Presentation: Realistic Clinical Case Study

 

For this assignment, you will develop a presentation on a realistic clinical case on a topic that is of interest to you. Develop your presentation based on a clinical case that was seen during your experience or a topic that is of interest to you.

Content Requirements You will create a PowerPoint presentation with a realistic case study and include appropriate and pertinent clinical information that will be covering the following:

1. Subjective data: Demographics; Chief Complaint; History of the Present Illness (HPI) that includes the presenting problem and the 8 dimensions of the problem; Medications; Allergies; Past medical history; Family history; Past surgical history; Social history;  Review of Systems (ROS)

2. Objective data: Vital signs; Physical exam, Labs (reviewed from the patient’s medical records, if no lab/diagnostic tests were done recently to review, you must indicate that to receive credit).

3. Assessment: Differential diagnosis; Primary Diagnosis

4. Plan: Laboratory and diagnostic tests; Pharmacologic treatment plan; Non-pharmacologic treatment plan; Anticipatory guidance (primary prevention strategies); Follow up plan.

5. Other: Incorporation of current clinical guidelines; Integration of research articles; Role of the Nurse practitioner

 

Submission Instructions:

· The presentation is original work and logically organized, formatted, and cited in the current APA style, including citation of references.

· Must have speaker notes

· The presentation should consist of 10-15 slides and less than 5 minutes in length.

· Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Journal articles and books should be referenced according to APA style (the library has a copy of the APA Manual).

· Your assignment will be assessed through Turnitin.

Step 1: Select Your Case Topic

• Choose a clinical case from your own experience or a topic of strong interest to you.

• Ensure the case allows you to include both subjective and objective data.

• Examples: pediatric asthma exacerbation, type 2 diabetes management, acute urinary tract infection, or hypertension in adults.

Step 2: Gather Subjective Data

Include the following elements in your slides and speaker notes:

1. Demographics: Age, gender, race/ethnicity, occupation

2. Chief Complaint (CC): Patient’s primary concern

3. History of Present Illness (HPI): Include the 8 dimensions: location, quality, severity, timing, context, modifying factors, associated signs/symptoms, and patient’s perspective

4. Medications and Allergies

5. Past Medical History

6. Family History

7. Past Surgical History

8. Social History: Lifestyle, habits, tobacco/alcohol use, occupation, living situation

9. Review of Systems (ROS): Relevant positives and negatives

---

Step 3: Collect Objective Data

1. Vital Signs: BP, HR, RR, temperature, oxygen saturation

2. Physical Exam Findings: Include relevant systems exam results

3. Labs/Diagnostics: Include recent lab results; if unavailable, note this explicitly

---

Step 4: Develop Assessment

1. Differential Diagnosis: List 3–5 possible diagnoses with rationales

2. Primary Diagnosis: Provide evidence-based reasoning

---

Step 5: Create the Plan

1. Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests: Identify additional tests needed to confirm diagnosis or monitor patient

2. Pharmacologic Treatment Plan: Include drug name, dose, route, frequency, duration, and rationale

3. Non-Pharmacologic Plan: Lifestyle interventions, physical therapy, patient education

4. Anticipatory Guidance/Primary Prevention: Strategies to prevent complications or disease recurrence

5. Follow-Up Plan: Timing, what to monitor, and next steps

---

Step 6: Integrate Evidence and Guidelines

• Incorporate current clinical guidelines relevant to your case (e.g., ADA for diabetes, CDC for infectious diseases)

• Include at least 4 scholarly journal articles published within the last 5 years

• Reference all sources in APA style

---

Step 7: Organize Your PowerPoint

Slide suggestions:

1. Title Slide: Case title, your name, course, date

2. Introduction/Objective Slide: Overview of the case purpose

3. Subjective Data: Demographics, HPI, medications, allergies, past history, ROS

4. Objective Data: Vital signs, exam, labs/diagnostics

5. Assessment: Differential and primary diagnosis

6. Plan – Labs & Diagnostics

7. Plan – Pharmacologic Interventions

8. Plan – Non-Pharmacologic Interventions & Prevention

9. Follow-Up Plan & Patient Education

10. Integration of Guidelines & Evidence

11. Role of the Nurse Practitioner

12. References

Use speaker notes to elaborate on each slide; keep slides clear and concise.

Step 8: Presentation Tips

• Limit your presentation to 10–15 slides and under 5 minutes

• Maintain a logical flow between subjective → objective → assessment → plan

• Use visual aids such as tables for lab results or flowcharts for treatment plans

• Ensure APA-style citations both on slides and reference list

---

Step 9: Review and Submit

• Check that all clinical data is accurate and evidence-based

• Ensure logical organization and clear speaker notes

• Run Turnitin for originality before submission

• Submit PPT/PPTX file according to instructions
