Unit Profile Correction added on 22-08-19

The assessment criteria for assessment two has been modified to reflect a mark out of 100 rather than a mark out of 60.  This has no impact on the assessment or the marking or the weighting of the assessment, it is purely an administrative change

Assessment Grading

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student feedback via unit evaluation

Feedback

I have no doubt that the 'Concepts' video presentations would work for some students however personally i do not find this facilitates my learning well. I prefer powerpoint lectures I can download and quickly refer to rather then video discussion.

Recommendation

Powerpoints presentation in the form of PDFs are being developed as an addition to all video lectures to supplement the reading and other material already supplied

Feedback from Student feedback via unit evaluation

Feedback

the FORUM... can't you just delete the questions asked by people and put them in a Q & A i spent hours on the forum looking at questions, asking the same thing in 100 different ways and the answer was refer to this question or this question has already been answered.

Recommendation

a system of providing a summary of each forum at the end of each week and removing excessive questions was trailed, in part, in term 2 2018 but not well received by some students who felt their questions had been removed and not answered however a review and further trail may take place in term 3 2018 in an attempt to minimise these issues.

Feedback from Student feedback via unit evaluation

Feedback

I had difficulty with the first assessment piece, the MSE. I feel I may have had a better understanding of concepts and terminology had it been due post residential school or mid placement.

Recommendation

A further examination of the link between CNP 3 and Concepts of mental health nursing needs to take place as the residential school and placement mentioned here are not a component of Concepts of Mental Health Nursing

Task Description

Assessment 2:

You will develop an ePortfolio to showcase your understanding of the module content.

A series of 5 tasks are included in your weekly learnings that together make up this assessment. Each question will specify a word limit and will be required to be correctly referenced using APA referencing.

 

Task 1: Assessment

Word limit: This task in total is not to exceed 600 words (no more than 200 words per section)

Utilising the guidelines presented in the assessment prompts document, and from watching episodes 1 and 2 of the Jonathon videos complete the following:

 

a. Reason for referral:

b. History of presenting problems:

c. Psychiatric History:

 

 

Task 2: Therapeutic use of self

Word limit: Part a) 500 words Part b) is not to exceed 150 words total

Citations required: a minimum of 4 up to date peer reviewed citations are required.


a. Using up to date peer-reviewed literature, define what is meant by the term ‘therapeutic use of self’ and discuss how this is an important tool for the registered nurse. (500 words)

b. After watching Jonathon episodes 4, 5 and 6 identify two occasions where Ed utilises ‘therapeutic use of self’ in an effective manner

 

 

Task 3: Glossary

Word Limit- no more than 100 words per definition


Jargon is an element in all professions including mental health.  The problem is that it can act as a barrier to effective interpersonal communication and is therefore not person-centred. With this in mind, define the following common mental health terms using everyday language:

a. Affect:

b. Mood:

c. Euthymic:

d. Delusion:

e. Hallucination:

 

 

Task 4: Psychopharmacology

Word limit 500 words inclusive of in-text references

 

Citations required: a minimum of 4 peer reviewed citations are required, please note that MIMs on-line is not a peer reviewed source

Jonathon has been allocated to you as part of your patient load for the shift.  He has been settled into the mental health unit and commenced on SNRI-Duloxethine (Cymbalta).  Jayne, his wife, approaches you to express her concerns regarding Jonathon starting on yet another anti-depressant.

She says “The last lot of tablets he was on caused problems in the bedroom, you know, it just couldn’t happen for him.”

“A friend told me that once he starts on them he can never come off them he will never be the same and I should refuse what you are giving him and just give him St John’s wort and make him exercise and he will be all better” she continues.

How do you respond to Jayne’s concerns?  Present your response as if you are talking to Jayne (but include references), remember to use person centred language and not to overwhelm Jayne with clinical language and jargon.

 

 

Task 5: Reflection

Word limit: 500 words

A professional nurse is self-aware and remains non-judgemental. With this in mind your final task is to honestly reflect on one element of your learning experience in NURS12157: Concepts of mental health nursing, across this term.

An element may be one of the following:

· Therapeutic use of self in the development of relationships with consumers and their families

· The importance of inclusion of consumer perspectives in the provision of mental health care

· The importance of using an ethico-legal framework for assessment, intervention and evaluation of mental health care and culturally appropriate mental health care management.

 

In your response, consider the following;

· Have you noticed any change in your attitudes, beliefs and values across the term?

· If yes, what do you think contributed to this? If there is no change, why do you think this is so?

· How does this influence your “take home message” from this unit?

Academic Integrity Statement

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.
