Assessment

The assessment is asking you to reflect on the patient's story. Therefore the story could include how the patient felt, what they experienced, how they reacted to the illness or condition they had/have or the experience they were going through.

Please note, it is not the patient talking about their reflection, they are telling the story and you need to reflect on the story you are reading about: (the patient or HCP or significant other or career). For instance, if you are "Relating" to the situation in the story because of your own experience then you need to tell the reader how you relate to the story and what ethical or moral implication this has.

The reflection is not about your clinical experience but about the story of a client who has a condition as per your clinical area of speciality that means that it could be a story of a: med/surg, HDU or a mental health etc patient or carer or HCP or significant other.

Module 1 – Specialty Allocations

Clinical speciality area preference list was published and is available on North Sydney tile. As indicated, there will be a variation between what was published based on your preference chosen area and the actual allocated clinical area. Should there be a variation please, email me and I will authorise the change to do a case study that suits your clinical placement area.

Assessment Task 2A - Module 1

I am aware that most of you have already started looking at assessment 2a. Well done for the early starters. For those who are yet to start, this is a gentle remainder to encourage you to start looking at your first assessment and not to leave this until the last minute. I am sure I do not need to remind you that your AT2a (Part A Module 1) is due on 16/8/2019 as per study guide.

Assessment 2a-Refection

For this assessment, it is NOT appropriate for you to reflect on a personal experience you have had relating to death, dying or illness, this means you are not being asked to reflect on your personal experience but on someone’s experience.

You are to select (MUST select) one of the articles you sourced or identified yourself from the activity on the previous page.

The article should take the perspective or the views of someone who is either a:

Carer

Health care professional (HCP)

Significant other – or close person to the patient or client

The article can be focused on either the Carer, HCP or Close person and should discuss or give the perspective or views or meaning of either death, dying or living with a chronic illness or illness experience.

Previous Activity (Refer to Module I activity)

In this activity you were asked to find three articles from magazines, journals, blogs, online postings (most numerous), where the person writes about the meaning an illness has had for them. Preferably this will be from your area of clinical specialty practice or preference.

Choose one article from the activity as explained in the module and as above. It is from the chosen article that you reflect upon using the five Rs.

You need to do the activity in Module 1 for you to be able to do this assessment. Please refer to the module online.
