Nursing Clinical Case Presentation
Nursing clinical case presentation is a way to learn and research in the nursing. Presentation of one patient’s situation will provide a rich description without identifying the patient. A Nursing clinical case presentation can be selected for a number of reasons: describe a new or rare case; discuss a nursing problem that is unique or maybe typical, but not normally handled well; educate about the mechanism of a disease or condition; or outline adverse or beneficial side effects of drugs or treatment. A Nursing clinical case presentation also could highlight a unique interdisciplinary approach to a problem. Nurses will discuss findings and interpretation in light of the literature about similar cases. Including nursing implications as well as problems encountered and how they were solved. Team will provide any recommendations for the nursing care of this type of patient in the future.
Nursing Tumour Board
Nursing tumor board is a forum for the interdisciplinary care of cancer patients, especially those with difficult management problems or unusual manifestations. The goal is to decide on the best possible care plan or protocol as a group.
