Assessment
3 – Portfolio
Type: Portfolio
Entry (Individual assignment)
Due date: Week 11 Friday (28 May 2021)
Weighting: 10%
Length: 500
words (+/- 10% of
word count permissible).
Unit Coordinator: Stephen Yu, Rachelle Cole and Patricia
Johnson
Learning Outcomes Assessed
·
Explain the four
major bioethical principles and relate these to your own expectations of
nursing;
·
Construct your
own nursing philosophy as a basis for your professional portfolio.
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to help
you articulate your nursing identity. This is an INDIVIDUAL assessment. This assessment
will help you create a profile of your nursing expectations and philosophy as
you begin your nursing career.
In this assessment, you are required
to compose a Portfolio entry (500 words) outlining:
1) Your expectations of nursing in relations to
the four major bioethical principles.
2) Your own nursing philosophy
Instructions
There are two parts to this assessment:
Part 1: My bioethical principles
Nurses are advocates for patients. When
advocating for patients, nurses are required to have a basic and clear
understanding of bioethical principles to make informed decisions. As presented
in Week 4, there are four main principles of bioethics: autonomy, beneficence, justice,
and non-maleficence.
In 300 words, briefly
explain each bioethical principle (1-2 sentences each). Reflect on the
bioethical principles. Then write a statement on how you see yourself as a
nurse. Relate your expectations of nursing to the bioethical principles. For
example, patients have the right to make their own decisions based on their
values and beliefs as informed by the bioethical principles (Beauchamp, 2007). As
a registered nurse I will respect the patients’ decision. However, I also
have a duty of care and moral responsibility to ensure that patients are fully
informed by the care they receive.
·
Please write in
first-person. Please also refer to the Requirements section for guidance on how
to present your portfolio.
·
HINT: You may utilise
work that you have previously completed in Week 4’s learning activities and
apply them here.
·
Remember
to support your explanation of bioethical principles with references.
Part 2: My nursing philosophy
Nursing philosophy is a statement about your
values, ethics and beliefs as a professional nurse. It also highlights your
motivation in pursuing the nursing profession. Knowing your nursing philosophy
will help you shape the choices you make as you progress in your nursing
career.
Adding to Part 1, in 200 words, construct
your own nursing philosophy in the format of a statement. Identify your
personal core values by asking yourself how you would like others to see you as
a nurse; where do you see yourself in five years; how do you think you can
contribute to the nursing profession. Make it personal.
·
Please write in
first-person. Refer to the Requirements section for guidance on how to present
your portfolio.
·
HINT: You may refer back to your reflective essay
(Assessment 2) to help you formulate your nursing philosophy. Remember to write
it as a statement in 200 words.
Literature and references
In this
assessment use at least 2 contemporary references (<5 years) to support your
statement. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant.
Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks
and credible websites. Use textbook sources published within ten years.
When sourcing
information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency,
authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from
the internet must be from reputable websites such as from government,
university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of
Nursing.

3 Portfolio
Type: Portfolio (Individual assignment)
Due date: Week 11 Friday (28 May 2021)
Weighting: 10%
Length: 500 words (+/- 10% of word count permissible).
Unit Coordinator: Stephen Yu and Rachelle Cole
Learning Outcomes (LO) Assessed
· Explain the four major bioethical principles and relate these to your own expectations of nursing (LO3);
· Construct your own nursing philosophy as a basis for your professional portfolio (LO5).
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to help you articulate your nursing identity. This is an INDIVIDUAL assessment. This assessment will help you create a profile of your nursing expectations and philosophy as you begin your nursing career.
In this assessment, you are required to compose a Portfolio entry (500 words) outlining:
1) Your expectations of nursing in relations to the four major bioethical principles.
2) Your own nursing philosophy
Instructions
There are two parts to this assessment. It is recommended that you complete the tasks separately on a Word document before submitting to Portfolium (further instructions in Submission below).
Part 1: My bioethical principles
Nurses are advocates for patients. When advocating for patients, nurses are required to have a basic and clear understanding of bioethical principles to make informed decisions. As presented in Week 4, there are four main principles of bioethics: autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence.
In a paragraph (250 words), briefly explain each bioethical principle (1-2 sentences each). Reflect on the bioethical principles. Then write a statement on how you see yourself as a nurse. Relate your expectations of nursing to the bioethical principles. For example, patients have the right to make their own decisions based on their values and beliefs as informed by the bioethical principles (Beauchamp, 2007). As a registered nurse I will respect the patients’ decision. However, I also have a duty of care and moral responsibility to ensure that patients are fully informed by the care they receive.
· Please write in first-person. Please also refer to the Requirements section for guidance on how to present your portfolio.
· HINT: You may utilise work that you have previously completed in Week 4’s learning activities and apply them here.
· Remember to support your explanation of bioethical principles with references.
Part 2: My nursing philosophy
Nursing philosophy is a statement about your values, ethics and beliefs as a professional nurse. It also highlights your motivation in pursuing the nursing profession. Knowing your nursing philosophy will help you shape the choices you make as you progress in your nursing career.
Adding to Part 1, in a paragraph (250 words), construct your own nursing philosophy in the format of a statement. Identify your personal core values by ask yourself how you would like others to see you as a nurse; where do you see yourself in five years; how do you think you can contribute to the nursing profession. Make it personal.
· Please write in first-person. Refer to the Formatting section for guidance on how to present your portfolio.
· HINT: You may refer back to your reflective essay (Assessment 2) to help you formulate your nursing philosophy. Remember to write it as a statement in 250 words.
Literature and References
In this assessment use at least 2 contemporary references (<5 years) to support your statement. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. Use textbook sources published within ten years.
When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as from government, university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of Nursing.
Requirements

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.
What can you do to act with integrity?
