Learning Outcomes Assessed
1.    Analyse historical and contemporary factors that continue to influence the image, status and nature of nursing practice.

3.    Assess the four major bioethical principles and how they are applied in health care.

Aim
A nurse’s individual professional philosophy is a statement of core values, ethical principles, and ways of knowing that guide a person’s practice and underpin their commitment to the profession. The nurse’s philosophy is a living document containing current convictions that should be continuously revised and developed as a person critically reflects on their nursing practice. The aim of this assessment is for you to present a series of reflections discussing how your understanding of what it means to be a nurse has been influenced by what you have learned in this unit.

Throughout this unit, each week focusses on a specific topic related to the overall unit content. As you progress through the unit, you will take the time to reflect on the weekly content you have learned, writing the key points in the creation of a concept map. You will write a statement that captures your emerging personal professional philosophy of nursing and consider how this statement will guide your first year of learning and practice as a student nurse.

Instructions
Please follow the steps below to complete your assessment task:

Task 1: Concept Map (no word limit but the map should not exceed one A4 page with size 12 font in the graphics)

• Create a concept map illustrating your key learning of the weekly topics covered in weeks 1-5, 7, and 9. Students should aim to address at least one or two major concepts from each week. This would mean covering a minimum of 7 to 14 concepts in total.
  • In your concept map, clearly demonstrate how each element interconnects. For example, show how the McCormack model of person-centred care aligns with the four main bioethical principles: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Use linking phrases to explain these connections. Also, highlight relevant government bodies, policies, regulations, or frameworks supporting these principles. Your concept map should provide a comprehensive view of how these elements work together to inform and enhance nursing practice.
  • For each concept or topic you identify, you should address the following (refer to the marking rubric):
    • Criterion one: How the topic relates to the McCormack model of person-centred care by highlighting specific elements of the model that apply to the content.
    • Criterion two: How the topic aligns with the four main bioethical principles: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
    • Criterion three: Which specific government bodies, policies, regulations, or frameworks are related to the topic?

Task 2: Written Description (1,000 words)

• Provide a comprehensive written explanation of your concept map, detailing the relationships between each element illustrated in your concept map.
  • Criterion one: How the topic relates to the McCormack model of person-centred care. Highlight specific elements of the model that apply to the content.
  • Criterion two: How the topic aligns with the four main bioethical principles: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice
  • Criterion three: Which specific government bodies, policies, regulations, or frameworks are related to the topic?
  • Criterion four: Conclude your discussion with a statement about how this new knowledge is shaping your nursing philosophy.
