Assignment Task
Brief Description
This assessment requires students to plan, integrate and apply knowledge of safe nursing practice in the management of a patient with a complex respiratory or cardiac condition in a high acuity setting.
Rationale for assessment task
The Registered nurse standards for practice (Nursing & Midwifery Board of Australia, 2016) require registered nurses to think critically and provide safe nursing care. In this assessment students will demonstrate their ability to think critically and provide safe nursing care to a patient with a complex health condition in a high acuity setting.
Course Objectives
1. Apply and integrate knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology, pharmacology, and diagnostics to case studies of individuals with emergent and complex health conditions in high acuity health care settings.
3. Apply critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and reflective practice skills to a range of complex acute conditions across the lifespan to demonstrate appropriate person centred, evidence-based nursing care.
4. Evaluate the nurse’s role within the inter-professional and intra-professional team in regard to effective communication and teamwork in decision making practices within high acuity clinical case studies.
5. Apply ethical and legal practice frameworks, standards and decision making required of a beginning Registered Nurse to acute high acuity case studies for safe person-centred care.
