Weighting: 20%
Length: 800 words
Unit Coordinators: Belinda Jensen, Stephen Yu, Deb Richards
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to assess your knowledge and understanding of the materials covered in Week 1 and 2.
Learning Outcomes Assessed
· LO1 – Discuss the historical and contemporary factors that influence the image, status and nature of nursing practice.
· LO2 – Explore the role of professional governing bodies in relation to professional nursing practice, patient safety and governance.
Instructions
There are 2 parts in this written assessment:
Part 1: The nursing profession since the 19th century (approximately 300 words)
Describe how the nursing profession has evolved since the 19th century.
To do this, first go to Appendix A located toward the end of this assessment sheet. Pick ONE nurse’s job description from the list and reflect on how the task has evolved into contemporary nursing.
When presenting your reflection, first state and describe the job description you have identified from the list. Then based on the reflection of your selected job description, discuss factors that have contributed to how the nursing profession has evolved since the 19th century. For example, you may consider influences relating to the image, status and nature of nursing practice. Please support your writing with academic references (see next section on literature and references).
Part 2: The professional governing bodies and standards (approximately 500 words)
In this section, you are asked to explore the professional governing bodies and their associated regulatory standards and codes. In the context of the nursing job description you have identified in Part 1, explain how the professional standards and codes have contributed to the evolution of the nursing profession.
To do this, first go to Appendix B located at the end of this assessment sheet. Review each of the professional regulatory standards and codes, i.e. Registered Nurse Standards for Practice; Code of Conduct; Code of Ethics. These documents are available on the Moodle site. Alternatively, you can search for them from the NMBA website (https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/). Select only ONE of the standards or codes that are relevant to your Part 1.
When presenting your writing, first begin by describing the chosen professional regulatory standards or codes IN YOUR OWN WORDS. You can then restate the nursing job description identified in Part 1. Then link these two points and explain how the chosen professional regulatory standards or codes have changed the practice identified in Part 1 and how these changes have impacted on modern day nursing. Be sure to support your writing with academic references.
Literature and references
In this assessment use at least three contemporary references (<5 years) to support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant. Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the five 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 or the Australian Association of Social Workers.

3 Reflective Practice Assignment
Assessment 3 – Reflective Practice
Type: Reflective practice
Due date: 20th May, 2022 (Week 10 of Term) at 11:59PM (AEST)
Weighting: 40%
Length: 1500 words
Unit Coordinators: Belinda Jensen, Stephen Yu, Deb Richards
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to help you demonstrate reflective skills through consolidating your learnings from Assessment 1 and 2. This assessment addresses learning outcomes 1, 3 and 4.
Learning Outcomes Assessed
· LO1 – Discuss historical and contemporary factors that influence the image, status and nature of nursing practice.
· LO3 – Explore the four major bioethical principles and how they are applied in health care.
· LO4 – Construct your own nursing philosophy as a basis for your professional portfolio.
Instructions
In this assessment, use the Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle to reflect upon your learning about the profession of nursing and the bioethical principles from the previous assessments. You are required to undertake the reflective practice by addressing the following questions:
· How has the experience of understanding historical nursing helped you consolidate or impact on your decision to become a nurse? (Hint: You may include a brief description about your decision to want to become a nurse)
· How do you see the role of bioethical principles in shaping you as a nurse and how it influences your nursing practice? (Hint: Refer back to the bioethical principles from the previous assessments. You may also consider giving examples to illustrate your discussion points)
· How has this reflective experience shaped your nursing philosophy? Construct and state your own nursing philosophy as a basis for your professional portfolio. Some prompts to consider: your core values, how you want others to see you as a nurse, where do you see yourself in the future. (Note: You are not required to create a professional portfolio in this Unit. Rather, your input in this assessment will contribute to your own development of a professional portfolio which also plays an important part in your nursing journey)
You may want to refresh your understanding of reflective practice by going through Week 8 materials again. Remember that Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle offers a framework for examining experiences (Gibbs, 1988). It covers the following 6 stages:
- Description (brief description of the experience or event to set the scene and give context)
- Feelings (consider what you were thinking and how you felt before and after the experience)
- Evaluation (looking objectively at both positive and negative aspects of the experience)
- Analysis (making sense of the experience)
- Conclusion (focus on what you have learned)
- Action plan (what can you now take to build on your knowledge or skills)
When presenting your writing, you should include the 6 stages from the Gibbs Reflective Cycle as your headings that help you demonstrate your reflective writing. Introduction is NOT REQUIRED. Remember this is an academic writing. You are therefore, required to support your writing with references.
Literature and references
In this assessment use at least 8 contemporary references (<5 years) to support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant.

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.
