Introduction
The NU 665 Week 13 Final Case Analysis is a summative exercise designed to demonstrate advanced clinical reasoning, evidence-based decision making, and professional accountability in complex patient care. This final case analysis (12% of the course grade) requires synthesis of pathophysiology, assessment findings, diagnostic reasoning, therapeutic planning, safety/ethical considerations, and interprofessional collaboration. The purpose of this paper is to show that you can apply graduate-level knowledge to a real-world clinical scenario and produce a clear, defensible plan of care grounded in current best evidence and professional standards.
This report will follow the Week 14 Final Case Study Template and the course grading rubric. It will open with a concise case summary and relevant background (history, presenting symptoms, past medical history, medications, social factors). The core of the analysis will consist of a focused, prioritized assessment and an evidence-based differential diagnosis with rationale linked to pathophysiology. Diagnostic testing and monitoring needs will be justified against contemporary clinical guidelines. The management plan will include pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions, nursing and provider responsibilities, patient/family education, and measurable clinical goals. Risk mitigation, patient safety, legal/ethical issues, and anticipated barriers to care will be explicitly addressed. Finally, the paper will present an evaluation and follow-up strategy and a short reflective section that highlights lessons learned and implications for future practice.
Throughout, the analysis will use clinical reasoning frameworks (for example, Tanner’s clinical judgment model), quality and safety competencies (QSEN), and evidence-based practice methods (PICO approach to guide literature selection). Recommendations will be supported by up-to-date peer-reviewed research, clinical practice guidelines, and relevant professional standards (e.g., ANA Code of Ethics). The paper will meet academic requirements for scholarly writing and APA 7th edition referencing, and an appendix will include the completed interview/assessment guide or other template materials as required by the Week 14 template.
