ASSIGNMENT 2
Written Critique - Review and critique of a case study that depicts the care provided to a patient and their family in a palliative setting. Critical analysis will be based upon a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) to improve patient care
Length and/or format: 1800 word +/- 10%
Purpose: Each student will review and critique the care given in a Case Study to be provided. It is essential for students to demonstrate an understanding of how theory translates into practical nursing care. The critique will utilise contemporary evidence-based literature and standards to support the selection of ONLY ONE suitable Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) relating to the care needs of the patient and family presented.
Assessment Task Details
Students are to provide an 1800 word critique of the provided case study using only ONE CPG.
To complete this task you will need to discuss and critique relevant elements of the CPG and case study whilst upholding the National Palliative Care Standards at least one of:
- NSQHS
- NMBA standards and/or
Do we need to use all of these standards to do well?
• As the rubric states if you provide "Outstanding knowledge of themes and principles associated with palliative care" this will demonstrate an outstanding application of your knowledge to practice therefore using standards from more than one of the above and relating them together to uphold your critique of the patient care and support the clinical practice guideline selected will demonstrate excellent knowledge and understanding. Using one standard from one of the above will not provide strong application of knowledge. However, a comparison of multiple standards that as registered nurses we are required to uphold will absolutely demonstrate very strong knowledge and understanding, if you link them together well with evidence based practice (EBP)
Where do I find all of these standards?
You should be aware of all of the standards above as they have been discussed in many units throughout your degree, so now it is time to demonstrate your knowledge and bring them together. to assist you We have provided links below to each of the standards we would like you to utilise in your critique.
Purpose
Students are required to demonstrate an understanding of how theory translates into practical nursing care and how evidence underpins best practice. Each student will review and critique the care given in the Case Study provided according to their choice of ONLY ONE of the provided Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG's) best suited to the highlighted discussion.
Where will I find the CPG's that you want me to use?
You are provided with CPG's for this task, in this booklet .
You need to choose one of these only to demonstrate the area of care that you are providing a critique of. You are not expected to look for other CPG's to support your work, however evidence based practice of peer reviewed journal publications are expected to further reinforce the critique.
Assessment Task Two
Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG's) for Task 2

o Read the Unit Outline and Rubric carefully
o All Criterion in the rubric provide clear guidelines on how to proceed
o Review and critique the care provided to Tyler according to the CPG selected. Could his experiences through palliative care specifically at the end of his life been different if one of these guidelines was followed more closely? Provide additional peer reviewed evidence to support why or why not?
