Overview
The integument is the body’s mirror. When alterations occur in skin integrity there is the potential that this will impact on every aspect of the person. Wound management is a complex area with new information being continually generated. You will apply an evidence based approach in exploring the principles and practice of contemporary wound management.
Details
Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites Students must have completed 96 credit points and NURS12158 Clinical Nursing Practice 3 or NURS13126 Critical Care Nursing
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2021
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
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.

1 Written Assessment
Aim
The aim of this assessment is to give you the opportunity to discuss chronic wounds, their management, and their impact on the patient and the broader health care system.
Instructions
This assessment requires you to write an essay focusing on a person and their chronic wounds within the acute and/or community setting. You will be required to apply contemporary research, best practice and wound care guidelines to complete your assessment. Please not that this assessment has two (2) parts, A and B.
Please follow the steps below to complete your assessment task:
Part A
-
Provide a definition of chronic wounds
-
Provide a brief overview of the effect of chronic wounds on the Australian health care system
-
Provide a brief overview of the effect on the patient who has a chronic wound
Part B
Choose one (1) of the chronic wound photos provided below.
-
Discuss the aetiology and pathophysiology of the chronic wound you have chosen.
-
Choose a wound care assessment tool (TIME, HEIDI, BATES-JENSEN) and complete the assessment tool using the chronic wound you have chosen.
-
Describe the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques you could apply to assess the chronic wound you have chosen and explain why these are appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. For example, you may suggest referring to a physiotherapist. Remember to explain WHY you are suggesting this referral.
-

The email contains the below message.
“Good morning,
Mrs Jones has presented to the clinic for change of dressing. She has been self-managing at home but states the ulcer is not healing. Cause of ulcer was a car accident 2 years ago. She has seen a vascular surgeon who has confirmed a venous ulcer. She has a regular GP. She has presented because she states it has become smelly and the amount of exudate has increased. We have conducted a wound assessment. Please see the photo below and the assessment.

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.
