Summative Assessment Guidelines

Module- MOD007213- Recognising and responding to acutely ill patient

Due to unforeseen circumstances, it is difficult to undertake a clinical discussion assessment for this module. Hence we have taken an alternative approach to the assessment of this module using a 3500-word essay submission via Canvas.

The summative assessment must demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

1. Demonstrate and apply knowledge of pathophysiology to acute changes in an individual’s health.

2. Compare and contrast a range of tools or approaches used to assess those patients at risk of clinical deterioration and the therapeutic interventions implemented to ensure timely and appropriate management of those at risk of clinical deterioration.

3. Analyse the psychological and social effects of acute illness on the patient their family or carers and reflect upon the implications of the ethical and legal issues that surround the care of the acutely ill patient.
Intellectual, practical, effective, and transferable skills

4. Concerning research literature, analyze the evidence base related to acute changes in an individual’s health.

5. Reflect on the importance of inter-professional team working when caring for anacutely ill adult and consider how this may be improved to enhance patient care
