Inquiry for Legal and Ethical Nursing Practice

ASSESSMENT - ARTEFACT (CONCEPT MAP)

Case study - Margot

In this individual assessment you will need to develop a one-A4-page concept map focusing on a given topic.

A concept map is a visual representation of knowledge, where you organize and structure information and the relationships between them. This should be done graphically using visual boxes to highlight differing concepts and arrows to show linkage through connecting navigation to lesser concepts. They have been described as:
"...are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge. They include concepts, usually enclosed in circle or boxes of some type, and relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting linking two concepts" (Novak & Canas, 2008, p1)1. Get expert-level assignment help in any subject.

This helps you to develop the structural nature of your knowledge on the subject being focused on, develop an understanding of the content and identify any errors of omission.

The concept map is designed in such a way that the content is covered under 3 aspects namely
Consent and legal aspects relevant to the Case study
Professional Practice applied to the Case study
Ethical Principles that are involved in the Case study
This assessment will help you to develop your plan for assessment 3, which is a Case Study

CONSENT AND LEGAL ASPECTS RELEVANT TO THE CASE STUDY
This is the first part of the assessment. Here students can picture out the various concepts of consent such as definition, types, elements of consent etc. Along with that choose only ONE legislation (Law), that can be even Case Law OR only ONE policy that is relevant to the case study. Students are free to make up their mind whether to select a law or a policy that is suited to the case study.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE APPLIED TO THE CASE STUDY
This is the second part of the assessment. In this session, the students are free to select only ONE professional framework out of the three listed, namely RN Standards by Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA], Code of conduct by NMBA and Element of the Code by International Council of Nurse [ICN]. From the selected ONE professional framework, Students are free to choose any ONE RN standard OR ONE domain with principle from the Code of Conduct OR ONE element of the Code and it should be directly applicable to the case study. For reference the three frameworks and their related content for assignment are listed below.

CONCEPT MAP INSTRUCTIONS

For this individual assessment you will need to develop a one-A4-page concept map (plus page(s) for your reference list) focused on a given topic.

The following steps should be followed when designing your concept map (remember to use the rubric to guide your work and review the case study before commencing):

Identify the key concepts and related definitions
Consider how these relate to professional practice
Include application to the given case study and potential solutions to the case study scenario
Insert citations to support your work (using APA 7th ed format)
Finalise your reference list using APA 7th Edition referencing (second page of your submission)

Points to remember.
The concept map should be visually appealing and designed with impact
Use design elements that enhance your concept map
AI is not to be used when developing your concept map
Be creative - use different text box shapes, different colours, and different fonts
Include links between the ideas
Concise language is required - do not include paragraphs of text
Use Australian English spelling
Ensure readability and clarity of understanding.
