Assessment Aim
The aim of your assignment is to develop a portfolio on culturally responsive care in the Australian health care context. The purpose of your portfolio is for you to make connections between the unit material and real-life application in the delivery of healthcare. In order to meet this aim, you are to engage with the weekly unit material and tutorials from Modules 1-6, where a number of resources are offered that will support your response to this assessment task.
Task Description
You are required to select four (4) tasks and provide a response of approximately 500 words for each task. Each response should demonstrate your understanding of the key issues and concepts of the topic, supported by current literature. You are encouraged to use examples, where possible, to illustrate your understanding and to read beyond the set readings to develop a deeper understanding of the topic areas.
Choose four (4) tasks from the list below:
Week 1 task
Discuss two culturally safe practices to adopt in knowing how your own culture, values, attitudes, assumptions and beliefs influence interactions with people, family, communities and colleagues. To guide your response, refer to the Code of Conduct for Nurses (2018), Principle 3: Cultural practice and respectful relationships, section 3.2 Culturally safe and respectful relationships.
Week 2 task
Discuss the negative health effects of ethnocentrism and discrimination on minority population groups.
Week 3 task
Discuss two social determinants that may impact on access and equity for First Nation Australians.
Week 4 task
Discuss the outcomes of two targets of the Closing the Gap campaign in the latest Closing the Gap Report 2019 from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Week 5 task
Discuss two likely differences in healthcare needs of migrants and asylum seekers.
Week 6 task
Discuss two benefits of promoting a diverse workplace.
Note: Try to work on the portfolio each week. You will find this keeps you up to date and reduces stress when the assessment item is due. Please ensure that you select only four tasks. If you submit more than four task answers, then the first four are marked and used to make your final Assessment 1 mark.
In order to successfully complete the requirements of this assessment, students will need to actively engage with the resources offered by Academic Learning Centre (ALC) available in the ALS NURS11162 sub-Moodle site, including weekly tutorial sessions.
When addressing the assignment topic, you will need to use contemporary literature (<5 years) to support your discussion. When sourcing information, consider the five elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. References sourced from the world-wide-web must be from reputable websites such as from government, university, or peak national bodies, for example, the Australian College of Nursing. It is expected that you will read widely around the topic (beyond the unit resources) and correctly reference your paper using APA referencing style (current CQUniversity abridged edition). A minimum of seven up-to-date references (overall), including journal articles as well as relevant books and websites are to be used.
A 2000-word limit has been set for this assignment. An Introduction and a Conclusion are not required for this portfolio presentation. A 10% leeway on either side of the word limit is accepted. Word count is measured from the first word of the portfolio to the last word of the portfolio and includes in-text referencing. Not included in the word count are the title page and reference list. To help scaffold your assessment you should allow approximately 25% (approximately 500 words) for each of the four chosen topics listed in the Task Description above. Any information over the word count (+10%) will not be marked.
· Write in the third person language
· Use double-line spacing and Arial 11-point font throughout
· Include a title page with student name, student number, unit code, unit name, term date and year, names of unit coordinators, name of assignment, due date for submission, and actual word count
- Include a reference list at the end
of your portfolio correctly formatted to APA referencing style
- Include a header with the page
numbers and a footer with your student name and student number in a font
style one size smaller than the body of your assignment
- Submit your Assessment Task 1 by
the due date
- Submit via NURS11162 Moodle site
through Turnitin
- Upload with the file named in the following format: Surname_ First name_ Student number_ A1
- Include a reference list at the end

answer including the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australian (NMBA) nursing
codes that guide health professionals on the issues discussed.
1. Compare and contrast the communication skills, attitudes and behaviours of Nurse 1 and Nurse 2 during patient interactions using the ANSAT behavioural cues tool (available in Assessment 2 portal in Moodle). You are to identify and address a minimum of 2 (two) points of difference. Clearly identify the chosen vignette in your response.
2. Discuss a number of communication strategies that promote health literacy for people with disability. Your response must relate to the type of disability represented in the chosen vignette (intellectual disability or person who is vision impaired).
3. Discuss inequitable healthcare for people with disability as a human rights issue. Include in your discussion at least one health policy or government directive.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
