Learning Portfolio

 

Assessment

Introduction Briefly introduce your allocated long-term condition. This should include a definition of what a long-term condition is and an explanation of your allocated condition, along with a brief overview of its epidemiology and aetiology. In addition, outline how you searched for academic evidence to support this learning portfolio. A search strategy describing the relevant search terms you used, the research databases you searched and the number of results you obtained should be provided using a table format. Word Count Guide: Approximately 300 
Portfolio Entry 1Learning Outcome 1 will be achieved by describing the pathophysiology associated with your allocated long-term condition, supported by relevant academic literature. You must demonstrate your ability to understand healthy human anatomy and physiology and the changes that occur when your allocated condition arises. This should include describing the changes that occur at the 1) cellular, 2) tissue/organ and 3) body system level in relation to your allocated condition. The main symptoms produced because of these changes should be briefly summarised. This learning entry must be evidence based using appropriate academic sources. Word Count Guide: Approximately 500 words
Portfolio Entry 2 Learning Outcomes 2, 3 and 5 will be addressed by discussing, analysing and evaluating the research and evidence base that informs holistic nursing practice when working with patients/families/carers to support someone with your allocated long-term condition. You must demonstrate your ability to understand the role of the nurse during one of the following stages of the patient journey, in relation to your allocated long-term condition: 1) assessment and diagnosis2) management3) disease progression and comorbidity4) end of life care This must include all aspects of holistic nursing practice i.e. physical, psychological, social and spiritual and focus on the role of the nurse in supporting a patient and family/carer on the specific stage of the patient journey.

This should focus on the communication skills used by a member of the multi-disciplinary team to break bad news to a patient and/or family/carer in one scenario. For example transitions of care, treatment changes or loss and bereavement. This reflective account should be written in the 1st person. Word Count Guide: 750 words   
Description (written in the first person)What happened?
Feeling (written in the first person)What were you thinking and feeling?

Care and Management of Colorectal Cancer Student Name

Care and Management of Colorectal Cancer
Introduction
Colorectal cancer refers to cancer which occurs in the rectum or colon, and sometimes it is referred to as colon cancer. Notably, colon is the large bowel or large intestine while rectum is the passageway which connects the colon to the anus (Journy, Lee, Harbron, McHugh, Pearce, & de González, 2017). Colon cancer is an example of a long term condition; a long term condition is one which at present cannot be cured. It can only be managed and controlled through different therapies and medication. Other examples of long term conditions include heart disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. One of the effective ways of managing colon cancer is through holistic nursing care which is offered by nurses.  
Research in this study was conducted through a systematic review. Before searching literature for this project, a strategy was put in place in order to ensure that the most appropriate and relevant sources are gathered and that these sources are of the highest possible quality (Ciria, Ocaña, Gomez-Luque, Cipriani, Halls, Fretland, & Edwin, 2020). A clear search strategy was created by formulating an answerable question by using the search terms in a framework such as PICO. The primary question used for this project is ‘What is the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer and what is the role of holistic nursing care in managing the condition?’ Rewording the question was done to make it easier to search for literature was useful and enable the researcher to use key terms in their research. This is why PICO was selected, because it is an effective tool. The acronym PICO stands for ‘Population’, ‘Intervention’, ‘Comparator’ and ‘Outcome’. Due to the size of the project and the different themes that are being discussed, a range of search terms were used within the PICO framework in order to ensure that the literature search returns a variety of appropriate sources. The search terms used include colorectal, holistic, pathophysiology, comorbidity, and disease progression. 
Portfolio Entry 1
The Pathophysiology of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is caused by a stepwise accumulation of genetic defects as well as clonal proliferation arising from mutation in colonic epithelia cells in a rather ademocarcinma transformation sequence of the normal colonic mucosa; this results from a protuberant growth referred to as adenoma or polyp, which is shown in the Fig. 1 below, before progressing to adenocarcinoma (Lemoine, Sugarbaker, & Van der Speeten, 2017). The tumour suppressor gene of the adenomatous polyposis colon (APC) undergoes mutations, and these are some of the most common forms of genetic defects which are observed in sporadic colorectal cancer; they account for approximately 80% of all the genetic defects leading to colorectal cancer. The protein product associated with the APC gene which does not undergo mutation prevents cases of accumulation of a β-catenin protein, nuclear translocation of the same, as well as gene transcription from being inappropriately activated...
