ASSESSMENT OF THE ELDERLY CLIENT ESSAY
Weighting: 20% Length: 500 words

Topic
Care of elderly clients is a significant majority of nursing roles in the 21st century as much of the population is aging. Elderly clients have unique needs and are affected differently by diseases and injuries. This essay should discuss an elderly client with a disease or injury found in one the topics of this semesters study guide. You should briefly identify the pathophysiology of the illness, its symptoms and how it is diagnosed. The focus of the essay should be on how the elderly client with that illness should be assessed, the types of data that should be collected (both objective and subjective) and how a diagnosis is made. A brief description of how that illness is managed should then be made followed by a succinct conclusion.
This assignment is only 500 words long so remember to be concise and focus on the assessment of the client. Your focus should also be on the nursing assessment, describing the role of the nurse in the assessment of the client while identifying an awareness of assessments made by other healthcare workers.
A high academic writing standard is required with key points in text referenced appropriately.

PRESENTATION
Topic
Weighting: 40% (10% peer review and 30% by course coordinator)
Length: 1500 (Equivalent) - This means that the preparation, research of the literature & design of the presentation should take the same time to do as it would to prepare & write a 1500 word essay. It does not mean that there should be 1500 words in the presentation.
20 minute presentation and 5 minutes for questions (this time allocation may change depending on student numbers)

You will be grouped together with other student/s and will be allocated a topic from this semesters study guide. Your group will be required to give a 20-minute presentation to your fellow students and the course coordinator. This presentation should cover the pathophysiology and symptoms of the disease/illness. The main focus of the presentation should be on the assessment of the person with this disease, how it is diagnosed, what assessments are made and by which health professionals. This section should include a practical demonstration of all or some of these assessments. You can use a mannequin, other team members or the audience to conduct these demonstrations. You should then also discuss the care of the person with that illness, including medical and nursing management, pharmacological interventions, other investigations, discharge planning and identify the long term implications.

You will need to identify what equipment you need to conduct these assessments to the course coordinator at least 3 weeks before the presentation dates.

You may also use other material to support your presentations, such as posters, videos, YouTube clips etc.

Students are required to submit a copy of the presentation to the coordinator on or before the due date. You should submit this via MyUni as you would for a word document. The presentation is due a week before the day you will give the presentation so the maximum extension available is 7 days

Please be punctual, respectful and attentive to your fellow students on the day of the presentations.

It is also important to submit your file under the student surname and id number, such as surnamestudentid (i.e. knight1234567). MyUni stamps all the other details against the filename once you submit your assessment.

Late submission without an approved extension will be penalised at the rate of 10% of available marks for each day after the due date. Work submitted more than ten days after the due date may be returned unmarked. This action will be taken to prevent students who do get their work in on time being disadvantaged.

Students are advised to comply with word limits. Students are, of course, not expected to achieve exactly the required length and a 10% leeway on either side is acceptable. However, a penalty of 5% of available marks will apply for word limit in excess of the 10% leeway.

Written work must comply with the formatting and referencing indicated in the School Academic Manual. Marks will be lost for failing to do so.

Marked assignments and feedback will be returned via MyUni. For further information relating to assessment refer to the Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

In accordance with 最新糖心Vlog Policy, the guidelines and conditions regarding resubmission are stated below. It should be noted that these guidelines concern work that has been assessed as ‘FAIL’.

Course coordinators, in consultation with Head of Learning & Teaching and/or the Pre-Registration or Postgraduate Learning and Teaching Sub-Committee Chairperson, are responsible for determining the circumstances in which students may resubmit assessment tasks. In determining these circumstances, the following are considered.

a)     Students may only resubmit their work when:

i)              It will allow them to demonstrate that they have understood feedback on their work; and/or

ii)             They might otherwise be at risk of failing the course; and/or

iii)            When they have received a Fail grade with an underlying mark of 45-49%; or

iv)            The final assessment task in the course is weighted at 20% or more of the total course assessment.

b)    In granting a resubmission, the deadline will be negotiated.

c)     The resubmitted work will be awarded no more than the minimum pass mark (i.e. 50%).

d)    If the resubmitted work does not achieve a pass, it cannot be submitted a third time, and a fail will be recorded.

e)     Students who accept an offer of resubmission must take into account the possible implications, such as eligibility for graduation should the reassessment not be able to be completed in time for their preferred ceremony.
