Presentation/Format:
You are required to use headings to structure your report. However, should include logically structured discussion sections. You may include a defined introduction paragraph. The Report will be presented as a formal academic paper and academic writing should be formatted according to following:

• Cover page – include student name, student ID, campus, campus coordinator name, total word count (not including reference list).
• The preferred layout of your paper should be 1.5/double spaced with block paragraphing (no indenting). Do not indent the first line of each paragraph.
• Page numbers are to be included on the bottom left corner of the page.
• 12-point font
• Any task that is under or over the allocated limits by 10% will attract a deduction from the final mark for the task.

In this assignment students are required to:
Choose one diverse population of your choice based on the populations outlined in the course content, that is: children, older person, men, women, minority groups, culturally and linguistically diverse persons, those with a physical or mental disability. You may narrow this down further to a sub
group for example: children aged between 11-16 yrs, older people living in residential care, pregnant women, men living in rural and remote Australia.

Then present a report discussing the key areas to follow. You will also propose a nursing plan that seeks to address one of the health outcomes you have discovered for this group.

Within your assignment you need to use the headings provided and discuss:
• WHY your chosen population is considered diverse and include:
o Social determinants of health and how they impact this population;
o Health inequalities (the differences in health status between population groups) such as differences in wellbeing, risk of disease, abuse/violence,

healthy life expectancy, morbidity and mortality;
o Health inequities (differences in health status between population groups that

are socially produced, systematic in their unequal distribution across the population, avoidable and unfair) such as difference in access, affordability, income etc;

o Health outcomes – Discuss key health issues impacting this population ie certain disease, mental health issues, injuries etc

• Discuss the nursing care considerations that would be important in caring for an individual of this population. Your discussion should highlight and link to three Registered Nurse Standards such as:

Referencing should be included using APA 7th Edition guidelines. Review the Fed Cite Resource page. It is expected that the students use a minimum of 15-20 peer reviewed sources for referencing. These should be no more than 7 years old unless of historical significance and/or of specific relevance to the topic (for example; the Ottawa Charter from 1986). These references must be a mixture of books and journals or Library database sources. Dictionaries or Wikipedia are not considered a primary reference and therefore will not be counted in the reference count. Direct quotes, appendices or the reference list, are not counted in the word limit. Direct quotes must be limited to no more than 50 words and be according to APA 7th Edition style.
