?? NANDA-I · ANA 2024

Medical-Surgical Nursing Case Discussions presents the clinical scenarios most commonly encountered on adult medical and surgical wards — from the fresh post-operative patient requiring systematic assessment to the patient with a complex wound and deteriorating fluid balance. Each case develops nursing reasoning anchored in NANDA-I frameworks and ANA standards.

Each case in this series is structured around a real-world clinical presentation — combining history, examination, investigation results, and evidence-based management decisions. The case discussion format challenges participants to reason through differential diagnoses, justify investigation choices, and select guideline-directed treatments within the context of Medical-Surgical Nursing.

Cases are aligned to NANDA-I · ANA 2024 and cover: Post-operative Care · Wound Care · IV Therapy · Falls Prevention · Pain Management. The programme is designed for individual learners and multidisciplinary teams as a structured professional development tool.
