Task description:
1. For this essay you are required to select ONE (1) case option:

assess, plan and evaluate your care for the chosen case during the
episode of care.
- From the chosen case identify and discuss TWO (2) current
problems which are directly impacting on the patients’ health. - For each current problem, identify and discuss TWO (2)
interventions (collaborative or independent).
Note: One (1) intervention in the essay must be entirely nursing
led and initiated. When discussing collaborative interventions,
