assessment aims to
oaden students’ communication strategies, which is a necessary skill
in nursing and will enable the student to become a safe and effective nurse.
The assessment has 3 goals:
1. It will allow students to demonstrate a good understanding of the disease processes,
oth in the chronic and acute exace
ation phase and how these impact on the
patient;
2. It will encourage students to plan the care of an acutely unwell patient;
3. It will enhance the students’ skills in digital health and literacy

Resource
A national zoom session will be held in week three (3), which will provide students with an

Assessed LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4
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
esource 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

the disease pathophysiology and related pharmacology.
• This video needs to include:
i. A comprehensive discussion of the pathophysiology of the chosen
disease
ii. 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
e linked to the identified factors impacting the patient in the previous
section.
5. Nursing care plan for an acute exace
ation (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.
7. References
Scenarios:
1. A 30-year-old female of Vietnamese background, with a strong family history of
thyroid disease. Recently diagnosed with Graves' disease.
2. A 58-year-old female of Italian background with history of hypertension, type 2
diabetes mellitus, diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF).
3. A 69-year-old male of Australian background with a history of hypertension and is a
cu
ent smoker (30 years), diagnosed with aortic stenosis.
4. A 35-year-old female of Irish background with a family history of multiple sclerosis
(father). Newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Submission Via the LEO dropbox in the NRSG265 LEO site under the “Assessment” tile.
You will submit 2 parts:
1. The URL link for your website
2. The exported Word document which provides a time stamp of when you finished
your website and submitted your work. If a student is found to have edited their
website and work after the submission date, their website will be compared to the
uploaded Word version and marks will be deducted dependent on the significance
of the changes, which may result in an allocation of 0 marks.
