case card

The aim of this assignment is to bring together many of the assessment principles that have been introduced in this topic. This is an opportunity for you to consider how the material you have learned has influenced your practice.
You are required to submit a case card (patient report form). You are to perform an assessment on someone you know (friend, family member etc) and record your findings on your newly designed report.
Compile in MS word or convert to JPEG if needed.
Directions:
1. Assume that the person you are assessing has a complaint of “a conscious collapse after feeling generally unwell”.
2. The rest of the history, detail, investigations/ findings are at your discretion- you have creative license here!
3. No word count, however you have a maximum of 20 lines of text you may use (similar to a standard case card)
4. Please use a font that is big enough to read with the human eye
5. No references are required
6. You may follow the existing case card templates/formats of any service or design your own
7. Numerical observations fields are not required (BP, ECG), but you may wish to refer to pulse, resps and GCS!
