Applied Bioscience 263 case study 3: Pain.
20 April (week 8)

Most of the information we already had has been put into the links below. This should make it easier to manage as we get further along in our preparation. We'll all edit and update as we go along. There is a space down the bottom that we can use as a 'discussion' area to keep each other updated on any changes or potential meetings.



//(Please note this is a __draft__ order. Please click on ORDER tab below for the running sheet)// Aetiology (Kate Black) Disorder disease (Kate Black) Clinical manifestations (Kate Black) Pathophysiology (Kate Brazzale) Diagnosis (Kate Brazzale) Pharmacological (Lisa) Non Pharmacological Mangement (Lisa) Complications (Acute and Chronic) (Kate Brazzale) Implications for nursing practice (Lisa)
 * Main topics for Presentation:**

Case Study We can decide who presents this depending on how much time each person's sections take up

Some Good Information for us all Found these two powerpoints - may be useful to you both! - Kate Brazz

TENS machine: Any updates on availability, execution of the TENS or just general info on how it works. Machine R is on hold for us at KEMH.

Order for presentation We can each play around with this running sheet until we find an order that we think works best
 * Other considerations**

Ideas for presentation: Please add any creative ideas on how we can make our presentation interesting or just any thoughts in general

Questions for final quiz: We could probably aim to ask 1-3 questions on each of the main topics. Add in any ideas for questions or any ideas on how we can run the quiz

PowerPoint When we have an idea on the structure of our presentation, we can each add our own slides in to the PowerPoint doc. We'll probably need a draft PowerPoint by **week 6**

Resources please add in any useful resources you come across REFERENCES (this can be our final reference list; saves doing it all at the end!)
 * References & resources**


 * Group discussion**

I'll be there from 8 tomorrow so i'm happy with that, give us a chance to run over somethings that may be crossing over topics. Kate, have you looked at the pain pathway? I think thats part of Pathophysiology. Its a hard topic to pin down but thats what Di included in that part of the lecture today. Also have a look at the two powerpoints i upleaded, they have some great notes in there! || While looking for stuff on Implications, i came across some info on Nursing Diagnoses, similar to the NANDA diagnoses we looked at at Inquiry for NP 161. We should probably refer to these somewhere in the presentation, although I'm not sure they'd really fit under the 'Diagnosis' section. The book mentions things like "risk for powerlessness related to chronic pain", and fatigue related to stress of handling chronic pain". Is this more relative to nursing implications? I will add the full list under the Nursing Implications tab for now, if you get the chance can you have a look and let me know what you think? || I'm almost finished writing my sections. I'm aiming t have it finished by tomorrow so I can start on the Integrated case study. Happy Easter to you both! ||
 * Name || Date || Post ||
 * Lisa || 22/3 || This table sucks. ||
 * Kate || 23/3 || Think everything looks really good, I am going to try and work on my part next Wednesday, I will have a think for some creative ideas in the meantime, I will see if there is a short video we could show? ||
 * K. Brazz || 23/3 || This is great! Thanks Lisa! I'm going to study for my AB test next week, but will start adding stuff to this as of Monday next week. I'll see if i can get a brochure for KEMH's TENS machine! ||
 * Kate || 27/3 || Hi Girls! I have started working on this and reading about pain, I was just wondering, as I am talking about what is pain and the causes, would it be ok to introduce the 3 types of pain (nociceptive, neuropathic and psychogenic) and just speak briefly about them, I know Kate you will probably go into more detail but just to pad my section out a bit as it is currently a bit short! Let me know if this is ok with you. ||
 * Lisa || 30/3 || Hi Kate - yep that is fine with me, I've heard of nociceptive and neuropathic before but not the other one! Sorry, I havent really done much work on my part, but I plan to do some over hte next few days. Maybe we should get together once we've all researched our sections and know roughly what we'd like to talk about, and if it seems that we havent split the content evenly between everyone, or if there is more to talk about than we thought for sections, we can reasign some things :) ||  ||
 * Kate || 30/3 || Hi Lisa and Kate, I have uploaded another powerpoint file (as I wasn't sure how to copy and paste all the slides into the existing one!) still got work to do on it but just thought I'd make a start, I am more than happy to go into more detail about how nociceptors work etc but not sure whether that's in my bit or not! if there is anything you think I should add in / go into more detail or leave out I am open to suggestions! I have put the references on the last slide, plus a few question ideas for the quiz. Let me know what you think and am open to suggestions / improvements! :-) I am not exactly sure now if I want to add more detail do I have to upload another powerpoint? is that how it works so we always just have a latest one? ||
 * K Brazz || 31/3 || Looks great Kate! I'll start writing mine up tomrrow. Are you going to look at Dermatomes? ||
 * Kate || 01/4 || Hi ya, I don't mind going into more depth on anything, maybe when we meet this week we can go over what each other has got and decide if there are any areas missing etc and can go from there? are you both around monday/tuesday? maybe we could meet briefly to see where we are up to? as we are off Friday as it's b/h so doesn't leave us much time! ||
 * K Brazz || 01/4 || Sounds Great! I'm there both Monday and Tuesday ||
 * Kate || 01/4 || Ok Great, are you going to the 3-5 lecture on Monday? we could meet before if you want? I have got Indigenous class 12-2 but will be in the library from about 10am. If not, Tuesday we could meet after our Inquiry lecture at 10am? ||
 * Lisa || 2/4 || Hey, I am happy to meet at 10 on Tuesday, I'll hopefully have most of my stuff done by then. ||
 * Lisa || 2/4 || Hi again - just a quick question, is anyone allocated 'assessment of pain'? If not I'm happy to do it, and just run thorugh the pain charts etc. ||
 * Kate || 2/4 || Hi ya, Tuesday at 10am is fine with me, I have not done it, maybe we can run through whole lot to make sure we have got everything covered! ||
 * Lisa || 2/4 || Ok I'll make a few notes on it, I have a good reference here, and we can either include it in diagnosis or nursing implications ||
 * K Brazz || 2/4 || I'm looking at diagnosis so Lisa if you could forward me what you have on assessment i'll add it to my ever growing pile! =]
 * Lisa || 2/4 || Kate - have a look in my Implications for nursing tab, some of the stuff I've been putting in there might be more suited to diagnosis? I'll bring hte book to class tomorrow that I've been working from so you can have a look and see if it's helpful to you. Hooray I feel like we're getting somewhere! Are we aiming to have a draft presentation ready by the end of the week? ||
 * K Brazz || 2/4 || I'm writing up my diagnosis section now so read through it and connect it to your if you like! I have used great references so I'll add them to the list. ||
 * Lisa || 4/4 || Hi all - I've started adding my stuff to the powerpoint. Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere! I'm a bit stuck on nursing implications, if anyone has read anything interesting let me know!
 * K Brazz || 9/4 || Yeah thatd look great under implications! Especially sine nursing is our field, so we can relate it back. Thats fantastic!
 * K Brazz || 10/4 || I've finished my 3 sections of the presentation and all my info is up if you'd like to read it. I've also made some notes on the Ideas and Order for the presentation; let me know what you think! I'll keep checking this daily to see what you guys say. ||
 * Lisa || 10/4 || Hey guys happy Easter! I've pretty much finished my slides, just need to make them pretty and maybe add/delete a couple. If you think I'm missing anything please let me know. I've also commented in the 'ideas for presentation' tab. I just need to fill in my stuff for the case study. Do we know how we're presenting the case study yet? ||
 * K Brazz || 10/4 || I've included my stuff on the case study too, Does someone want to put it all togrther in the powerpoint? And is anyone interested in presenting it? ||
 * Lisa || 12/4 || I've out my stuff up too. I havent even started working on the Integrated case study so I am going to take a break from this case study for a day...i dont mind putting the case study stuff into the power point but I cant do it until at least sunday...i really need to do other stuff in the meantime :( ||
 * Kate || 13/4 || Hi guys, hope you had a good Easter! I have been working on the integrated case study, takes so long! still haven't finished it so much for a week off lol! I haven't looked at this for a few days so will have a look now ||
 * Kate || 14/4 || I don't mind adding the case study part into the presentation and reading it, I will copy the references into the presentation, will try and do a bit today but planning on working on it all day Sunday so will finish it off tomorrow if I don't get it done today, presentation looks really good, due you think we will get through it all within the hour?! ||
 * K Brazz || 14/4 || I talk really fast when I'm panicked so I'm sure we'll be fine. =] ||
 * Kate || 14/4 || Me too!!!! I have added the references and the case study to the presentation and printed out all the notes etc for my part and the case study, am happy to read it unless anyone else wants to, have printed out anyway, hope you are all having a fun weekend, see you tomorrow :-) ||
