Pediatric Nursing Rounds- Oral Presentation
Purpose of Assignment
To provide the student an opportunity to integrate knowledge from the sciences, developmental theory and physical assessment data to the care of a pediatric client and family in the acute care setting. The student will utilize critical thinking and independent judgments in presenting a holistic plan of care in a formal oral presentation. Student Approach to Assignment The patient chosen for my oral presentation in my pediatric nursing rounds was a 15-year-old male who had presented into the ED with 15% of partial thickness burns on both of his arms, both of his legs, abdomen, and chest. While cooking fries in the fryer, the patient had accidentally spilled grease on himself, which resulted in the burns. Reason for Inclusion of the Assignment in the Portfolio This assignment is included in the portfolio because it highlights an in-depth analysis of the care he received from the nurse and myself. |
