ssessment 3: Written Report

Total: 3000 words (±10%)

Weight: 50% of course grade

Due Date: Refer to the submission point for the specific due date.

Scenario (Context for Your Report)

Mr. James Carter, 54-year-old male (ASA II, BMI 29), undergoes elective open right inguinal hernia repair with synthetic polypropylene mesh under general anaesthesia with ETT. The case proceeds uneventfully; he is transferred to PACU for recovery.

At the end-of-list Schedule 8 (S8) controlled drug count, the anaesthetic team identifies a discrepancy: two ampoules of fentanyl are missing and cannot be immediately reconciled against the controlled drug register, anaesthetic record, and theatre documentation. You are the anaesthetic/recovery nurse responsible for counting, documentation, and escalation.

 

Assessment Instructions

Prepare a written report (3000 words) that critically analyses:

Part A — Situation Description & Risk Appraisal (800–900 words)

1. Clinical Context: Briefly outline the perioperative pathway for elective inguinal hernia repair with mesh (pre-op, intra-op, PACU).
2. S8 Controlled Drug Framework: Define S8 drugs and summarise their legal, ethical, and professional handling requirements in perioperative settings.
3. Incident Summary: Describe the incorrect S8 count and missing ampoules, the discovery point, potential causes (human factors, documentation gaps, storage/security), and risk of harm (patient safety, staff accountability, organisational compliance).
4. Impact Analysis: Discuss immediate and downstream implications—clinical safety (diversion risk, misadministration), legal/regulatory exposure, reputational risk, and staff wellbeing (psychological safety).

Focus: Demonstrate situational awareness, systems thinking, and risk identification in anaesthetic/PACU practice.

 

Part B — Management of the Situation (1200–1400 words)

Develop a stepwise management plan that is lawful, professional, and pragmatic:

Immediate Actions:

• Secure remaining S8 stock (lockable storage; limit access).
• Notify/escalate: anaesthetist, senior perioperative nurse/NUM, theatre manager, pharmacy, and governance as per policy.
• Reconciliation: recheck the controlled drug register, anaesthetic chart, perioperative record, PACU documentation; verify wastage entries and witness signatures.
• Search: anaesthetic trolley drawers, sharps bin, clinical waste, PACU bedspace, prep room, and transfer pathway.
• Documentation: complete incident report, contemporaneous notes, chain-of-custody entries, time stamps, and people involved.
• Patient Safety: verify drug administrations to patient(s), monitor for adverse events, and confirm alternative analgesia stock and availability.

Legal/Ethical/Policy Alignment:

• Outline relevant legislation and standards (e.g., state/territory Poisons/Medicines Regulations, organizational medicines policy, ACORN Standards, controlled drug register requirements, audit trails).
• Emphasize the duty of candour, accountability, and a non-punitive, just culture to enable transparent reporting and learning.

Investigation & Root Cause Analysis:

• Use a human factors lens (distraction, interruptions, shift handover, concurrent tasks, unfamiliar locum processes).
• Explore system contributors: workflow design, storage layout, stock reconciliation process, documentation tools, roster patterns.
• Recommend appropriate RCA methodology (e.g., fishbone/Ishikawa) and data sources (audit logs, CCTV if applicable, time-motion studies).

Communication & Team Processes:

• Structure briefing/debriefing (who, what, when), including pharmacy and governance updates.
• Manage staff wellbeing, psychological safety, and clear messaging to prevent rumors while ensuring transparency.

Follow-up Actions:

• Temporary increased supervision or double-check audits; stock reissue protocols; education refreshers; schedule policy review.

Focus: Demonstrate the ability to operationalize an incident response within anaesthetic and PACU environments, ensuring patient safety, regulatory compliance, and team integrity.

 

Part C — Professional Techniques to Reduce Drug Count Errors (700–800 words)

Critically evaluate evidence-based strategies to prevent S8 discrepancies in anaesthetic and recovery settings:

Process Controls & Verification:

• Two-person checks at receipt, administration, wastage, end-of-case, and end-of-list reconciliation.
• Real-time documentation (immediate register entry; no retrospective bulk entries).
• Witnessed wastage with documented volumes and signatures; distinct labelled syringes; no unattended S8s.

Secure Storage & Access Control:

• Lockable storage, controlled key/card access, limited authorized users, no open benches for S8 handling.
• Clear chain-of-custody protocols; separation from S4/S3; dedicated S8 tray.

Standardization & Human Factors:

• Checklists, bundles, and closed-loop communication during counts (reduce interruption and noise, “sterile cockpit” during critical periods).
• Visual management (count boards, stock maps), barcode/scan systems if available, and standard anaesthetic trolley layout.
• Handover discipline (SBAR for drugs), and explicit count reconciliation during handovers and meal breaks.

Digital & Audit Supports:

• Electronic CD (controlled drug) register; time-stamped entries, discrepancy alerts, and audit trails.
• Routine audits, spot checks, and feedback loops to track trends and improve compliance.

Education, Competency & Culture:

• Annual competency validation for S8 handling; simulation of count processes and incident drills.
• Just culture: encourage speaking up, psychological safety, and non-punitive reporting to surface near-misses.

Academic Integrity Guidance	Academic integrity is the attitude of approaching your academic work honestly, by completing your own original work, attributing, and acknowledging your sources when necessary. Understanding good academic practice in written and oral work is a key element of academic integrity. It is a positive aspect of joining an academic community, showing familiarity with, and acknowledging sources of evidence. The skills you require at higher education may differ from those learned elsewhere such as school or college. You will be required to follow specific academic conventions which include acknowledging the work of others through appropriate referencing and citation as explicitly as possible. If you include ideas or quotations which have not been appropriately acknowledged, this may be seen as plagiarism which is a form of academic misconduct. If you require support around referencing, please contact the Faculty’s Academic Development Department or the University wide Centre for Academic Success. It is important to recognise that seeking out learning around academic integrity will help reduce the risk of misconduct in your work. Skills such as paraphrasing, referencing and citation are integral to acting with integrity and you can develop and advance these key academic skills through the Faculty’s Academic Development Department.
Use of Artificial Intelligence	Whilst AI tools can be helpful in assisting learning, when it comes to assessment, the Academic Misconduct Procedure is clear that this should be a student’s own original work and not the work of other people or AI tools. The Use of AI Tools – Student Guidelines follows the same guidelines your lecturers use. If you are unsure of whether AI is appropriate within your work, please read the guidelines or ask your lecturer. For advice and guidance around academic writing, please visit the Centre for Academic Success.
Academic Misconduct	Academic misconduct is conduct which has or may have the effect of providing you with an unfair advantage by relying on dishonest means to gain advantage and which therefore compromises your academic integrity. The Academic Misconduct Procedure sets out the process we will follow, and the penalties we may apply, in cases where we believe you may have compromised your academic integrity by committing academic misconduct. The Academic Misconduct Procedure and information about academic support is available at: https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Student-Affairs/Appeals-and-Resolutions/Academic-Misconduct-Procedure
Turnitin: Similarity checking	It is advisable to obtain a formative Turnitin scan before submitting your work to support you in identifying areas which may need altering. Please visit the University`s ‘Turnitin at BCU’ Moodle site. Work that is submitted and scanned through this service is not stored on the main Turnitin system and this is not your submitted work. Please note this does not provide a report regarding AI generated work.
Extenuating Circumstances	For further details on the Extenuating Circumstances Procedure please see the iCity page below: https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/student-affairs/appeals-and-resolutions/extenuating-circumstances-procedure
Where to get help	The University has a designated student support service known as the Centre for Academic Success. Here you will find support for a range of academic skills. You also should also review the wide range of support and help from the library.
