CASE STUDY:

Smith is a 25 years old male who works full time as sales assistant in the CommBank, he lives with his family. Smith has been diagnosed with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 3 years ago by his family doctor, he has also been diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)10 years ago. He has no family history of COPD or ADHD. Smith also smokes nicotine 10 times a day to help him with his work-related stress, smith take salbutamol for his COPD to ease his symptoms of shortness of breath.

Based on the information obtained during the interview and in collaboration with the interviewee, identify two (2) relevant care priorities.

For each identified care priority, outline and discuss one (1) SMART goal and one (1) health education topic relevant for the person to meet the SMART goal.

For each health education topic relevant for the person, identify, link and rationalise where the person sits on the Roper-Logan-Tierney (RLT) model of nursing independence to dependence continuum. This may be different from where they sit with their understanding or managing of their chronic condition and/or disability.

For each health education topic provide a clear plan of the education you will need to provide in order to meet the SMART goal developed in collaboration with the person.

It is expected that appropriate nursing focused evidence-based literature will be used to support your assignment.

Confidentiality must be maintained. You must de-identify your interviewee in your paper, by use of a pseudonym, and clearly state this in your paper. Any identifiable location, organisation, or workplace must be deidentified.

The written assignment should follow the below paragraph structure.

Introduction: Introduce the interviewee with a pseudonym (and clearly state it is a pseudonym),and identify their health status and condition(s). Introduce the two (2) relevant care priorities you have identified, and the education area relevant to each care priority. (max 10% of word count).

Para 1: Provide an overview of the person youhave interviewed and their chronic health condition and/or disability including relevant biographical data obtained.

Para 2: Provide a brief synopsis/summary of the pathophysiology of the chronic condition and/or disability.

Para 2: What is your first priority of care? What information have you used to arrive at and to support the priority area you have identified? Why is this issue it a priority? Be specific and explain the priority in depth here. Use relevant nursing related literature to support your discussion.

Para 3: What is your first SMART goal? Why was this chosen? In order for the person to achieve their SMART goal, realistic goals and health education must be provided. For example, having a goal to run a marathon, when the person is dependent on a walking frame for mobility, is not realistic. Thinking about your interviewee, where on the RLT dependence/independence continuum does the person sit with regards to achieving their SMART goal through the education you will provide?

Para 4: As the nurse what is the relevant health education you will provide in relation to the first identified care priority in order to meet the SMART goal identified? You will need to provide specific information about what exact education you will provide. The content of the education plan will need to be specific, detailed and relevant to the person you are interviewing. It will need to contain more than generalised statements such as provide brochures or how to access information on the internet or provide education about their medications.

Para 5: What is your second priority of care? What information have you used to arrive and support the priority area you have identified? Why is this issue a priority? Be specific and explain the priority in depth here. Use relevant nursing related literature to support your discussion.

Para 6: What is your second SMART goal? Why was this chosen? In order for the person to achieve their SMART goal, realistic goals and health education must be provided. For example, having a goal to run a marathon, when the person is dependent on a walking frame for mobility, is not realistic. Thinking about your interviewee, where on the RLT dependence/independence continuum does the person sit in regards to achieving their SMART goal through the education you will provide?

Para 7: As the nurse what is the relevant health education you will provide in relation to the second identified care priority in order to meet the SMART goal identified? You will need to provide specific information about what exact education you will provide. The content of the education needs to be specific, detailed and relevant to the person you are interviewing. It will need to contain more than generalised statements such as provide brochures or how to access information on the internet or provide education about their medications.

Conclusion: Have you included a summary of what you have discussed in your assessment. What are the key or important take home points? What are the next steps? Evaluation of the education provided will demonstrate what? (max 10% of word count).
