Task Develop a creative and visually appealing 10-minute na

• The definition and pathophysiology of the chronic condition and disability and
how the conditions intersect

chronic condition and disability have on quality of life, independence, and
activities of living.
• An innovative and relevant strategy/action
ehaviour change that the person in
the case study themselves can implement at home to support their
independence and quality of life. Outline the relevance of the identified
strategy/action
ehaviour change for the person in the case study, and what
your (the RNs) role will be in assisting the person to be able to independently
complete/achieve the strategy/action
ehaviour change.
• A drawing/image of a health behaviour theory (for example, the health belief
model, theory of planned behaviour etc.) that incorporates considerations from
the case study into the model (e.g. think of the case studies age/stage of life,

their conditions and associated risk factors/symptoms). Indicate how you, as the
RN, could apply the theory to encourage the case study to implement the
innovative and relevant strategy/action
ehaviour change you have identified.
• An appropriate and real service/support/group in your local area that could
assist the person in the case study to improve their independence and quality of
life. Include a description of the real service/support/group in your local area, its
elevance and why/how the service will assist the person in the case study.
• The role of the NDIS in the case study’s ongoing care needs and how you, as
an RN, can promote one of the seven elements of the NDIS Code of Conduct
when supporting the person in the case study in the management of their
conditions.
• Intext referencing must be included on the e-poster.
• A reference list must be included on the e-poster.
The poster should be visually appealing, with the key points included on the poster,
supported by diagrams, figures and imagery. Use your na
