ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION

This assessment meets Unit Learning Outcomes 2 and 3. This assessment meets Course Learning Outcome 7.

The intent of this essay is for students to have the opportunity to integrate the information that has been learnt related to the NSQHS standards. This will allow students to apply knowledge within their current nursing context into future roles and practice environments. The essay will require students to read a Coroners report into the death of a patient, analyse specific NSQHS Standards related to the case and find research to support the NSQHS standards.

Use the Turnitin feedback to help with making improvements to your assignment. You should allow extra time to obtain the Turnitin report and act on it. (Do not be alarmed by the high Turnitin percentage if you submit your work multiple times. You can adjust this by viewing the feedback report and un-ticking the previous submission in the Sources list.)You can repeat this process as many times are you wish until the due date.
