attending a Healthy Heart Workshop at her local
Community Health Centre. Beryl’s blood pressure is
160/95, she is 150cms in height and her weight is 105kg.
Beryl reports that she drinks two to three glasses of wine
per night, eats a lot of take away foods as she’s too busy
with her executive management job to think about cooking.
She is a single mother caring for three school aged children
to always cook. She states that she rarely exercises due to
lack of time. Beryl visited her GP last week after feeling
unwell. Pathology was taken and Beryl’s GP report shows
that her total cholesterol is 6 mmol/L, Low Density
Lipoprotein 3.1 mmol/L and High Density Lipoprotein
0.8mmol/L. The GP commenced Beryl on medications but
she states “I keep forgetting to take them, my life is just so
stressful at the moment. I really don’t have time to be here,
I need to be at work”.I have provided this template to assist you with answering assessment 2 case study. Remember monitoring is not an intervention, this is part of your assessment process. You also need to have at least one independent intervention and only 2 of your interventions can be medication for your essay.
You have to identify two (2) priority problems linking to the case study assessment data and underlying pathophysiology. Use the template below to assist you here.

Your essay states you can choose two interventions to discuss in detail for your priority problems. These can be independent or collaborative, but you must have at least one independent intervention. For the collaborative interventions identify the other members of the healthcare team.

Assessment Task 2
Assessment name: NSB231 Integrated Nursing Practice 2 (On Campus) Case Study
Task description: For this essay, select either Essay Case Option 1 (the paediatric case) or Essay Case Option 2 (the adult case). Review your chosen case and the clinical documents. Using the clinical reasoning cycle you are required to assess, plan, implement and evaluate your care for the patient. After identifying the relevant assessment data you must identify two (2) priority problems for your patient. For each priority problem identified, list two (2) nursing interventions (collaborative/independent) linking to your research of the literature. Include a one to two line rationale for each intervention. Evaluation of your care is essential.
Learning outcomes assessed:

Apply and integrate knowledge of the key NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Nursing Practice, National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, and National Health Priorities to enable effective clinical decision making, planning and action in a range of situations that reflect the diversity of contemporary health care settings and challenge.
2. Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to support evidence-based decisions for planning and action in a range of clinical situations.
3. Demonstrate clinical reasoning and clinical decision making in line with safe and quality person-centred care across the lifespan.
4. Apply knowledge and skills to communicate and collaborate effectively with consumers and families.
5. Reflect on the clinical placement experience and care provision,
using feedback from a range of sources, to identify opportunities to enhance individual practice.
What you need to do: The 2200 word essay should cover the points below: • Introduction (150 words approx): State an overview of the
patient’s condition and identify the TWO priority nursing problems. Give a brief plan for the essay topics.
• For each of your identified priority problems (950 words approx):
Briefly explain how it relates to the patient’s assessment data. You will need to draw on your understanding of pathophysiology to explain the link between the problem and the patient’s signs and symptoms. Identify TWO priority nursing interventions to address the problem. Justify the nursing interventions you will implement (explain what is involved in implementing the intervention, why it is suitable, any relevant positive or negative aspects/considerations) and support/justify the use of these interventions with reference to current evidence-based literature. Outline the evaluation criteria/data that would indicate that each intervention is improving or resolving the identified problem.
