WRITTEN ESSAY

application, you are being asked to write a paper that addresses all parts of the task
elow. Refer to the CRA for further guidance.
• Remembering that the nurse’s workplace can vary (eg. acute care ward, clinic,
community environment, factory/mine site), using high quality nursing focused
literature critically discuss the concept of advocacy in nursing for the Australian
egistered nurse from the position of advocating for a safe workplace. By providing
at least 2 examples, explain how a safe workplace enables the Australian
egistered nurse to provide safe patient centred care. (450 words)
• Drawing from the NMBA’s Decision-making Framework and high quality nursing
literature, critically discuss the registered nurse’s leadership role of delegation in
the Australian health care system. In your critical discussion, explain why this is an
important leadership role for the registered nurse, and how negative patient care
outcomes may occur as the result of the ineffective delegation of care. (450 words)

e written as an academic paper with reference to high quality literature. This video is a
