Word Count: 2500 words (+/- 10%) includes in text citations.

Presentation/Format:

You are required to use headings to structure your report. However, your report should include logically structured discussion sections. The Report will be presented as a formal academic paper and academic writing should be formatted according to following:

  • Cover page – include student name, student ID, campus, campus coordinator name, total word count (not including reference list).
  • The preferred layout of your paper should be 1.5/double spaced with block paragraphing (no indenting). Do not indent the first line of each paragraph.
  • Page numbers are to be included on the bottom left corner of the page.
  • 12-point font
  • Any task that is under or over the allocated limits by 10% will attract a deduction from the final mark for the task

Description:

In this assignment students are required to:

Recall a time in which you have cared for a patient of a diverse population based on the populations outlined in the course content, that is: children, older person, men, women, minority groups, culturally and linguistically diverse persons, those with a physical or mental disability.

You may choose to narrow this down further to a subgroup, for example: children aged between 11-16 yrs, older people living in residential care, pregnant women, men living in rural and remote Australia. You will then reflect upon your own practice using the NMBA standards and prepare a report addressing the following:

  • ·         Introduction to your Patient
    • Include a brief outline of the case. Include why you have chosen that patient, and what was different in caring for a patient from this population.
    • Briefly outline the care that you provided to them remembering to de-identify all information.
  • ·         Identify why your chosen population is considered diverse and include:
    • Social determinants of health and how they impact this population.
    • Health inequalities (the differences in health status between population groups) such as differences in wellbeing, risk of disease, abuse/violence, healthy life expectancy, morbidity, and mortality.
    • Health inequities (differences in health status between population groups that are socially produced, systematic in their unequal distribution across the population, avoidable and unfair) such as difference in access, affordability, income etc.
    • Health outcomes – Discuss key health issues impacting this population i.e. certain disease, mental health issues, injuries etc
    • Care Considerations– Using current evidence based practice, discuss the nursing care considerations that would be important in caring for an individual of this population

Approx 1000w

  • Critically reflect and evaluate:
    • Reflect upon your own practice whilst caring for this patient, identify and discuss your strengths and areas for development (including gaps, weaknesses, and bias). Did you find anything particularly difficult? Is there something that you feel you did well in relation to caring for this population?
    • Consider changes that you may need to make to your practice in the future and how you would apply these using evidence based practice. Your discussion should highlight and link to three Registered Nurse Standards such as:
    • Standard 2: Engaging in a therapeutic and professional relationship
      • How to communicate effectively, and how to be respectful of your chosen population’s dignity, culture, values, beliefs and rights.
      • How to provide support and direct your chosen population to resources to optimise their health-related decisions

Approx 1500w

Referencing:

Referencing should be included using APA 7th Edition guidelines. Please review the FedCite Resource page. It is expected that students use a minimum of 15 peer reviewed sources for referencing. These should be no more than 7 years old unless of historical significance and/or of specific relevance to the topic (for example, the Ottawa Charter from 1986). These references can be a mixture of books and journals or Library database sources.

Dictionaries, websites such as better health channel or Wikipedia are not considered a primary reference and therefore will not be counted in the reference count. Direct quotes, appendices, or the reference list, are not counted in the word limit. Direct quotes must be limited to no more than 50 words and be according to APA 7th Edition guidelines.
