Kate is 17 years old having just been admitted to hospital following a collapse at work (exact cause unknown). The accident and emergency staff recommended hospitalisation as she was found to be mildly dehydrated and hypoglycaemic. At handover the A&E nurse mentioned a referral to psychiatry had been made as the registrar suspected Kate might have an eating disorder.
Kate is a rather remarkable young lady in that she lives independently whilst studying for two A- Levels at night school. She tells you that she was an adoptee given back to foster care and then abused by her carer. She is now an independent minor who works 30 hours per week in the local supermarket to support herself. Kate has absolutely no family support.
Kate is scared stating that she doesnt want to see the on-call psychiatrist and that she will
discharge herself from care if he arrives on the ward.
Whilst you are completing your admission paperwork with Kate the psychiatrist walks onto the ward.
Explore your professional ethical and legal obligations towards Kate. Case Study Two:
As a first year student nurse you are shadowing the ward sister whilst she is caring for six patients on an acute medical admissions ward. It is a bank holiday Monday and the ward is severely short staffed with the agency unable to fulfil the shortfall (it is a sunny day).
Two of your patients Mr. Arnold and Mr. Ahmed require their pain medication of Oramorph. As this is a controlled drug the ward sister asks a colleague to assist.
Two hours later Mr. Arnold who has mild learning disabilities is shouting at his visitors that the nurses are withholding his pain medication. Mr. Arnold informs you that his syringe of Oramorph was only half full.
Mr. Ahmed who is receiving palliative care has been unusually quiet all afternoon.
You find the ward sister to inform her about Mr. Arnolds pain and Mr. Ahmed being sleepy all afternoon. The ward sister initially looks horrified but then states the syringes must have got mixed up; Ill top up Mr. Arnolds pain relief no harm done.
Explore your professional ethical and legal obligations towards Mr. Arnold and Mr. Ahmed.

6. FEEDBACK
You should receive detailed comments on your assignment within 3 weeks of the submission date if you have submitted on time. This will be available via Moodle. This feedback should give a clear indication of the strengths of your work and also highlight areas where improvements might be made. You are encouraged to attend the scheduled feedback sessions with your Module Co-ordinator for specific guidance if you are unclear about what a particular comment means or if you are uncertain about how you might improve future assignments.
Recommended Practice:
Below are some suggestions about how to read and use written assignment feedback for the case based essay. We hope that these key points will assist you to gain the most from your feedback.
In reading the feedback make sure that you also revisit the question and associated assignment guidelines. It is surprising how rapidly these can fade from memory. Also feedback can easily be misinterpreted outside the context of the original question.
If you have a number of questions attend one of the organised feedback sessions with your Module Co-ordinator to discuss your queries in greater depth.
As part of this review process it is important to conclude with a positive question such as What can I do about my academic work in the future to sustain or enhance my marks?
Take time to read the feedback carefully alongside the recommended mark. You may feel relieved elated or angry regarding the mark that has been awarded and lose the benefit of explanations offered because of this first emotional response.
