How the learning outcomes align with the case study assessment
Learning Outcome 1

Analyse and apply relevant knowledge and understanding when assessing and managing specific pathologies

The case study requires you to use and apply your theoretical knowledge surrounding structured patient assessment processes.

You should be able to demonstrate clear understanding of the specific clinical presentation and the management involved.

Learning Outcome 2

Identify and Analyse responses to variations in patient assessment data and modify approach to appropriate pathology management

Having discussed the physical assessment strategies within the case study, you are required to discuss management options available to a Paramedic, drawing from relevant evidence bases.

Examples here could include drug therapy, wound care and conveyance (to hospital/discharge on scene etc) decisions.

This is also an opportunity to discuss the severity of the patient’s presentation.
