ASSESSMENT INFORMATION Assessment Title Assessment Task 1 – Project Purpose This project will engage students with the application of theory to practice and is designed to facilitate an understanding of the impact of illness on the patient. This mode of assessment aims to broaden students’ communication strategies, which is a necessary skill in nursing and will enable the student to become a safe and effective nurse. The assessment has 3 goals: 1. It will allow students to demonstrate a good understanding of the disease processes, both in the chronic and acute exacerbation phase and how these impact on the patient; 2. It will encourage students to plan the care of an acutely unwell patient; 3. It will enhance the students’ skills in digital health and literacy Due Date Wednesday 13th September 2023 Time Due 14:00 Weighting 50% Length Equivalent to 2000 words +/- 10% Assessment Rubric Appendix 1 of the NRSG265 unit outline LEO Resource A national zoom session will be held in week three (3), which will provide students with an overview of the assessment as well as resources and advice on how to approach the task. Students are encouraged to post questions on the discussion forum on LEO and to check for answers there as a first point of query.

Submission Via the LEO dropbox in the NRSG265 LEO site under the “Assessment” tile. You will submit 2 parts: 1. The URL link for your website 2. The exported Word document which provides a time stamp of when you finished your website and submitted your work. If a student is found to have edited their website and work after the submission date, their website will be compared to the uploaded Word version and marks will be deducted dependent on the significance of the changes, which may result in an allocation of 0 marks. NRSG265: Principles of Nursing - Medical NRSG265_ Assessment 1: Project © Australian Catholic University 2023 _ Page 3 of 3 FORMATTING File format The assessment will be completed using the program Microsoft Sway. You will also use the infographic template for your nursing care plan. There is no need to include an introduction or conclusion. Each answer must be cited and supported by a wide range of relevant and credible resources where indicated in the marking rubric. REFRENCING Referencing Style APA 7th edition Minimum References A minimum of 15 high quality resources are to be used. All arguments must be supported using a variety of high-quality primary evidence. Avoid using any one source repetitively. Age of References Published in the last 5 years unless using seminal text.

Introduction
	Millions of lives are affected annually by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which continue to be a worldwide health problem. Aortic stenosis, a valvular heart condition defined by the narrowing of the aortic valve, is one of them and poses a serious risk to people's health and wellbeing, especially the elderly. The patient, a 69-year-old Australian male with a history of hypertension and a protracted 30-year smoking habit, will be the focus of a thorough analysis of the effects of aortic stenosis in the sections that follow. This study seeks to present a comprehensive overview of the selected disease, its epidemiological setting in Australia, its pathophysiology, pharmaceutical therapy, the impact it has on the patient, long-term management methods, and a nursing care plan for acute exacerbation.
Rationale for Choosing Aortic Stenosis
	Several convincing reasons led to the decision to make aortic stenosis the focus of this paper –
· Aortic stenosis is not only among the most prevalent valvular heart illnesses, but it is also among the most clinically important. Due to the fact that it is more prevalent as people get older, they are more at risk, including the patient in question (Pawade et al., 2019).
· Epidemiological Relevance: By examining aortic stenosis in the context of Australia, we can understand how it affects the country's healthcare system and develop specialized treatment plans.
· Regarding the Patient: The patient is at a high risk of developing aortic stenosis due to his age, history of hypertension, and use of tobacco. Therefore, it is vital that he comprehend the effects of this sickness on him.
	This report aims to provide light on the complex nature of aortic stenosis, including its pathophysiological causes, pharmacological treatment options, and the provision of patient-centered care. By doing so, it aims to improve theoretical understanding of the condition as well as close the knowledge gap between theory and practice, giving medical practitioners the resources they need to offer patients with aortic stenosis with comprehensive care. The epidemiological information regarding aortic stenosis in Australia, the pathophysiology of the condition, commonly used pharmacological interventions, its effects on our patient, long-term management strategies, and a nursing care plan for dealing with acute exacerbations will all be covered in the sections that follow. With the help of this thorough study, we hope to enlighten healthcare professionals and offer helpful suggestions to ensure that patients dealing with aortic stenosis receive the best possible care in the Australian healthcare system.
Justification and Epidemiology
Chosen Disease: Aortic Stenosis
	The narrowing of the aortic valve, which prevents blood from leaving the left ventricle and flowing into the aorta, is the hallmark of the valvular heart disease known as aortic stenosis. Several criteria support the decision to focus on aortic stenosis in this research.
Prevalence and Clinical Significance
	One of the most common valvular heart illnesses, especially in elderly people, is aortic stenosis (Kronenberg et al., 2022). Its propensity to induce life-threatening complications and crippling symptoms gives it clinical relevance, making the area of cardiology extremely concerned about it.
Relevance to the Patient
	The patient in question is a 69-year-old guy who has a 30-year smoking habit and a history of hypertension. These variables greatly increase the likelihood that he may get aortic stenosis. It is essential to comprehend how this condition has affected him in order to provide him with individualized and efficient treatment.
Epidemiological Data within the Australian Context
Prevalence
	The frequency of aortic stenosis rises with age and is largely a disease of the elderly (Ternacle et al., 2019). The aging population in Australia, like in many affluent nations, is a factor in the condition's increasing burden. Aortic stenosis affected around 2% of those 45 and older in 2017–2018, with a greater frequency in persons 65 and older, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2019). These findings highlight how crucial it is to treat aortic stenosis in the context of an aging Australian population.
Mortality
	High death rates are associated with untreated or severe aortic stenosis, particularly when it reaches symptomatic stages. Due to problems such aortic valve rupture or ventricular arrhythmias, it may occasionally result in sudden death. To lower death rates, early diagnosis and management are essential.
Impact on Healthcare System
	The Australian healthcare system is significantly burdened by aortic stenosis (Fairbairn et al., 2022). The condition calls for frequent medical evaluations, diagnostic procedures, and frequently invasive surgical procedures such aortic valve replacement. Additionally, the cost of care is increased by the management of complications, notably heart failure.
