Care Study .

The Care Study is a written assessment that evaluates a candidate’s ability to apply the nursing process in real patient care. It is usually based on a client encountered during clinical placement. Candidates are expected to:

 1. Introduction

 2. Patient History and Assessment

 • Comprehensive health history (presenting complaint, past medical history, family/social history).

 • Physical examination findings.

 • Relevant investigations and results.

 3. Nursing Diagnoses

 • Identification of actual and potential health problems using NANDA-approved statements.

 4. Planning

 • Setting SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).

 • Prioritization of patient needs.

 5. Implementation

 • Nursing interventions carried out to meet the objectives (independent, dependent, and collaborative).

 6. Evaluation

 • Assessing outcomes against objectives.

 • Modifying care where necessary.

 7. Conclusion and Recommendations

 • Summary of the care provided.

 • Suggestions for continuity of care at discharge.

Duration: Usually spread over a clinical posting period; submission deadline is determined by the NMC.



Note: Adequate preparation in both theory and clinical practice is essential for success in the examination.
