You should choose one episode of patient care that you have undertaken in your clinical context.
The chosen episode of care should showcase your knowledge, expertise and a level of patient care
that is consistent with the NMBA Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice. You may use PowerPoint
or other appropriate media for your presentation, you will have the opportunity to share your
screen with the panel.
In the context of your episode of care, consider and present the following:
• Briefly outline the findings of your comprehensive physical assessment in relation to
pathophysiology
• Describe the diagnostics tests requested and provide brief rationale for their use
• Interpret the results of the diagnostic tests in relation to your patient and describe how
they inform your decision making, especially in relation to prescribing
• Present your therapeutic management plan, including pharmacological interventions, and
discuss the evidence base and critical thinking behind your clinical decision making
• Consider and discuss issues related to patient education, referral, evaluating outcomes
and discharge planning as applicable for your patient in this episode of care.
Case presentations are presented to a nurse practitioner and a pharmacist. You will have 20 minutes
to present your case followed by 10 minutes of open question time.
Please include a reference page to support your patient management and discussion.
You are not required to submit your ‘PowerPoint’ presentation, or any written version. You are
encouraged to email your presentation to the nurse practitioner on your panel via University
email prior to your presentation, in case of technical difficulties.
Please note: The clinical case presentations are compulsory and a hurdle requirement – all
students must present their cases on the allocated day
