Based on your midterm evaluation, how do you feel about your progress toward your goals? Are you receiving a diversity of experiences at your practicum site to add to your clinical toolbox? What procedures are you confident in, and what do you need to hone as an advanced practice nurse? As you progress in your practicum, reach out to your Clinical Faculty and preceptor with questions you have.

This week, you will continue to engage with Meditrek, recording your clinical hours and patient encounters. You will also participate in a grand rounds discussion. PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation

To prepare:PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide. Also review the Kaltura Media Uploader resource in the left-hand navigation of the classroom for help creating your self-recorded Kaltura video.
• Select a patient from your clinical experience that presents with significant comorbidities. This should not be a patient with a single, straightforward condition, such as an ear infection, nor should it be a wellness visit. Create a focused SOAP note for this patient using the template in the Resources. All SOAP notes must be signed and each page must be initialed by your preceptor. When you submit your SOAP Note, you should include the complete SOAP Note as a Word document and pdf/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your preceptor. You must submit your SOAP Note using SafeAssign.
  Please Note: Electronic signatures are not accepted. If both files are not received by the due date, faculty will deduct points per the Walden Late Policies.PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation
• Based on this patient case, and using the focused SOAP note as a reference, develop a case study presentation that includes the history of present illness (HPI), appropriate positive and negative physical exam findings, past medical and surgical history, diagnostic results, diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out, and treatment plan.
• Your presentation should also include objectives for your audience (see the resource on Bloom’s Taxonomy), at least three possible discussion questions/prompts for your classmates to respond to, and at least five scholarly resources to support your diagnostic reasoning and treatment plan.
• Ensure that you have the appropriate lighting and equipment to record the presentation. PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation

Video Assignment for this week’s presenters:

Record yourself presenting the complex case study for your clinical patient. In your presentation:

• Dress professionally with a lab coat and present yourself in a professional manner.
• Display your photo ID at the start of the video when you introduce yourself.
• Ensure that you do not include any information that violates the principles of HIPAA (i.e., don’t use the patient’s name or any other identifying information).PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation
• State 3–4 objectives for the presentation that are targeted, clear, use appropriate verbs from Bloom’s taxonomy, and address what the audience will know or be able to do after viewing.
• Present the full complex case study. Include the history of present illness, appropriate positive and negative physical exam findings, past medical and surgical history, diagnostic results, diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out, and treatment plan.
• Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
• Pose three questions or discussion prompts, based on your presentation, that your colleagues can respond to after viewing your video.
• Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes.

A note on grading: 

• Presenters: Review the Grand Rounds Presenter Rubric to ensure you meet the scoring criteria.
• Participants: Review the Grand Rounds Participant Rubric to ensure you meet the scoring criteria.

Week 6 Presenters:PRAC 6540 Week 6: Grand Rounds: Complex Case Study Presentation

Post your video and your focused SOAP note to the grand rounds discussion forum. You must submit two files for the SOAP note, including a Word document and scanned pdf/images of each page that is initialed and signed by your preceptor. Then, actively respond to your colleagues as they post responses to your video.

Week 6 Participants:

Respond at least two times each to both of your colleagues who presented this week. The goal is for the discussion forum to function as robust clinical conferences on the patients. Provide a response to one of the three discussion prompts that your colleague provided in his or her video presentation. You may also provide additional information, alternative points of view, research to support treatment, or patient education strategies you might use with the relevant patient.##
