Context
For this assignment, you will be provided a case study to analyse with key points to consider. The
clinical reasoning skills required will prepare you for case analysis during and after a health
consultation.
You will use clinical deduction skills to analyse the signs and symptoms of the case study
presentation. The task of this assignment will involve using correct terminology to discuss the
disease condition, along with critically appraising relevant literature for the condition presentation.
This is an opportunity to apply your specific knowledge of Pathophysiology of the body systems to
begin considering differential diagnosis and a working diagnosis for the case scenario. This
assignment will prepare you for future subjects in your course where you will be required to
recommend (with clear justifications to the indications) laboratory findings, linking them to the
condition presented.

Identification Knowledge and understanding Outline and discussion of a case history. Percentage for this criterion = 40% |
Did not attempt to present history in an orderly, clear and concise manner. Did not attempt discuss information presented in history or analysis of information not relevant. |
Minimal attempt to present history, but presentation lacking in one or two of the following: orderliness, clarity, conciseness or the information presented is lacking relevance. Minimal attempt to discuss symptoms. Information is presented for case history, however demonstrates lack of clinical understanding and relevance. |
The information in the presented history is relevant. Discussion and analysis of history is relevant but limited in scope, orderliness, clarity or conciseness |
Coherent history is outlined for the case study and demonstrates very good clinical understanding. Discussion of history demonstrates thorough clinical understanding for the case study. |
Excellent standard of demonstrating clear understanding and clinical judgment. Breadth and scope of discussion and analysis of history is expertly delivered. |
Analysis and application with synthesis of new knowledge Review of examination findings and interpretation of red flags for a case scenario. Percentage for this criterion = 30% |
Did not attempt to review findings or consider relevant red flags for the case scenario. Investigations were not mentioned. |
Minimal attempt to review findings. Information presented on physical examination and red flags but limited in clinical understanding and relevance. Attempt made to summarise investigations but limited in rationale to demonstrate clinical judgment. |
Review of physical examination is relevant but limited in scope. Interpretation of red flags is relevant for the case study. Good attempt to clinically consider signs & symptoms for the case study. Good attempt to summarise investigations and clinical judgment demonstrated. Further options may still have been explored. |
Very good review of physical examination demonstrating thorough clinical understanding for the case study. Red flags for the case study are interpreted with very clinical evaluation of the scope of signs and symptoms for the case study. Very good summarisation of investigations with clearly explained rationale demonstrating breadth of clinical judgment. |
