Interpret: In the following table, list the cues of concern from the scenario above Cues of concern (Subjective & Objective) Subjective Objective Process Information. Interpret, analyse, discriminate, relate, infer, match, and predict. Are there recognisable patterns when the cues are clustered? Are there comparisons which can be drawn with previously observed clinical presentations? Consider thinking ahead: What could happen if you took no action? From the cues/information above identify and prioritise 3 nursing problems. Nursing problem 1 Nursing problem 2 Nursing problem 3 Goals, Actions and Evaluation For each of your 3 chosen nursing problems: Establish a minimum 2 goals for each nursing problem that include all 5 elements of the SMART acronym (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timebound). List a minimum 2 actions to achieve each goal in your chosen order of priority. For each action provide a rationale that evidences the relevant pathophysiological and palliative care principles. This section must be appropriately referenced. For each action describe how you would evaluate the effectiveness of the care provided (i.e. how will you know that your action/s were beneficial to the patient). This section must also be referenced. You must include at least 1 evaluation measure for each action.
