NUR241 - Context of Practice Health Alteration Assignment

Assignment Task

A. Provide information to the caregivers of Jeremiah about:

(i) The pathophysiology and risk factors and or triggers of asthma.

Please only write about the risk factors or triggers the case study patient actually has. You are to briefly explain how the pathophysiology processes of asthma result in the case study patients' subjective and objective signs and symptoms.

Consider: What are the links or connections between the ‘patho’ and the signs and symptoms.

(ii) Explain the information this case study patient’s mother needs to self-manage (or family-manage) his condition.

What does this parent need to know to prevent deterioration and minimise his symptoms. What does she need to understand to prevent hospitalisation or an acute/severe asthma attack? How can he manage his current symptoms effectively? Why or how do these strategies have an effect on the pathophysiology of asthma?

Please note that: a general discussion is not appropriate here. Carefully tailor your response to this patient’s data. A strong response will consider all relevant factors identified from the case study but leave out those not mentioned. A strong response will also remember to briefly explain WHY a certain self-management strategy should be used. How will it help? Why does it work?

B. Demonstrate your ability to explain potentially complex clinical information in a way that a particular patient/caregiver can understand and apply the information in order to participate in their own health management or that of their child.

Case Study

Context:

You are a Student RN on placement at a large regional GP surgery. You are working today with the Chronic Diseases RN.

Task 2b Instructions

Your Clinical Facilitator has reviewed your Patient Education Leaflet. They understand that it is not referenced since it is entirely aimed at the patient. However, they want to be sure you are meeting the required Professional and academic standards. Therefore:

You are required to provide a report based on the Patient Education Leaflet you have developed for Task 2A. The target audience is your Clinical Facilitator, an experienced RN.

1. Pathophysiology explanation.

You need to explain the pathophysiology of asthma in CLINICAL terms and explanations using appropriate evidence-based literature in support. This explanation should include the effects of the relevant triggers. It should also explain this patient's signs and symptoms.

2. Justification of health promotion education provided for this case study patient and his family.

You will use the appropriate evidence-based literature to provide support for the health promotional education you have provided in 2A. You are required to cover the same health promotion/health management information and rationales given in the Patient Education Leaflet but again using full academic sentences and appropriate clinical terms and explanations.

Consider

Why are we giving this information to this patient (rationale/justification)? And: who supports the validity of this information

3. Integration and Application of social justice principles and professional standards: The discussion must integrate key professional standards (NSQHS and NMBA) relevant to patient participation in health care, patient education and/or health literacy. Include analysis on how the patient education provided supports or influences patient participation in health care.
