Assessment activity Assessment method and location Assessment due date Description Outline of evidence to be gathered Competency based assessments Knowledge Questions This is a written assessment that needs to be completed by candidates as part of their self-paced learning. You are required to respond in your own words to 37 questions requiring a written response in relation to a range of knowledge questions related to, but not limited to: · Structure and functions of human body systems · Diseases and conditions affecting various body systems · Cells, tissues and organs · Human life processes · Variations from normal functioning · Role responsibilities and limitations for different members of the care team in relation to checking client health status. · Answers to all knowledge questions. · You are not required to submit an Assessment Tool cover sheet for the Knowledge Questions as you will log on to Moodle to complete this assessment. Simulation Based Assessment This assessment task/s involves the demonstration of various skills in the simulated nursing environment at the EQUALS You are required to demonstrate appropriate skills in a simulated nursing environment for various simulated clinical scenarios outlined in the assessment tool including: · Demonstration of various skills as per the tasks outlined in the Simulation Based Assessment Tool. · The observation checklist provided for the Page 5 of 60 Assessment task 1 – Knowledge questions Required resources · Computer with internet connection to access online resources. · Log in credentials to access the Moodle platform. · Textbook reference: · Gray, S., Ferris, L., White, L.E., Duncan, G., Baumle, W., 2019, Foundations of nursing: Enrolled Nurses, 2nd edition, Cengage, China. · Herily, B., 2018, The human body in health and illness, 6th edition, Elsevier, China. · Jarvis, C., (adapted by Forbes, H., Watt, E., 2016, Jarvis’s pocket companion for physical examination & health assessment Australia and New Zealand, 2nd edition, Elsevier, China · Website reference: · Study Read.

To authenticate the veracity of your work, the assessor will query you on the answers provided. · You must refer to various online and on-campus resources and provide an appropriate description for each question in a well-structured paragraph and in your own words, incorporating at least three specific points for each question (or each part of the question, if there are different aspects asked in the same question) if a specific number of points is not specified. Definitions of any terminology can be provided in a sentence. · You must analyse information on each question appropriately referring to various resources and synthesise an appropriate response. You must ensure your answer addresses all aspects of the question asked and must demonstrate an in-depth understanding of theoretical knowledge and concepts. · Any candidate not achieving a Satisfactory outcome for any question, will be allowed to repeat the question and resubmit the assessment tool through Moodle (second attempt). · If the assessment outcome is Not Yet Satisfactory after the second attempt, any further intervention strategies will be planned in accordance with EQUALS’ Assessment Policy. · You must use Harvard referencing style where required, e.g. when using direct quotes, although you are encouraged to keep these to a minimum. For more information, refer to EQUALS’ Style Guide available from the Student Centre in Moodle. · You must answer questions fully and accurately while keeping within the requirements of word limits.
