ASSESSMENT INFORMATION Assessment Title Assessment Task 1 – Project Purpose This project will engage students with the application of theory to practice and is designed to facilitate an understanding of the impact of illness on the patient. This mode of assessment aims to broaden students’ communication strategies, which is a necessary skill in nursing and will enable the student to become a safe and effective nurse. The assessment has 3 goals: 1. It will allow students to demonstrate a good understanding of the disease processes, both in the chronic and acute exacerbation phase and how these impact on the patient; 2. It will encourage students to plan the care of an acutely unwell patient; 3. It will enhance the students’ skills in digital health and literacy Due Date Wednesday 13th September 2023 Time Due 14:00 Weighting 50% Length Equivalent to 2000 words +/- 10% Assessment Rubric Appendix 1 of the NRSG265 unit outline LEO Resource A national zoom session will be held in week three (3), which will provide students with an overview of the assessment as well as resources and advice on how to approach the task. Students are encouraged to post questions on the discussion forum on LEO and to check for answers there as a first point of query. LOs Assessed LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4 Task Students will create an online education resource (website) for a chosen disease. You will choose ONE of the four provided scenarios below and create an online educational resource package (a website) using the program Microsoft Sway (located in Office 365 suite). Your target audience are registered nurses (graduates) or enrolled nurses who need an education resource to help plan the care for their patients. The website must include the following sections: 1. Justification and epidemiology: • Identify the chosen disease. What is your rationale for choosing this disease? Provide an overview of epidemiological data for the chosen disease within the Australian context. 2. Pathophysiology and pharmacology (video): • You are required to create and upload to the website a short video (6-7 minutes maximum length) of yourself “teaching” your target audience about NRSG265: Principles of Nursing - Medical NRSG265_ Assessment 1: Project © Australian Catholic University 2023 _ Page 2 of 3 the disease pathophysiology and related pharmacology. • This video needs to include: i. A comprehensive discussion of the pathophysiology of the chosen disease ii. Identifications of one (1) drug commonly used to manage the chosen disease. You need to identify the drug class, describe the mechanism of action, indications and relevant considerations for the chosen drug, with reference to the patient. This needs to be linked back to the pathophysiological changes of the disease. 3. Impact of chronic disease: • Identify and discuss the impact of the chosen chronic disease on the patient. 4. Long term management and health promotion strategies: • Identify long term management strategies to promote health and independence for the patient with the chosen chronic disease. These should be linked to the identified factors impacting the patient in the previous section. 5. Nursing care plan for an acute exacerbation (infographic): • You are required to develop a nursing care plan that identifies two (2) acute issues, goals and interventions to manage the issues. • This is to be completed using the provided infographic template on LEO 6. Justification of nursing care: • You will provide your discussion and justification for the identified issues and interventions outlined in your nursing care plan. 7. References Scenarios: 3. A 69-year-old male of Australian background with a history of hypertension and is a current smoker (30 years), diagnosed with aortic stenosis. 4. A 35-year-old female of Irish background with a family history of multiple sclerosis (father). Newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Submission Via the LEO dropbox in the NRSG265 LEO site under the “Assessment” tile. You will submit 2 parts: 1. The URL link for your website 2. The exported Word document which provides a time stamp of when you finished your website and submitted your work. If a student is found to have edited their website and work after the submission date, their website will be compared to the uploaded Word version and marks will be deducted dependent on the significance of the changes, which may result in an allocation of 0 marks.
