Student Name:Student ID:Group:Date:Type of AssessmentThis summative assessment will enable your Assessor to make a judgement of competency based on the submission of your completed assignments against the requirements of this unit of competency.Assessor InstructionsThe Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the quality ofperformance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors must use these benchmarks to make a judgement onwhether competency has been achieved and to determine if the participant has performed to the standard expected tomeet the unit requirement and learning outcomes. Competency results for each unit are recorded in the Record ofAssessment Form.Reasonable AdjustmentCareers Australia will allow flexibility in relation to the way in which each unit is delivered and assessed based on the student’s requirement. The following are the reasonable adjustments for this unit: Trainer/Assessor must select which of the following is suitable for this unit and DELETE rows that are not applicableReasonable Adjustment for this unitCollege BasedOn-Line DeliveryThe assistance of a Learning Support Teacher for LLN issuesModifications to physical environment, e.g. Wheelchair accessChanges to course design, e.g. Instead of written assessment task – change to verbal questioning & assessor to write the answers Changes in lecture schedules and arrangements, e.g. Relocating classes to an accessible venueModifications to computer equipment in the computer labProvision of information or course materials in accessible format, e.g. A textbook in brailleSupply of specialised equipment or services, e.g. A note taker for a student who cannot writeAssessment CodingAssessment of this program of study is based on competency-based principles.S= SatisfactoryNS = Not SatisfactoryStudents who fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed date may be assessed as ‘not satisfactory’. You are required to be assessed as ‘Satisfactory’ on completion of Assessments assigned by your assessor for this unit of competency.Re-assessmentAny re-assessment is conducted as soon as practicable after you have been informed of the requirement to be re-assessed and have been given the opportunity to be re-trained and assimilate the training. You are re-assessed in only the areas assessed NS. It is at the assessor/s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should it be demonstrated an overall understanding of this unit has not been achieved. Students that are assessed ‘satisfactory’ after re-assessment of areas deemed NS will achieve competency for this assignment.I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained and agree to undertake the assessment. I am aware of Careers Australia’s appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand that I must be assessed as ‘satisfactory’ in all parts of the assessment to gain a competent result for this unit of competency. I declare that the work contained in this assessment is my own, except where acknowledgment of sources is made. I understand that a person found responsible for academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action (refer to student handbook).Student Signature: __________________________Date:______ Assessor use onlyAssessor Comment/Feedback: Assessor Name: ________________________ Assessor Signature: _____________________________Date: _________________ Result: Satisfactory/Not SatisfactoryOffice use only:Results entered by:Date:Skills Centre:ASSESSMENT: Practical – Case StudyS/NS result given.

Case Study 1 Scenario 1 – Mr. Frank Hardy (Questions 1-9 refer to this scenario)Mr. Frank Hardy has been in hospital for three (3) days. He was admitted because of high blood pressure(hypertension) and a possible stroke (cerebrovascular accident). After further investigations during hisadmission, it has been identified that Mr. Hardy has had a cerebrovascular accident affecting his left side.After reviewing Mr Hardy’s chart you find that he has a significant medical and social history:Medical History:Age: 68 years oldCurrent smoker, with a fifty year history of smoking 30 cigarettes dailyWeight: 135kgHeight: 180cmHypertension Social History:Mr Hardy is a widow (1 year ago) and lives aloneThere are no children or current support systems Mr Hardy has no current services in his home (such as home help, meals on wheels)Mr. Hardy is currently reluctant to mobilise due to a mild weakness in his left side. Mr Hardy has beenseen by the physiotherapist and given a walking stick to aid with his mobility. He appears to be veryquiet and not willing to engage with staff. He has declined hygiene cares since admission three (3) daysago. When you review Mr Hardy’s care plan you note that the following cares need to be completed:Hygiene caresAssist with mobilityObservationsIn relation to the above scenario, please answer the following nine (9) questions regarding Mr. Hardy’scare both in and out of the hospital and your role as the Enrolled Nurse (EN) providing care for Mr.Hardy.1.Mr Hardy has ‘hypertension’ which means high blood pressure. List the parameters for a ‘normal’ blood pressure range and the ranges for hypertension. The blood pressure readings is denoted by systolic (upper number) and diastolic (lower number) readings in mm Hg. For the normal readings systolic reading is less than 120 while diastolic is less than 80. Hence normal blood pressure range is less than 120/80. When the systolic reading is 140 or higher than that or situations when diastolic reading is 90 or more 90 then it is said to have high blood pressure stage. When systolic is more than 180 and/or diastolic reading is higher than 120 then it can be said to have hypertensive crisis and immediate care is needed. 2.You have performed vital signs on Mr. Hardy, they are; BP135/ 90mmHg, RR 26bpm, P 95bpm, T 40oC.If the observations listed below are considered the normal for adults, identify which of theseobservations are variations from normal levels that have the potential to cause problems with Frank’shealth.T: 36.2 – 37.3oCP: 60 – 100bpmRR: 16 – 24bpmBP: 120/80mmHgThe blood pressure of Mr. Hardy is higher than the normal range and cna be considered as the initial range of 19th January 2017Page 3
hypertensive blood pressure. Thus improper attention can cause several complications or even death. The pulse rate is in normal range but the increased blood pressure has also increased respiratory rate. The body temperature of Mr. Hardy is also higer than normal range whcih can affect the blood pressure changes. However the criticalness of blood pressure and respiratory rates are extremely severe. 3.The term pathophysiology explains the processes and functioning within the body which result in the signs and symptoms of a disease/s. The ‘relationship’ between body systems is the contributing factor/s that work together in our bodies to try and maintain homeostasis. Explain the relationship between Mr Hardy’s respiratory rate and temperature.The temperature has direct impact on breathing rate. The temperature reading of Mr. Hardy is recorded as 40oC which is not in the normal range. The temperature increase has direct association with the respiratory rate as well as heart beat. When temperature of body increases then speed and rate of cellular respiration is also increased and as a result respiratory rate is increased. To maintain the cellular process against increased body temperature respiratory rate of Mr. Hardy is also slightly higher than the normal values. 4.Identify your scope of practice in this situation. List your role responsibility in comparison to a Registered Nurse (RN) role.RN tend to provide primary care to the patient so taht respirartory and hypertensive conditions can be improved. They manages medications and education for smoking cessation so that cardiovascular risks can be avoided and complications of cerebrovascular accident can be controlled. Contrary to this enrolled nurses have scope to develop effective care plans and nursing assessments so that care outcomes can be determined for the patients as well as carers. Enrolled nurse also works in supervision of RN so that different teams can work together and observation, care and mobility needs of patient can be addressed. 5.As an Enrolled Nurse, identify the reporting hierarchy that you would follow in order to ensure thatthis information is relayed appropriately.For relaying information properly enrolled nurses follow a specific hierarchy of reporting. The registered nurses assess the condition and needs of Mr. Hardy by observating patients and discussions from clinical nurse. Thus RN provides instruction to enrolled nurses so that they can provide support through devleoping effective care plans and coordiantion with mulidisciplinary and other other team members. In addition to this for seeking any assistance enrolled nurses also communciate and work in coordination wiht the nursing assistance. The nursing assistants further report to enrolled nurses so that they can update the care plan and staus of patient. 6.Explain and discuss the following three (3) health care professionals’ scope of practice/role in the careand management when referred to Mr. Hardy.19th January 2017Page 4
