Assessment Task - Presentation

This assessment task will be a group presentation presented in class by a group of 5-6 students. Your tutor will allocate one of the MET call patient scenario case studies available in the vUWS site (under the Assessment 3 Zone).

Duration:

15 minutes in-class presentation. There is no word limit for this presentation. If you exceed the time by 10%, the marker will stop marking (at 16.5 minutes). Each member of the group needs to deliver the presentation. All group members are to contribute and present as equally as possible to this presentation.

Aim of the Assessment task:
The purpose of this assessment task is to enable students to:

1. Demonstrate the ability to recognise a deteriorating patient and escalate care, prioritise in the context of the underlying pathophysiology

2. Demonstrate knowledge of the link between the patient's clinical deterioration and pathophysiology by analysing the information provided in the case study

3. Demonstrate an understanding of the clinical manifestations and recognition of deteriorating patient within the pathophysiological framework using a holistic patient-focused approach

4. Apply the clinical information provided in the case study and describe the appropriate high priority management strategies in the MET call scenario

Questions:

The presentation should answer all the questions below.

Q1. Explain in an oral presentation the high priority clinical manifestations that have resulted in the escalation to MET call using a primary survey format (A-G).

Q2. Describe the pathophysiological link to the identified high priority clinical manifestations and the disease conditions that the patient has.

Q3. Discuss the pathophysiological link between the multiple disease conditions that the deteriorating patient has and the clinical presentation.

Q4. Discuss TWO diagnostic results and relate it to the underlying pathophysiology.

Q5. Explain THREE high priority interventions you will do to improve the patient's clinical condition.

Q6. Discuss the pharmacological actions of TWO drugs that could be used in the management of this patient's acute deterioration.

Additional Information:

• You are to deliver the presentation in-class as a group.
• The case study and the group you will be working with needs to be agreed upon and scheduled upon with your class tutor during your face-to-face tutorial in WEEK 1 of the semester.
• Your presentation should address all the questions above in relation to the case study.
• Accompanying your oral presentation should be the completed group Contribution Log (available under Assessment 3 Zone in vUWS). This should be submitted to your class tutor before the due date for the presentation.
