Principle of Nursing Chronic Illness and Disability Assignment

Assignment Task

Purpose

This assessment enables you to showcase verbal and written communication skills and your understanding of the key issues for patients with chronic illness and disability. The assessment allows you to demonstrate an understanding of the complexities of multimorbidity for a person with a disability and chronic condition. This assessment will develop and expand on your ability to identify factors which inhibit independence and diminish quality of life. You will need to consider issues that inform behaviour and advocate for practical strategies to improve independence and quality of life.

Task information

Case study

A middle-aged adult with type 2 diabetes and an above knee amputation that occurred five years ago as a result of diabetes- related foot disease.

Question

1. What factors impact on quality of life as per case-study:

i. what impact the chronic condition & disability have on:

• Quality of life.
• Independence.
• Activities of living (consider below Roper Logan Tierney model of care), be specific, provide key words on the poster and provide narration on the script.

2. An innovative (e-health based) and relevant strategy/action/behaviour change that the person in the case study themselves can implement at home to support their independence and quality of life.

• Outline the relevance of the identified strategy/action/behaviour change for the person in the case study.
• What your (the RNs) role will be in assisting the person to be able to independently complete/achieve the strategy/action/behaviour change.

3. A drawing/image of a health behaviour theory (for example, the health belief model, theory of planned behaviour etc.) that incorporates considerations from the case study into the model (e.g. think of the case studies age/stage of life, their conditions and associated risk factors/symptoms).

• Also, answer how you, as the Registered nurse, could apply the theory to encourage the case study to implement the innovative and relevant strategy/action/behaviour change you have identified.

4. An appropriate and real service/support/group in your local area (consider: Sydney southern side) that could assist the person in the case study to improve their independence and quality of life.

• Include a description of the real service/support/group in your local area, its relevance and why/how the service will assist the person in the case study.

5. The role of the NDIS in the case study’s ongoing care needs

How you, as an RN, can promote (one) of the seven elements of the NDIS Code of Conduct when supporting the person in the case study in the management of their conditions
