This course uses a blend of lectures, tutorials and workshops to identify situations that impact the daily environment of nursing practice. Students are encouraged to consider their ‘arrival’ at the career of nursing and to actively reflect on what they consider to be the professional skills and attributes. Role plays and self -directed learning opportunities help to facilitate the reflective nature of this course.

The workload for this course requires attendance at:
• 2 x 1 hour lecture / week
• 2 x 1 hour tutorial / week
• 1 x 3 hour inquiry based learning workshop / week

It is expected that you will need to invest about 24 hours per week of study to successfully complete this course. This includes all study activities, lectures, tutorials, IBL sessions, readings and assessment. Thus some weeks it will be more and others less. It is recommended that you plan your time commitment to the course at the beginning of the semester.

The tables below indicate the lecture, tutorial and I based workshop outlines for Applied Nursing Practice 1.
Its purpose is to address the fundamentals of nursing care including nursing, biological and pharmacological sciences relevant to selected health problem and variations across the lifespan. You will apply your knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, fundamentals of nursing, patient education and primary health care by using case based presentations.

Assessment 1: IBL participation
This is both a formative and summative assessment. Inquiry based learning is an active process involving significant communication between tutors and students. During this course students will work to apply their knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, fundamentals of nursing, patient education, primary health care to the series of health problems presented. Assessment will be based on the student’s performance in relation to:
· IBL Process Skills
· Knowledge Base Development
· Reasoning
· Personal, Professional and Collegial Behaviour
· Verbal Interactions

My virtual child is an online learning tool in which students raise a child from birth to 18 years. The publisher estimates that it takes 8 hours to raise your child. You will raise a child on your own and during the process students will be asked to compare their child with expected human development as described in the textbook and via the links out of My Virtual Child. During this process there will be 4 assessments that will occur after particular stages of development: 

Assessment 2-4: My Virtual Child Assessments

2. After 3 years of age This is the test that you should be able to complete once your child has reached 3 years of age. There are 100 questions in the test.

3. After 12 years of age This is the test that you should be able to complete once your child has reached 12 years of age. There are 75 questions in the test.

4. After 18 years of age In no more than 1250 words describe: Your child’s physical, cognitive, social, emotional and moral development. To what extent could you have predicted their development based on what you knew of your child's earlier development? How do you know this? Describe specific ways in which you think your parenting style positively and negatively affected your child's development. If you could make changes in your parenting style what would they be and why would you make these changes? Use evidence from the textbook and other sources to support this description. Describe some specific ways in which your child developed that appeared to be influenced by factors outside your control, such as genes, random environmental events or the general influence of contemporary culture.

Assessment 5: Critical incident and analysis paper

Select a coroner’s case from the folder on MyUni; Using the case as the basis for your paper identify the key aspects of the nursing involvement and provide a evidence based critique of the nursing care. For example the case may describe a lack of communication, duty of care or failure of equipment (or any combination of these), which led to the patient’s death. This paper is not to be a summary of the case or the coroner’s findings.

Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of MyUni. TurnItin will be used to check student assignments. Students MUST keep an electronic copy of all assignments submitted. 

Extensions are generally awarded for no more than 10 working days unless there are exceptional circumstances.

To apply for an Assessment Extension, a student must submit an application for extension form prior to the assessment deadline. You will find this on the School of Nursing Website or use the link provided here.

See the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment Policy http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/3303/

Students are to ensure they are familiar with the contents of the 2014 Master of Clinical Practice Handbook. A PDF of this document is available through MyUni.

The following marking guides will be used for the assignments:

Marking Guide - IBL Student Evaluation

Student performance will rated as competent, partially demonstrated or not demonstrated in relation to the following:

IBL Process Skills

• Identify relevant information in the case presentation • Develop Hypotheses • Discuss hypotheses in terms of mechanisms • Use evidence to support reasoning • Develop specific/concise learning issues • Links learning issues to aspects of case • Identify and uses appropriate resources

Knowledge Base Development

• Identify relevant knowledge required for the problem • Apply anatomical knowledge to the problem • Apply and integrate lecture material into discussion • Synthesise new information and present in discussion without notes • Apply existing and new knowledge to the problem and is able to discuss/test hypotheses with appropriate information from learning issues • Comment on student’s knowledge base

Reasoning

• Presents ideas in a logical stepwise manner • Re-evaluates hypotheses in response to new information or discussion • Asks questions which help to clarify the problem • Links ideas to contribute to drawing pu a concept map as a summary

Critical analysis (30%) • the critical incident analysis demonstrates a high degree of critical thought and insight into the patient's condition and nursing care provided by: • providing a justification/rationale for the argument/discussion (or analysis) pertaining to nursing care • demonstrating they have reflected on the complex issues surrounding the nursing care • discussing the nursing care from differing perspectives, thereby providing a balanced argument/discussion.

Referencing 15%

• the referencing style used throughout the paper is congruent with the Discipline’s Student Handbook and Style Guide • the reference list is accurate (i.e. no missing page numbers, volumes, correct title, etc.), complete (i.e. no references in the body of the paper are missing from the reference list) and consistent with Discipline’s Student Handbook and Style Guide • the references cited are contemporary (i.e. less than 10 years old unless seminal papers) • primary references are used predominantly (i.e. the original reference has been cited rather than a secondary source) • there is evidence in the paper that the student has searched widely for information related to the topic/issue • the student has acknowledged all sources of information • direct quotations are only used to make crucial points or to support the discussion/argument.

• More group discussion about the virtual child results rather than just writing assignment. To be discussed further in class.
