Critically understand developmental and disease processes and the ways in which these manifests in children and young people. (approx. 1000 – 1200 words)
Introduce and define the disease identified in your case study
Consider:
What is the pathophysiology of the child’s condition?
What are the pathogens involved?
How do they affect the body (e.g inflammation, fluid loss/maldistribution, fever, bronchospasm)?
how is the disease process altered by the child’s age/development?
How does this present in the patient? For example, wheeze, cough, recessions, mottling of the skin, vomiting, pain, fever.
Critically review the safety and effectiveness of care when planning and implementing care for individuals and groups of children in child nursing (approx. 1200 – 1300 words)
Choose 3-4 elements of care, which are relevant to your case study, to critically appraise the safety and effectiveness of the care. ie fluids (enteral or IV), medications, suction, family centered care, oxygen therapy, fever management
Within each element Consider:
Was care provided consistent with the clinical guidelines (BSPED, BTS, NICE etc)
What is the evidence underpinning these guidelines?
Was the care provided safe?
What does the literature say about the safety of the care provided?
What is the evidence around the effectiveness
