As this is a written report assignment you can use headings/sub headings. It is your choice to use headings; they are not required but can make it easier to organise your work.  There are two possibilities for the layout of the assignment:

1.Address each problem in turn, so all the discussion on problem one, followed by all the discussion on problem two.

2.Alternatively you could introduce both problems, then both outcomes, then all interventions and evaluations). This can work well if there is a relationship between the two patient problems.

3. Items to include in the report:

Background on your patient (please keep it very brief, only include enough for your reader to understand your content).

Assessment data - this will only be needed in order to explain how you arrived at your chosen health problems.

Identified health problems- you will only need to choose two from the original list in your care plan.

The identified health outcomes for your problems- these will be key to linking your health problem and interventions through to evaluation of care (s).

What you will need to accomplish within the report

Using assessment data from the case study and scholarly evidence provide a pathophysiological rationale for arriving at the two health problems from the collected data.

Using scholarly evidence and reasoning provide a rationale for the chosen health outcomes.

Using scholarly evidence prioritise the main nursing interventions which can be undertaken by a new graduate registered nurses to assist the patient to achieve the desired health outcome. What evidence, policy or guidelines supports these interventions. For some patient problems there may potentially be a wide range of possible interventions, so focus on the exploring the key interventions to generate some depth.

How would you measure (evaluate) the effectiveness of your chosen interventions, what evidence would be required to demonstrate if the goals of care had been achieved.
