GUIDELINES TO ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT

There is a noted absence of nursing staff in the Coroner's Report. There are a number of areas where the role of the registered nurse would have offered support, guidance and help in caring for an individual in the community setting. This assignment requires students to think about the role of the RN in the situation that is presented.

In the report of the Inquest into the death of Marcia Clark the Coroner identified the obvious neglect in basic cares that occurred. The cause of death was noted by the Coroner as the combined effects of severe malnutrition and infection. There were many questions and circumstances surrounding the death of Marcia Clark with the Coroner outlining the manner of death being natural causes after a period of being neglected by her carer. It is both the areas of neglect and abuse that have been raised throughout the Coroners Case presented.
