NSB336 Integrated Nursing Practice Capstone Case Study

The assessment task requires you to write a case study response in a formal academic essay that addresses the following tasks:
1. Analyse the Coroner’s case to identify the issues (what happened and why it happened) in care delivery that contributed to a failure to recognise and respond to clinical deterioration. Discuss how the issues identified, in conjunction with the patient presentation, medical history, and underlying pathophysiological processes led to the clinical deterioration.

2. Based on contemporary evidence analyse the clinical actions that the registered nurse(s) implemented, how this contributed to the patient’s clinical deterioration,and discuss what action should have been undertaken to potentially prevent the clinical deterioration.
3. Based on issues identified in the Coroner’s reportapply contemporary research to discuss the communication barriers in the escalation of care and how these may be addressed to improve future care.
4. References: You must use current and relevant peer-reviewed literature to support your arguments in addressing these tasks.

• Integrate contemporary literature in the form of published articles within journals, no older than 7 years.
• Your textbooks may be used as references however, textbooks should not comprise more than 25% of your overall sources.
• If using web pages, they must be evidence-based. Sponsored sites and review sites such as StatPearls are NOT to be used.

Note - There is no minimum number of references to be used, a guide would be 1 reference per 100-150 words (e.g 10 -15 references for the assessment). You will be graded on the quality and application of the sources, not the number.
