NRSG 259: Levett-Jones’ Clinical Reasoning Cycle – Promoting Health in Extended Care – Nursing Care Assessment AnswersMarketing Research and Data Analysis

Assessment Task 1 – Written Assignment – Care Planning: Individual Discussion

This assessment is designed to measure your ability to identify and prioritise the most important nursing care issues for a client.

Two theoretical frameworks underpin your assignment: Miller’s Functional Consequences Theory to identify the influences impacting on the older person and their level of function and Levett-Jones’ Clinical Reasoning Cycle as the tool to drive the process of identifying and assessing, implementing and evaluating care. Students need to demonstrate how the dignity of the older person is maintained and how the cultural background of the older person is considered, throughout the process of assessment and care provision.

Students are required to review a provided scenario. From this scenario, use the first four steps of the Levett-Jones Clinical Reasoning Cycle (i.e., considering the patient; collecting cues and information, processing information and identifying problems/issues) to identify three nursing care priorities. A rationale needs to be provided for each nursing care priority identified.

From these three priorities, and using the Miller’s Functional Consequences Theory, identify the most important care priority to discuss. The discussion needs to focus on the steps of establishing nursing care goals, taking action, evaluating outcomes and reflecting on the care process identified.
