ASSESSMENT 1: LEARNING PORTFOLIO

Topic
Students are expected to submit a portfolio of activities. Students must choose
TWO surgical specialties from the 12 weeks within the course. You are
encouraged to plan your work and complete your activity of choice on a weekly
basis. The portfolio is to be submitted in two parts; Part A covering one
chosen surgical specialty, and Part B covering the other chosen surgical
specialty.

ASSESSMENT 2: CASE STUDY BRIEF

Topic
Select a patient you have cared for, relating actual events in which you were
involved and critiquing the clinical events based upon the literature.

Once you have selected the patient:

Identify the relevant part of the patient’s hospital journey, whilst being
careful not to identify the patient or your institution in any way. Provide a
brief paragraph which situates the patient, providing background, identifying
the significance to perioperative nursing and any limitations or boundaries of
your intended work (this is designed to assist in the development of the
introduction for your final case study assignment).

Provide a rough plan (in dot point form) of your case study identifying
headings that demonstrate the logical sequence and structure for your proposed
paper.

Outline the key points to be discussed using headings identified above and the
issues to be critiqued (this is designed to assist in the development of the
content of the paper ensuring the patient selection and significant issues are
covered appropriately, and from a variety of perspectives).

Describe the search strategy undertaken to identify preliminary references
including key works and databases used (this is to ensure contemporary and
reliable resources are used).

Provide a reference list containing 5 preliminary references relevant to your
case study which complies with the School of Nursing’s School Academic Manual.

A high academic writing standard is required with key points in text referenced
appropriately.


ASSESSMENT 3: CASE STUDY

Topic
Full text journal articles available through electronic databases.
Each student is required to complete a 2,500 word nursing case study of a high
academic standard. Case studies allow clinical episodes and practices to be
articulated and explored. The case study should be about a patient you have
cared for, relating actual events in which you were involved and critiquing
the clinical events based upon the literature. You may write in the first
person to convey actual conversations. Please also ensure patient anonymity is
maintained.

It will be of more interest for you to explore a case where an event actually
happened rather than a case where everything went perfectly as planned. You can
then analyse what policy or system factors contributed to the event and put
forward strategies for future prevention of repeat events.

Structure of the Case Study
The following areas should be considered:
Introduction to the case and explanation of the reason for selection.
Body of text that covers the following areas:
     • present the patient’s story - including clinical
presentation, diagnosis, any relevant history and the pathophysiology of the
patient’s condition
     • outline of the clinical progress of the patient through
the perioperative environment, including interdisciplinary interventions (with
an emphasis on nursing)
     • critique the nursing management of the patient and
interpret the outcomes of interventions, supported with relevant (and
appropriate) literature.
Conclusion that summarises the patient case study.

Confidentiality
The patient’s anonymity must be maintained. Always use a pseudonym so that the
patient is not identifiable and state in the case study that this is what you
are doing. Do not include any other information that may potentially identify
the patient including palaces, dates, times or events.



ASSESSMENT 4: WIKI

Topic

This Perioperative Practice Wiki must be submitted no later
than the nominated date. If you follow the suggested guidelines then the 1500
word length will be achieved. High academic standard continues to be expected.

The Wiki must be on a clinical procedure covered within this
semester's surgical specialty program. The information must be presented as a
wiki, using the marking guide as outlined below. Therefore students are
expected to follow the guidelines as suggested for advice.

You will be able to edit your own wiki and the wikis of
others, just as in the “real” published Wikipaedia. If you add anything to
anyone else’s wiki, the rules of referencing apply. You cannot add anything
which you do not have justification for.



ASSESSMENT 5: CLINICAL SKILLS HANDBOOK



Topic
The assessment of skills will occur over the two academic semesters (Semester
1, Semester 2). Each of the competencies for the course has been given a level
that must be achieved as part of the assessment. Students are required to
complete at least 50% of the competencies for this semester. Which competencies
are completed is dependent upon the clinical rotations of the students.

Students will be assessed by a clinical supervisor / clinical title holder whom
they work with. It is essential that students who do not have exposure to
particular skills, negotiate with the course coordinator with enough time to
arrange for clinical experience to occur. Clinical skills assessment books must
be submitted to the Course Coordinator by the due date in Semester 2.

Marking Rubrics are available in the Study Guide.
