Task information

Part 1 detailsTo successfully complete this assignment, you will need to complete all the following.  
Analysis of the Case  
Students are to conduct a critical analysis of the case referencing key pieces of information/examples specifically from the case and using contemporary literature to support the analysis. This focused analysis should specifically relate to the Registered Nurse’s role in identifying risk, patient assessment, recognition and escalation of deterioration and team communication within their scope of practice whilst caring for Hunter
1. The analysis should commence with a discussion from the case to highlight patient risks and missed opportunities from the perspective of a Registered Nurse with a focus on the specific and holistic care of paediatric patients and their families, advocacy, and effective communication when escalating patient care.
2. Students should include a discussion on the types of ongoing comprehensive and holistic Nursing assessments considered important when caring for Hunter. Note that in the initial stages Hunters CEWT score was zero (vital sign changes can come later in paediatric deterioration as children have good compensatory mechanisms), so you need to consider and discuss what other clinical indicators were indicative of clinical deterioration in this case.
3. The analysis of this case should use pertinent literature regarding concepts of holistic patient assessment, advocacy, human factors, and effective team communication (both written and verbal) and the implications of these on effective decision- making and care provision in the case of Hunter.
4. Students must provide a synopsis of innovative strategies that could be implemented to risk mitigate missed opportunities found in the case. These must relate to and demonstrate knowledge of the Registered Nurse’s Accountability and Responsibilityy when caring for paediatric patients. Specifically in this discussion students should consider the National Safety and Quality in Healthcare Standard – Partnering with Consumers Standard and reflect upon ‘if the health service were to work with Hunters family what strategies (other than those recommended by the QLD Coroner) could they put in place to prevent another similar incident occurring?’

Students need to demonstrate synthesis of published material within the student’s own analysis to demonstrate appropriate understanding. The analysis must be supported by relevant and contemporary literature including journal articles and relevant legislative and health policy and guideline documents. It is expected that a minimum of 8 journal articles will be used.
Writing StyleThis assessment piece will be written in the form of an academic piece of work providing references to relevant peer reviewed articles and legislative and relevant health department policies and guidelines. Students need to demonstrate synthesis of published material with the student’s own analysis to demonstrate appropriate understanding of key safety and quality concepts within the case. Students should not to re-state the case in their work.
