Instructions:
Choose a body system alteration covered during the course or a patient from your clinical site. Develop a case scenario that includes pathophysiology of the client’s disease process, and the nursing care plan focused on disease prevention and health promotion strategies utilizing evidence-based interventions. After completing the assessment and collecting subjective and objective data develop the nursing diagnosis and plan of care along with the goals, outcomes and interventions including patient teaching on disease, treatment plan and prevention of complications. See template care plan and rubric in the course document.
Important:
1. Include 3 references (minimum) within the last 5 years and in APA style 7th edition.
2. Turnitin Report must be equal to or lower than 25%. Having a Turnitin report higher than 25% will represent a 0 in the assignment.
COURSE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME ADDRESSED (CSLOs):
#2. Design patient-centered and culturally responsive strategies in the delivery of clinical prevention and health promotion interventions and services to individuals, families, communities, and vulnerable populations.
END OF PROGRAM STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES MAPPING (EOPSLOs):
#9. Relate knowledge of illness and disease management to providing evidence-based care to clients, communities, and vulnerable populations in an evolving healthcare delivery system.
ROLE-SPECIFIC NURSING COMPETENCIES (RSNC):
Domain 7: Evidence-Based Practice Integration. Proficiency in integrating current research findings and clinical guidelines into nursing practice to improve patient care and ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality healthcare.

|
1. Application of EPSLO #9: Evidence-Based Disease Management |
Demonstrates advanced understanding of illness and disease management through a clearly articulated, evidence-based care plan tailored to client/population needs. Integrates pathophysiology, clinical guidelines, and evolving healthcare trends. |
Demonstrates appropriate understanding with minor gaps in integrating evidence or emerging healthcare issues. Pathophysiology and guidelines are mostly addressed. |
Demonstrates partial understanding; limited integration of clinical guidelines or emerging trends. General disease knowledge is present but not applied effectively. |
Lacks clear understanding or application of evidence-based care or illness management. No integration of clinical guidelines or pathophysiology. |
|
2. Recognize the Cues |
All subjective and objective data are accurate, complete, and directly relevant. Pathophysiology is thoroughly explained and clearly linked to client problems. |
Data and pathophysiology are mostly accurate with minor omissions. Connection to client problems is mostly evident. |
Data collection is incomplete or unclear. Pathophysiology explanation lacks depth or relevance. |
Inaccurate or missing data. No pathophysiological basis provided. Irrelevant to client situation. |
|
3. Analyze the Cues |
Accurately identifies and interprets relevant cues, demonstrating advanced clinical reasoning. Shows clear understanding of clients condition. |
Identifies most relevant cues; demonstrates good reasoning with minor gaps. Understanding is appropriate. |
Misses key cues or includes irrelevant data. Understanding of condition is basic. |
Misinterprets cues or fails to identify relevant data. Limited or incorrect understanding. |
|
4. Prioritize Hypotheses |
Clearly prioritizes the top 3 clinical issues with justification based on data and relevance to patient outcomes. |
Identifies key issues but with some lack of clarity or misprioritization. |
Lists some issues but lacks clarity or relevance. Prioritization is inconsistent. |
Fails prioritize relevant clinical problems or misidentify critical issues. |
|
5. Generate Solutions |
Outcomes are individualized, fully aligned with SMART criteria, and grounded in best evidence. Both short- and long-term goals are client-centered. |
Most outcomes are SMART and relevant, with minor gaps in individualization or evidence base. |
Goals are vague, not fully SMART, or only partially relevant. Evidence-based foundation is limited. |
Outcomes/goals absent, generic, or unrelated to client needs. No evidence-based rationale. |
|
6. Take Action |
All interventions are precise, client-specific, and supported by current evidence. Includes 2+ independent, 2+ collaborative interventions, interdisciplinary collaboration, and family/caregiver education. |
Interventions are mostly appropriate with minor omissions or generalization. |
Some interventions are unrelated to goals or lack clarity. Limited evidence used. |
Interventions are missing or not applicable. No alignment with goals or evidence. |
|
7. Evaluate Outcomes |
Clear, specific evaluation of goal attainment. Client responses are well-documented. Revises interventions based on outcomes. Reflects clinical reasoning. |
Evaluation present but lacks full detail. Some revisions made. Client response is documented but general. |
Evaluation incomplete or unclear. No revisions to plan. |
No evaluation provided. No reflection of client progress or plan effectiveness. |
|
8. Turnitin Score Compliance |
Less than 15%. |
Less than 20%. |
Less than 25%. |
25% or more. |
|
9. APA Format & References |
