Content required (screen shot of slides from summative Power Point. Audible versions are available on Canvas.) |
Checklist | Tick |
Introduction | I have included a 150-word introduction that outlines the five required points indicated. |
||
The statistics are supported with in-date UK academic citations. |
|||
I have outlined the essay themes. |
|||
I have indicated that the discussions will be evidence based. |
|||
I have emphasised that this is a fictional case study |
|||
ALL DEFINITIONS & STATEMENTS have a citation from an academic resource. |
|||
Notes | |||
NB: The word ‘condition’ used on the next sections is interchangeable with an acute or long-term focus. |
|||
Pathophysiology | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power point and have written a 500-word explanation of the pathophysiology and related physical symptom(s). |
||
I have applied literature to demonstrate an evidence based knowledge of the physiological changes that occur due to the condition. |
I have broadly drawn the pathophysiology from the case study I have chosen to explore. |
Using literature, I have explained how the physiological changes and symptoms occur (maximum of two) experienced by the patients with this condition. |
I have used the MEEA approach to give a clear structure to each paragraph. M – Make an opening statement that signposts what this paragraph will be discussing. E – Explain &/or define and key words or phrases that you have used in the opening sentence. E – Explore/describe the changes using a wealth of literature. (Avoid overusing the same citations). I have shown synthesis by pulling articles/eBooks that have commonalities together. I have shown criticality by offering different viewpoints supported with literature: For example, criticality linked to the causes of changes in condition: genetic, environmental, obesity/lifestyle factors. A – I have shown Analysis by pulling the main learning on the pathophysiology/symptoms into my own voice at the end of each paragraph. |
Notes |
Acute Deterioration | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power point and have written a 450-word explanation on how and why the patient might deteriorate in mental AND/OR physical health. |
I have used the MEEA approach to give a clear structure to each paragraph. M – Make an opening statement that signposts what this paragraph will be discussing. E – Explain &/or define and key words or phrases that you have used in the opening sentence. E – Explore/describe how and why this patient’s condition may deteriorate physically or mentally. (Avoid overusing the same citations). I have shown synthesis by pulling articles/eBooks that have commonalities together. I have shown criticality by offering different viewpoints supported with literature: For example, criticality linked to differing factors that may contribute to deterioration. A – I have shown Analysis by pulling the main learning on the acute deterioration into my own voice at the end of each paragraph. |

Notes |
Assessment | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power point and have written a 450-word discussion on assessment of the condition. |
I have supported every statement with a citation. |
|
I have used the MEEA approach to give a clear structure to each paragraph. M – Make an opening statement that signposts what this paragraph will be discussing. E – Explain &/or define and key words or phrases that you have used in the opening sentence. E – Discuss a suitable assessment tool that would be used to assess the deterioration. (Avoid overusing the same citations). I have shown synthesis by pulling articles/eBooks that have commonalities together. I have shown criticality by offering different viewpoints supported with literature. For example, discussing the strengths and limitations of an assessment tool according to literature. How does it enhance/inhibit nursing? A – I have shown Analysis by pulling the main learning on the assessment tool discussion into my own voice at the end of each paragraph. |
|
Notes |
Integrated Psychosocial Care | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power points and have written a 400-word discussion on two psychosocial features from the case study. |
I have used the MEEA approach to give a clear structure to each feature/paragraph. M – Make an opening statement that signposts what this paragraph will be discussing. E – Explain &/or define and key words or phrases that you have used in the opening sentence. E – Discussing one feature in depth per paragraph and explore literature that considers why these affect the patient in the case study. (Avoid overusing the same citations). I have shown synthesis by pulling articles/eBooks that have commonalities together. In each paragraph I have shown criticality by offering different viewpoints supported with literature. A – I have shown Analysis by pulling the main learning on the psychosocial care section into my own voice at the end of each paragraph. |

Coping | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power point and have written a 400-word discussion on coping (patient or carer). |

Using literature link the case study (fears, concerns, beliefs) to the concepts of an ability to cope. I have shown synthesis by pulling articles/eBooks that have commonalities together. I have shown criticality by offering different viewpoints supported with literature. A – I have shown Analysis by pulling the main learning on coping into my own voice at the end of each paragraph. |

Notes |
Conclusion | I have followed the guidance outlined on the power points and have written a 150-word conclusion. |
I have included a conclusion that summarises why nurses need to promote health and prevent ill health. |
