Clinical Case Study Assignment

Objectives of this assignment are to: 1. Apply the theoretical knowledge about medical surgical disorders and the drug treatment to actual clinical practice. 2. Compare and contrast expected presentations of the disorder and use of pharmacotherapeutics with the disease and the drug treatment used in an actual client case. 3. Critically analyze the pathophysiologic and pharmacotherapeutic components of an actual clinical case presentation. 4. Synthesize knowledge gained about disease and the drug treatment by creating an appropriate case study of a selected disease process and drug treatment. 5. Improve critical thinking and communication skills through writing and developing a case study. Guidelines for writing a case study: This must be done individually. 1. Choose (1) disease condition studied in this course (NR325) from weeks 1-3 and write a case study based on an actual client you cared for during the NR325 Adult Health clinical rotation, or base it on a disease topic discussed in class.
