Weekly Case Study Assignment Guidelines

For your weekly case studies, you will be choosing from a list of possible cases from the Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing text.   Complete the case study as presented in the text, answering all of the questions included with the case study.

After completing that portion of the case study, you will re-evaluate the case using the health assessment information learned in this week’s lessons and answer the following questions:

1. As the BSN nurse caring for this patient, what would I include in my initial focused assessment for this patient & why?
2. What findings would I expect to be abnormal & why?
3. What would I include in my follow-up assessments & why?

Please use the information from your Jarvis e-book and your assigned lessons to justify your answers.
