Assessment description



















The purpose of this assessment is to develop health assessment and clinical reasoning skills, and to identify health deterioration.



















Assessment instructions




























Step 1. Consider the case of Aurora Russo.

















Aurora





is 1


3





years old and attends her local Canberra (ACT) public





secondary





school.






It is a





cool





spring day and





Aurora


had been enjoying a skipping rope game with her friends.

Links to an external site.






























Aurora





had started to develop a cough





while





skipping,





the more she skipped the worse the cough became


.





After 5 minutes of rest, the cough did not ease, so





Aurora





went to the





School





office.






The school





receptionist greets Aurora (listen to recording below):





























The S


chool Nurse





is attending





to another student, so



the receptionist





ask


s





you






(the student nurse)






to undertake





an





initial





assessment of Aurora.





















Step 2: Analyse the case data using the Clinical Reasoning Cycle








Apply the Clinical Reasoning Cycle to your analysis of this case of Aurora. To analyse the case and demonstrate your critical thinking, review the existing data:







  • Audio of Aurora explaining her history of presenting complaint (HOPC) to the Receptionist (above)
















  • Aurora’s medical/surgical history and family history




    Aurora is/has:







    • fully immunised including annual flu vaccination, has had 2 x COVID vaccines and HPV vaccine



    • not allergic to any food or medicines



    • seasonal allergic rhinitis (since 2021)



    • had a Right radius/ulnar fracture at age 11 from skateboarding injury



    • had two (2) previous episodes of exercise induced wheeze in 2022 which resolved with rest



    • Nil regular medications



    • reached developmental milestones as expected and commenced menses at age 12



    • born on 3rd January 2010, Aurora the first of 4 children and lives with both of her parents and one grandparent who also resides with the family



    • an Australian citizen; her mother is Nigerian-Australian













  • Objective data including





    vital observations measured











    Download vital observations measured





    during the visit to the school nurse. This health data has been recorded on a ACT PEWS chart for ease of viewing.













  • After introducing yourself, seeking consent and undertaking your initial health interview, you perform a health assessment, listen here to Aurora's breath sounds
















Step 3 - Develop your report





Your report will include the following elements







  • Title page






  • Table of contents








  • Introduction (100words)








  • Body (1300 words)








  • Conclusions/Recommendations (100 words)








  • Reference List - in APA 7th Edition formatting style








The body of your report will address the following elements to achieve marks against the marking rubric,


a word count for each section is included as a guide only:








  • Use


    health assessment techniques


    (‘looking’, ‘listening’ and ‘feeling’) and accurately identify and describe the holistic health cues specific to Aurora’s case using evidence to support your discussion.








    (400 words)





  • Formulate a series of


    five (5) questions



    to ask Aurora which further investigates the cues that you have identified. These questions should be sensitive to the individuality of the person, their stage of life and health literacy.











    (100 words)








  • Consider the cues gathered and apply critical thinking and reasoning to describe


    one (1) actual health issue/nursing diagnosis


    that indicates deterioration in Aurora’s case, use evidence from literature to support your analysis.











    (400 words)








  • For the actual health issue identified, develop


    one goal and foundational therapeutic actions


    which work to achieve this goal, use evidence from literature to support your recommendations. Ensure that the nursing actions are consistent with the scope of practice of a first year UC nursing student (INC1 or INC2)





    (400 words)

2.5


Pts



Satisfactory



Satisfactory achievement against this criteria.

Use literature to support your discussion/analysis of your findings and approach to health assessment techniques.

























































7.5


Pts



Exceeds Expectations



Outstanding - superior achievement against this criteria. Holistic health assessment techniques are articulately described and linked to the cues of concern identified from the case. The cues identified are accurate, clearly articulated and demonstrate a comprehensive consideration of the wellbeing of the person.
























5.5

The cues identified are accurate and demonstrate sound consideration of the wellbeing of the person.
























3.75


Pts



Satisfactory



Satisfactory achievement against this criteria. Health assessment techniques are described and linked to cues of concern identified from the case, however may lack holistic considerations. The cues identified are for the most part accurate and demonstrate satisfactory foundational understanding of the wellbeing of the person; there may be some repetition/lack of specificity in the cues identified
























3


Pts



Below Expectations



Approach to health assessment techniques is insufficiently described and/or does not link to relevant cues; cues identified are general rather than specific cues of concern related to the case provided/and or include significant repetition; cues identified are not related to the wellbeing of the person.
