Assessment Task

Students will create an online education resource (website) for a chosen disease. You will choose ONE of the four provided scenarios below and create an online educational resource package (a website) using the program Microsoft Sway (located in Office 365 suite). Your target audience are registered nurses (graduates) or enrolled nurses who need an education resource to help plan the care for their patients.

The website must include the following sections:

1. Justification and epidemiology:

• Identify the chosen disease. What is your rationale for choosing this disease? Provide an overview of epidemiological data for the chosen disease within the Australian context.

2. Pathophysiology and pharmacology (video):

• You are required to create and upload to the website a short video (6-7 minutes maximum length) of yourself “teaching” your target audience about 
• This video needs to include:
  • A comprehensive discussion of the pathophysiology of the chosen disease
  • Identifications of one (1) drug commonly used to manage the chosen disease. You need to identify the drug class, describe the mechanism of action, indications and relevant considerations for the chosen drug, with reference to the patient. This needs to be linked back to the pathophysiological changes of the disease.

3. Impact of chronic disease:

• Identify and discuss the impact of the chosen chronic disease on the patient.

4. Long term management and health promotion strategies:

• Identify long term management strategies to promote health and independence for the patient with the chosen chronic disease. These should be linked to the identified factors impacting the patient in the previous section.

5. Nursing care plan for an acute exacerbation (infographic):

• You are required to develop a nursing care plan that identifies two (2) acute issues, goals and interventions to manage the issues.
• This is to be completed using the provided infographic template on LEO

6. Justification of nursing care:

• You will provide your discussion and justification for the identified issues and interventions outlined in your nursing care plan.
