Learning Activity 1: Summative Exam
I attended my summative exam for decision-making in care for nursing associates in this session. Before the exam, we were given case studies to determine each patient’s condition, which I studied in preparation.
During the exam I was able to revisit core anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, assessment skills and prioritisation for person-centred care. The exam was underpinned by the nursing process and the main framework when evaluating and managing physical health deterioration with the ABCDE approach. In the exam, I needed to assess and manage individuals who are experiencing acute deterioration or mental health crises. I examined specific communication skills for conducting appropriate interviews and gaining a clear history.
