| **Due Date** | Week 5, Saturday 23:59 ACST |
| **Length** | 2,200 words |
| **Case Scenario** | A gentleman over 65 years is admitted for an emergency laparotomy for an <br>acute abdomen. <br>The patient’s comorbidities include:<br>· Obese<br>· Sleep apnoea that is poorly managed<br>· Diabetes Mellitus Type 2<br>· Cardiac disease with recent coronary artery stent insertions and <br>· thus<br>· on anticoagulant<br>· therapy – Rivaroxiban.<br>At some stage in the surgery the patient goes into VT that progresses into <br>VF. |
| ​<br>**Task** | ​​Compose a 2,000-word detailed essay on the above case scenario briefly <br>outlining the implications for the anaesthetic team and especially you as the <br>anaesthetic nurse of this patients clinical scenario. You will then go on to <br>discuss the preparation and management of the patient during surgery and <br>the code blue. You will then decide the outcome of the code blue and<br>discuss the management of the patient during the code blue. |
| ​<br>**Relevance** | ​This task allows you to consolidate your understanding of management of <br>complex<br>patients, managing a rapidly deteriorating patient, and managing a patient <br>during a code<br>blue. |

| **Topic Relevance and Clarity**<br>(25% of total grade) | The topic is exceptionally well-chosen and clearly relevant to perioperative nursing, demonstrating advanced understanding and creativity. | The topic is relevant to perioperative nursing and is defined clearly, showing solid understanding. | The topic is somewhat relevant, but may not fully capture the scope of perioperative nursing, with unclear definitions. | The topic is marginally relevant and lacks clarity in its definition or scope. | The chosen topic lacks relevance to perioperative nursing and is poorly defined. |
| **Depth of Research and Evidence**<br>(25% of total grade) | Extensive research is evident, with a diverse and credible range of sources integrated to support arguments, demonstrating an excellent grasp of the topic. | Research is thorough, employing several credible sources that support the main arguments, though some areas may lack depth. | Research shows limited breadth or depth, relying on few sources that may not adequately support the arguments. | Research is minimal, with few credible sources and weak integration into the discussion. | Lacks sufficient research evidence and sources are either inadequate or irrelevant, failing to substantiate assertions. |
