Students are expected to use the nursing process (assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation) when answering the questions to anticipate what will happen next in the situation. Questions should be answered correctly and completely. Answers will be presented in students’ own words and not a copy-and-paste verbatim of the textbook. All citations and references must be within the guidelines of evidence based practice i.e. not older that five years and written in APA format. The due dates for each case study are stated in the syllabus and must be submitted on due date no later than midnight. As noted in the above outcomes, responses must reflect critical thinking, analysis of the nursing situation, knowledge of the nursing process and the integration of prior course work acquired thus far in the nursing program. Please attach rubric at the end of your paper.Renal Case studyA 34 year old female is presents to the hospital with complaints of having abdominal and left flank pain.
