This assignment focuses on a case study taken from the authors own clinical practice. The legal and professional responsibilities related to therapeutic interventions will be critically explored and the underlying pathophysiology and pharmacology related to the case study discussed. Critical appraisal and reflection will be used to discuss the strategies for the decisions made about the patients’ management. This will be related to the development of the role of the Advanced
