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:

• 1 x 4-hour Lecture and Tutorial combined/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 assessments. 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
Inquiry based learning is a small group activity whereby a case is presented, and given the information, nursing
students must use the nursing process in order to problem solve and explore care issues facing the surgical patient population.

Each student has been assigned to an IBL group (named SGDE in the course schedule). These sessions will be conducted in conjunction with3rd year BN students.

Each IBL group will have a tutor who will guide the group through a discussion.

A case will be presented at the beginning of the session, with directive questions of discovery to be explored. After 50 minutes, the whole group will discuss their findings, prior to moving on to the next part of the case.

The next part of the case will require more analysis by the group, before another large group reporting of findings. The final hour is when the groups “wrap up” the case and describe what they have discovered, along with a plan on how best to implement
care for the patient in order to optimise their outcomes, given the circumstances.

Each case will follow a process of discovery and analysis, framed by the Fundamentals of Care Conceptual Model. This framework is available in Canvas for reference purposes.

Assessment 2: Critical Incident
Select the 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 an 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.

The value of reviewing a coroner’s case for your nursing practice is in the reflection on practice, choices made by individual nurses (and other healthcare professionals), ways and systems of practice in difference facilities and documentation practices. Understanding how a sometimes, simple decision or missed opportunity can have catastrophic ramifications is vital in our day to day practice and help us identify the importance of the decisions we  make. It also assist us to identify that we are part of a larger structure and that how we work within that structure or system is important to understand and how that can influence our practice and therefore patient outcomes. 

This assessment must include the following criteria:

·    A brief summary of the coroner’s findings (one or two paragraphs only).
·    Discussion of medical and nursing practice in regards to the following areas:
·   documentation and communication
·   ethical decision-making
·   advocacy
·   leadership and management
·   The culture of the Organisation (not culture related to ethnicity)  A critique of how the deceased person’s death may have been prevented especially in relation to the practice and decisions of the nurses involved. A discussion on the coroner’s findings with regards to the practicability of implemnting any recommendations

Assessment 3: Paediatric Assessment / Case Study
You will be participating in a Kindergym session at a Gymsports location later in the semester. You will have a hands on experience observing, interacting with and assessing a child in their own environment with children between the ages of 0 and 5 and their supervising guardian.

The purpose of undertaking this observation and engaging with the child is to develop an understanding of how to communicate with a child and their guardian. To conduct this type of assessment you will need to have an understanding of the expected level of development and behaviour at the child’s age. You can use your readings and text to support this knowledge development.  

I recommend using headings in this paper to structure the assignment.

The case study requires you to describe the child you observed and how their behaviour, language, coordination and interaction with others etc aligns with the theoretical content and milestones that you would expect for a child of their age. You should also briefly describe the types of assessments that might be used to assess the developmental level of a child and identify what part of that assessment would be utilised by a nurse assessing a child in the clinical area. Demonstrate an understanding of the differences between the results that are expected as ‘normal’ development and unusual development and why this may be the case. Part of this paper should briefly outline some developmental theories and expected levels of behaviour and activity based on age.

You need to describe what you saw in the gym, what the child that you observed did – who they interacted with, how they interacted, what equipment did they interact with  - ie everything, or things with bright colours. Were they able to climb, sit, stand etc – was this level of ability expected in regards to the milestones for their age.

These skills can be applied to the clinical area where, as a nurse, you will need to engage with children and their guardians, conduct assessments and deliver interventions. 

A section should specifically focus on development of a therapeutic relationship. Discuss the process that you went through – how did you start your therapeutic relationship - did you start it out on the floor or in the room, did you start it at all. How did the child engage with you – could you ask them questions and get answers – why/why not?

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.

• Detail re the Paedatirc observation session (Kindergym session) and how this fits in with the assignment would benefit students

Response- the assignment detail has been revised in 2019 and includes better explanation of how the assignemnt relates to the Kinder Gym observation session. This was well received by students in 2019
