Principles Of Nursing

Task:

Based on the information provided in this case study, you are required to discuss your initial assessment of Ms Abimbola using Steps 1 and 2 the Levett-Jones’ (2018) Clinical Reasoning Cycle (CRC) before interpreting the information (Step 3 CRC) you have been given to identify 3 nursing care priorities (Step 4 CRC) for Ms Abimbola.

The key components of Assessment 1 are to:

• Discuss the key elements of Step 1 of the CRC and why it is important by:

1. developing and presenting a concept map of Ms Abimbola and her situation

Including evidence to support the content of your concept map

2. Discuss the key elements of Step 2 of the CRC and why it is important.

3. Discuss the pathophysiology of COPD and how Ms Abimbola’s S&S reflect the underlying pathophysiology of the condition.

4. Interpret the information you have been given about her condition (Step 3 of the CRC) and identify three priority nursing issues you must address for Ms Abimbola (Step 4 of the CRC).

Justify why they are priorities and support your discussion with evidence.

5. Discuss the potential impact of COPD on Ms Abimbola’s three most important activities of daily living. Link your discussion to the Roper-Logan & Tierney model.
