Week 6 Assignment  

Develop an Evolving Case Study

PURPOSE

This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to step into the role of a nurse educator by developing a learning activity useful in either the academic or nursing professional development setting.  The evolving case study would be useful as part of a small group activity in the clinical setting for either students or registered nurses depending on the student’s future as a nurse educator.  For this assignment, the focus is on a clinical situation that progresses over three stages in a low fidelity clinical skills laboratory setting or case scenario discussion within the classroom. To facilitate synthesis of learning, the identification of critical thinking questions is included as an important element within the assignment.

•             Ends with Stage 3 that is based upon the action identified by learners

The evolving case study assignment is to include the following:

•             Overview of evolving case study

•             Description of the fictional patient

•             Develop the report that learners receive prior to the start of the evolving case study using SBAR

•             Stage 1: Initial presentation regarding health status of the patient
