Assessment Task

This assessment task is broken up into three (3) integral and interrelated components:

PART A
1. Reflect and write about a situation that occurred within the ward setting while on clinical practicum.
2. Identify one (1) National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standard to which this clinical situation relates.

PART B
3. Produce a print media submission (poster) related to your chosen NSQHS standard and clinical situation and present your poster over four minutes in a zoom class to your fellow students

Reflect on a clinical situation
Reflective writing is your response to experiences, situations, events or new information and usually these are linked to some relevant literature on the subject. There is no right or wrong answer.

Reflection is unique and you are expected to use personal pronouns (I, me, us) to express your ideas.
We do reflective writing:

• to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of what occurred
• to react to written text or situation by agreeing or disagreeing and explaining why
• to make connections between what you know and what you are learning
• to examine how you learn and whether it is effective
• to reflect on successes and / or mistakes for your future career.
