Please note: this course schedule may change as resources and circumstances require.
The purpose of this assignment is to deepen the students’ understanding and comprehension of
peri-operative, pediatric, adolescent, and maternal health concepts. Students will develop a
Critical Thinking Framework for a specific health challenge. In addition, students will write a
scholarly paper that identifies relevant data from a case study, a priority nursing diagnosis, clinical
manifestations, nursing interventions, collaborative care and community resources.
Process
Students will select a case study on a peri-operative, pediatric, adolescent, or maternal health
challenge. There are two parts to the assignment. Part A will promote analysis and critical
thinking. Part B will promote knowledge application, scholarly writing and research.
Part A
Critical Thinking Framework
Instructions:
Maximum length: 1 page (250 words)
Using a standard size (8.5 x 11) document, develop a Critical Thinking Framework that includes:
Clinical Manifestations/Complications:
• Identify relevant clinical manifestations from the case study and include related research (5
minimum).
• Clinical Manifestations must be physiological and psychosocial.
• Identify two (2) priority-nursing diagnoses based on the selected clinical manifestations.
• Nursing diagnosis must be physiological and psychosocial.
Interventions:
• Identify five (5) treatment and/or illness prevention strategies (priority) related to each
nursing diagnosis.
• Identify evidence based treatment/prevention strategies.
• Please note: Treatment or illness prevention strategies must include a wide range of
activities such as health teaching, nutritional planning, nursing interventions and drug
therapy.
• Collaborative practice must be included to demonstrate knowledge of roles/responsibilities
of the health care team members.
• All treatment or prevention strategies should be specific and client centered (relate back to
client and context identified in the case study). Please ensure that all interventions include
in text citations and references.
• Please highlight the selected pathway in this Critical Thinking Framework that will be used
for your paper (Part B).

• Provide evidence-based rationales to support your selection of priority Clinical
Manifestation(s).
• Selected two (2) clinical manifestations to discuss. These clinical manifestations must relate
to the selected nursing diagnoses
• Use peer reviewed articles to support your rationales.
Nursing Diagnosis:
• Select only one (1) Nursing Diagnosis
