NUR09717: Selecting a Case Study For most of you, you should be able to identify an individual you are working with or who you have worked with in the past: Promoting Excellence in Older People’s Care Assignment, ENU, Singapore

Selecting a Case Study For most of you, you should be able to identify an individual you are working with or who you have worked with in the past for this assignment. The closer you can relate this to your practice reality the better! Confidentiality needs to be maintained throughout so it is important to clearly state in your case study description that the name of the individual has been changed in line with confidentiality guidance.

The case study is your choice – there are no limits other than it must be an older person – usually, this would mean someone over the age of 65 years.

However, it can be younger depending on the scope and focus of your essay. Anyone who is not able to identify a case study from your current or past practice experience should contact the module leader/supervisor for the module and discuss this with them. Alternatively, we have included some case studies in the units of learning – any of these case studies can be used if you cannot think of one from your own practice. The case study does not need to be overly complex or “major” in relation to health needs, as long as you can relate to it and address the requirements for the assignment.
