PART 1: Assessment Task - Group 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. Please refer the case scenario at the bottom of the page.

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

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

2. Demonstrate knowledge of the link between the patient's clinical deterioration and pathophysiology by analyzing 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.

CASE SCENARIO

• Mr. Xu is a 43-year-old male presenting to ED at 1600hrs. Referred by GP for likely meningitis with 3-day history of fevers and 2-day history of headaches and neck stiffness and vomiting. Following onset of vomiting, also reporting onset of abdominal pain in epigastric region and dysuria.
• Brought in from waiting room after 6 hours of presentation due to busy workload
• Appears unwell

• Poor historian due to headache and language barrier- NESB, wife translating
• Past Medical History: Nil significant

Assignment: 500 word case scenario Reflection

Details
You are expected to complete this reflection after you have completed your Assessment Task 3 MET call case scenario Group Presentation. This is an INDIVIDUAL task and must be completed on your own. The reflection should answer ALL the questions below. Based on a critical reflection framework (e.g., Rolfe's reflective framework, Gibb's reflection framework), critically reflect and respond to the questions below.

There is a word limit of 500 words. Use your computer to total the number of words used in your assignment. However, do not include the reference list at the end of your assignment in the word count. In-text citations will be

included in the additional 10%-word count. If you exceed the word limit by more than 10% (550 words) the marker will stop marking.

Question:

Question 1) What was your experience with recognizing the signs of deterioration in the patient in the case study scenario? State areas of strength you have achieved and improvements you may require.

Question 2) What was your experience with understanding the underlying pathophysiological changes and its link to the patient's clinical manifestations? State areas of strength you have achieved and improvements you may require.

Question 3) What was your experience with working as part of a team in understanding the patient's MET call and presentation? State areas of strength you have achieved and improvements you may require.
