Patient consultation, history taking and physical assessment

The summative written case study (2500 words) is based on one patient case study. This will involve a patient consultation, history taking and the completion of a physical assessment, and is reflective in nature. The medical model will be used and should include a history taking section and written physical examination section. Consultation models will be critically appraised, and one will be selected (e.g., Calgary-Cambridge model) to guide the structure of the assignment.
Learning outcomes to be achieved:
• LO1: Critically evaluate recognised consultation models, select and use a model to guide the health interview, obtaining subjective health data; including patient’s presenting complaint, history of present illness, past medical history, family medical history and social history.
• LO3: Document and synthesise subjective and objective health data within each body system, using appropriate medical terminology. Analyse positive/ negative findings recognising any red flags and using clinical reasoning skills to explore possible differential diagnosis.

The importance of the Commerce Clause and the jurisdictional power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is common knowledge that under the American system of federalism, police power gives the states the responsibility for maintaining public order and safety within each state, including the passing and enforcing of criminal laws. However, the federal government must rely on specific powers granted by the Constitution to pass criminal laws. Discuss the importance of the Commerce Clause and the jurisdictional power it grants to the federal government. Include one example of a legal case that was decided based upon the courts application of the Commerce Clause.

Do the three justice components (police, courts, and corrections) constitute a true system or are they more appropriately described as a process or a true nonsystem? Defend your response.
What are the legal and historical bases for a justice system and its administration in the United States? Why is the conflict-versus-consensus debate important?
What are some of the substantive ways in which public-sector and private-sector administration are similar? How are they dissimilar?
What elements of planned change must the justice administrator be familiar with in order to ensure that change is effected rationally and successfully?
Which method, a rational process or just muddling through, appears to be used in criminal justice policymaking today? Which method is probably best, given real-world realities? Explain your response

Phil is driving his son Don to school. He is running late. He gets 5 minutes down the road and remembers that Don has swimming today and he has forgotten his swimming bag. He quickly goes back to get it but as a result is running even further behind schedule. To try and make up the time, he drives faster and goes 30 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Phil’s mobile phone rings and he picks it up. It is his wife Carol asking him where he is because the school has called her wondering why Don has not arrived at school. Phil fails to see Kirstie coming around the corner, driving to work, and he crashes into her.
Phil and Don suffer minor injuries but Kirstie is severely injured breaking her arms, shoulder and numerous other bones because she suffers from a rare condition that means her bones are weak and are susceptible to breaks. Kirstie was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Kirstie is treated in hospital for her injuries by Dr Giles, the doctor on duty at the nearest hospital. Dr Giles fails to notice on Kirstie’s medical records that she is allergic to morphine, which he gives to Kirstie to treat the pain. Kirstie has an allergic reaction to the morphine and as a result her recovery time is doubled. Whilst Kirstie makes a full recovery, she has been unable to work for twelve months due to her injuries. Kirstie is self-employed and wishes to recover her loss of earnings.
