Health Assessment - Clinical Reasoning Report

This assessment task requires you to submit a written report (1000 words) that demonstrates your ability to apply the first three phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to the Patient scenario - Roseanne Chivers (attached).

Preparing your clinical reasoning report -

1. Provide a concise summary of Roseanne's situation as an introduction to your report (approximately 50 -100 words).

2. List the objective and subjective data (cues) that you have gathered from reviewing the information provided above (approx. 50 words).

3. Analyse and interpret the identified cues and explain the assessment findings in relation to Roseanne's context (approx. 400 words).

To do this successfully, you should:

a. categorise the cues and identify what elements are normal or abnormal, and

b. compare the current situation and vital signs with previous health information known about Roseanne, and

c. recall and apply knowledge of anatomy and principles of physiology (including concepts of homeostasis and the body's responses to activity) to explain her vital signs and other cues.

4. Then propose what further cues you want to collect and explain why these are relevant and important to the situation (approx. 400-450 words).

To do this successfully, you will need to form a logical opinion about what the further cues should be, when you would undertake the assessments to collect these cues (e.g. after some immediate actions for Roseanne) and why these cues should be assessed. Relate your justification to Roseanne's situation AND to the principles of anatomy and normal physiology (focusing on homeostasis).

NOTE: For items 2 & 3a, you can use a table to present the information.
