Assessment Title
Assessment 1 - Health Education/Promotion Resource
Purpose
This assessment enables you to showcase verbal and written communication skills and your understanding of the key issues for patients with chronic illness and disability. The assessment allows you to demonstrate an understanding of the complexities of multimorbidity for a person with a disability and chronic condition. This assessment will develop and expand on your ability to identify factors which inhibit independence and diminish quality of life. You will need to consider issues that inform behaviour and advocate for practical strategies to improve independence and quality of life.

Task
Develop a creative and visually appealing 10-minute narrated educational e-poster based on one of the provided case studies. The e-poster should be targeted towards consumers (not health professionals), much like a poster you would see in a hospital or general practice waiting room.
Your assessment should include:
- Your name, student number, and the case study you have chosen.
- The definition and pathophysiology of the chronic condition and disability and how the conditions intersect/relate to one another.
- An infographic created by you that provides some epidemiological statistics.
- The factors that impact quality of life for the case study and the impacts the chronic condition and disability have on quality of life, independence, and activities of living.
- An innovative and relevant strategy/action/behaviour 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/behaviour 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/behaviour change.
- A drawing/image of a health behaviour theory (e.g., health belief model, theory of planned behaviour) that incorporates considerations from the case study into the model. Indicate how you, as the RN, could apply the theory to encourage the case study to implement the innovative and relevant strategy/action/behaviour 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 service/support/group, its relevance, and why/how the service will assist the person.
- 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 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, supported by diagrams, figures, and imagery. Use your narration to expand on the information presented visually on your poster.
