Assessment: Individual Community Assignment

Patient Case Study and Developing a Health Education Resource

Assessment Purpose:

This assessment enables students to gain important nursing and academic skills to effectively describe the pathophysiology, treatment and rehabilitation of common conditions in clear and concise clinical terminology; use AI as a tool to enhance the development of critical thinking and clinical judgement; use the nursing process to describe characteristics of family/whanau health and health literacy in the context of the community socio-political environment; and analyse the contextual factors that impact on peoples experience of health by responding with effective health promotion strategies.

This assessment links assessment of learning and assessment as learning by supporting students to develop skills such as: utilising current AI technology, data collection and accurate interpretation, searching and analysing the literature, problem solving and decision making, critical thinking, planning and drafting, and academic writing and referencing.

The assignment provides key insights into the important role of the registered nurse in health promotion; in particular, the nurses role as a researcher, health promotor and advocate.

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS:

You MAY use Generative AI (artificial intelligence, e.g., chatGPT or Copilot) prompts to write this assignment. You must submit your prompt(s) and the chatGPT output with the assignment.

Using Track Changes in MS Word or Suggesting in Google Docs, you will edit the AI output to ensure accuracy, add context (Aotearoa-New Zealand) and depth, clarify misinformation, offer alternative perspectives (such as M?ori and/or Pacific worldviews), and make any other improvements required to the AI output to ensure information is factual, appropriate, and supported by evidence. This will require you to use academic research and reference appropriately to support your discussion and edits (using APA 7th guidelines).

If you choose NOT to use Generative AI, you must only submit your own work and upload this to Turnitin (where it will be reviewed for similarity/plagiarism). You will be permitted to use Assistive AI (e.g., Grammarly). You are required to use academic research and reference appropriately to support your discussion (using APA 7th guidelines).
