Topic



Case studies allow clinical episodes and practice to be articulated and explored. Your case study should be about a patient you have cared for or know, relating actual events in which you were involved.



The proposed case should relate to one of the conditions covered in this course.

Once you have identified the episode of patient care to be written up for the case study:



• Introduce the case and provide a brief paragraph which situates the case, and identify the significance of the paper. You should also identify any limits or boundaries to your work and define key terms.

• Outline the key points to be discussed using the dot points below and the issues to be critiqued.

• Ensure that the focus is on the nursing needs and care of the subject and not just the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and medical management of the patient.

• Provide a reference list containing 5 preliminary references on the topic which complies with the School Academic Manual.
