Task

With the assistance of your clinical preceptor, select an appropriate patient to work with during your clinical practicum. Obtain permission from the patient, and conduct a thorough comprehensive health assessment.

Notes

Your clinical area has been notified of your requirement to conduct an in-depth case study, and you will have a patient-free day in order to collect the relevant information. (You are to remain on the ward for this day and utilise the relevant resources).
Your preceptor/facilitator needs to sign off on the health history and clinical assessment information you obtain from your chosen client (Page 10-11 in your clinical placement book)
Your preceptor/facilitator must also complete the Comprehensive Assessment Verification Form provided in the Assessment tile. You will submit this with your completed assessment task.
Students who have any difficulty selecting an appropriate patient for this assignment should contact the unit coordinator.
