Unit Learning Outcomes
(ULOS)
This assessment evaluates your achievement of the following Unit
Learning Outcomes:
- ULO1: Describe partnership models of care for nursing with
particular reference to working with vulnerable populations. - ULO2: Appraise the impact primary health care principles have on
health outcomes locally, nationally, and internationally. - ULO3: Develop communication and cultural safety skills that
contribute to impactful partnerships, particularly with vulnerable
populations and those living in areas of rural and remote
Australia.
GenAI Use Level Level 2. Purpose-Specific GenAI Use Permitted
Task Description
For this assessment, you will develop an individual, written Health Promotion Plan (up to 1200 words) for
a community, based on one of the case studies provided in the assessment brief Working from the
perspective of the Registered Nurse in the case study scenario, your project plan should demonstrate
your clinical knowledge of a health issue, reflect the principles of partnership, address principles of
primary healthcare and cultural safety, and reflect your knowledge of the sustainable development goals
and how they apply to the given scenario. It must communicate clearly and professionally for realworld
use.
Rationale
This assessment gives you the opportunity to apply principles of community health nursing (ULO1) to
develop a health promotion initiative that responds to real-world community needs. You will analyse how
primary healthcare principles influence health outcomes (ULO2) and apply evidence-based frameworks to
plan activities in partnership with communities (ULO3).
2 of 14
Through this task, you will build skills in critical thinking, professional judgement, and clear written
communication, while developing confidence to design effective interventions for diverse community
contexts. This work also prepares you for Assessment 2, where you will evaluate your project outcomes
and reflect on your role as a registered nurse in promoting community health.
Resources
You will need the following resources to complete this assessment. All files are available in the NURS2018
unit site (Blackboard) under Assessment Tasks & Submission. - Health Promotion Case Studies
- Health Promotion Plan Template
Tip: You should utilise the resources that are on Blackboard to help you prepare for this assessment. The
learning content for Modules 1-4 will provide contextual knowledge relevant to the requirements of this
assessment.
Instructions
Step 1: Select a Case Study - Select one of the four Health Promotion Case Studies provided.
- You will use the same case study for both Assessment 1 and Assessment 2, so please select one
you feel confident to work with across both tasks. Changing case studies between assessments is
not permitted. It is recommended that you select your case study early in the term so you can
plan your work across the 6-week block.
Step 2: Download the Health Plan Template - Download the Health Promotion Plan Template.
- Review the template carefully, it includes instructions and examples to guide your writing in each
section. Your plan must follow the structure provided in the Health Promotion Plan Template.
Step 3: Write the Health Plan
Write a professional Health Promotion Plan for the community in your selected case study. Structure
your plan using the headings provided in the Template. Your plan must address the following five key
areas: - Introduction to the community health issue (approx. 250 words). Explain the main health issue
affecting this community, and why it is a priority. - Principles of Partnership (approx. 225 words). Describe how you would work in partnership with
community members and stakeholders to support health and wellbeing. - Primary Health Care Principles (approx. 225 words). Explain how primary health care principles
would guide your actions and strategies. - Cultural Safety Principles (approx. 150 words). Show how you would provide culturally safe care
when developing and implementing your plan.
3 of 14 - Sustainable Development Goals (approx. 150 words). Identify which SDGs are relevant to your
plan and how your actions would contribute to achieving them.

- Use at least 8 recent, high-quality peer-reviewed or evidence-based scholarly sources.
- Unit modules must not be used as references.
- Your scholarly sources should be no older than 10 years, unless they are seminal works or key
documents that remain relevant. For example: - World Health Organisation (1978). Declaration of Alma-Ata on Primary Health Care •
World Health Organisation (1986). Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion). - Avoid websites unless they are official government documents (e.g., statistics) or specific unit
resources. These are in addition to your 8 scholarly sources. - Use APA 7th style for all in-text citations and your reference list. Refer to the for further
guidance. - Your reference list must be in alphabetical order and formatted correctly in APA 7th style.
- Only sources you have cited in your writing should appear in your reference list.
- Keep direct quotes to a minimum. Paraphrase in your own words to show your understanding.
- For help finding scholarly sources see: Deliverables & Submissions
- Submit your plan as a Word document (.doc or .docx) using the template provided.
- Upload your file to the Turnitin submission portal available in the Assessment Tasks &
Submission area of your NURS2018 Blackboard site. - fore do not count towards your number of references required for this assessment.
❌ You must not use GenAI tools to: - help you to write any part of this assessment. All answers in the must be students’ original work.

Case Study for Health Promotion Project number 1: Increase Breast Screening in Muslim Women living in Broadmeadows, Melbourne. Background:
Melbourne, Australia, hosts a diverse population, including a sizable Muslim community. You are a Primary Health Care nurse in Broadmeadows and have
been asked to develop a local Health Promotion Project to address the low rates of breast screening among Muslim women aged 50-74. The project needs
to acknowledge the importance of cultural and religious considerations, including modesty and privacy concerns, in shaping healthcare-seeking behaviours.
The health literacy level in the community is generally low. There is limited distribution of health information often due to language barriers, and cultural
nuances contribute to a lack of awareness about the importance of regular breast screening. The socio-economic status in the Broadmeadows community
is relatively low, with limited education levels, low-income earners, and challenges in accessing health resources. Many residents face economic hardships,
which impact their ability to prioritise preventive healthcare. Your Health Promotion Project will aim to implement ways to increase Breast Screening in
Muslim women living in the area through a culturally sensitive way and partnering with current health promotion organisations.
