Assignment Task
Assessment
This assessment is designed to test your knowledge on analysing existing data to identify current issues and then formulating further assessments to complete a holistic assessment.
To complete this you will answer three (3) questions regarding the case study.
Please read assessment Instructions carefully to ensure you complete the assessment correctly.
Context
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate the theoretical knowledge you have acquired so far in HAS108, focusing on comprehensive history taking and questioning techniques.
This assessment presents a timely opportunity for you to think about how to integrate frameworks of person-centred care and partnering with consumers into your nursing practice.
It is important to consider how you could establish a person-centred approach to the patient in the scenario you select and articulate any features about this patient that navigate the direction of questioning or techniques you would utilise in assessment and care planning.
Instructions
View the two (2) case scenario videos provided in the Assessment 2 area and address a series of short answer questions tailored for the character in the scenario.
Short Answer Questions
1) Using resources provided in this subject, identify and explain what information is needed to gain a more comprehensive past history for the video character. Consider the patients’ level of health literacy and cultural safety issues in your answer.
2) Based on the information given for the character, identify and explain what abnormalities/concerns you can identify in the physical observations and patient history.
3) Identify and explain what additional physical assessments are needed in order to facilitate a diagnosis for the character, and identify and describe what body systems need to be explored further.
