Mental Health Assessment: Video triggered in class assessment; Guided short answers
Aim of assessment - The aim of this assessment is to give students feedback on how well they demonstrate an understanding of the topics and applications of Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing AND you will also be required to develop a plan of care to address the identified problem.
Details - This assessment will provide an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding and ability to communicate the key practice issues involved in providing quality and evidence based care of individuals with a serious mental illness. This is a closed book, in-class examination that will be undertaken in your week 5 tutorial class under exam conditions as per university policy.
The practice issues that will be examined include:
1. Mental status examination (MSE).
2. Nursing care planning.
3. The therapeutic use of self and therapeutic communication - critique of the interview.
Procedure - You will be shown a 15-20-minute video trigger twice during the tutorial time. Notes may be taken while watching the video trigger. Video has English subtitles.
