Assessment name Assignment 1b – Presentation Assessment Brief task description Assignment 1b utilises the information that students investigated in Assignment 1a to present a synopsis of the professional responsibilities of the Registered Nurse and a discussion of relevant strategies to resolve the conflict arising. The synopsis is to be presented in a Voiceover power point presentation that includes a written set of presenter notes. Rationale for assessment task As the complexities of caring for a patient in our healthcare system increases there is a need to improve our own critical thinking processes, our capacity to work in complex organisations and in making decisions as part of an interdisciplinary team.

Case Study The newspaper article and excerpt from the Tribunal report provides the scenario for both assignment 1a and 1b. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) Tribunal Outcome in 2021 report Synopsis from the report On 17 July the nurse was at work and made comments to colleagues to the effect that she had helped the deceased to die, that she was proud of this, and that she believed in euthanasia, believed that it should be discussed, and more of it should occur. She referred to herself as the angel of death, and as Dr Kevorkian. When questioned about these statements by her employer, the respondent admitted that the morphine she had administered to the deceased was not a normal dose, because she was not going to let the deceased suffer, and said that she had acted in the best interests of the deceased. Following this, her employment was terminated on about 26 August 2014. Her registration as an enrolled nurse expired on 30 May 2015. At the hearing she said that she had not worked since, as a nurse or otherwise. The complete Tribunal report is included in the ‘Assessment Tab, Assignment 1a and 1b’ on study desk. |
