provided.
This section relates to the ‘Collect cues/information’ phase of the
clinical reasoning cycle.
3. Analyse and interpret your patient’s vital signs data and explain
the significance of the information in this patient’s context.
This section relates to the ‘Process information’ phase of the clinical
reasoning cycle.
4. Critically reflect on your clinical skills to gather vital signs data
(Assessment Task 2A).
This section relates to the ‘Reflect on process and new learning’
phase of the clinical reasoning cycle.
You should take the peer-review feedback from your partner into
account when you prepare for writing this section of the report and
upload the feedback form into the Assignments folder.
· Identify one strength (something you did well) during the skills
assessment and briefly explain why this promotes a positive
patient outcome.
· Identify one aspect of your practice for improvement
(something you did not do so well or did not do at all during the
skills assessment). Briefly explain what you should do differently
next time and why this is important for promoting a positive
patient outcome. Outline at least one course of action (what
further learning do you need to do) for improving this aspect of
your practice.
Sections 1, 2 & 3 (consider the patient situation, collect cues and
information, and process the information) should be approximately
700 words. Section 4 (critical reflection on the vital signs skills
assessment) should be approximately 300 words.
You will need to use relevant scholarly sources of information
(textbooks, journal articles, evidence-based practice guidelines or
clinical care standards) to support your analysis of your patient’s
health information and critical reflection. The Harvard referencing
style should be used for citation of information sources throughout
the text (in-text referencing) and a reference list at the end of the
report. |
