Assessment Title : Health Education/Promotion Narrated PowerPoint
Weight : 50%
Assessment Rubric : Appendix A of the NRSG372 unit outline
Purpose : This assessment task will allow students to demonstrate an understanding of the complexities of multimorbidity for a person with a disability and chronic condition/s. This assessment task will develop and expand on students’ ability to identify factors which inhibit independence and diminish quality of life. Students will need to consider issues that inform behavior and advocate for practical strategies to assist the person.
Length : Narration length: 8 – 10 minutes (Narration only – no video of self required) Slide deck length: 8 slides

LEO Resource : A National Q&A Session will be held during week two (2) of the semester. The Q&A session will unpack the assessment task requirements. Students will have the opportunity to ask the National LIC any questions or clarifications they require. All students are recommended to attend this session. A recording of the National Q&A session will be made available for students. The link will be made available on the Assessments page of the LEO unit.

Task :
Students will develop an 8 – 10-minute narrated PowerPoint based on one (1) of the case studies provided. They will then choose ONE of the multimorbidity conditions affecting the person outlined in their selected case study. They will explore the factors that may impact on the independence and quality of life of this person due to this condition. Based on health behavior theory students will provide practical strategies and relevant support services to assist the person.
Appropriate evidence-based literature must be used to support the presentation.
Each presentation MUST follow this format:
1) Slide One: Title slide. State your name, student number, case study (Damian or Chelsea), their disability and chosen multimorbidity chronic condition.
2) Slide Two: Concisely summarise the case study, their disability and define the chosen multimorbidity chronic condition.
3) Slide Three: Briefly outline the pathophysiology of the disability AND the chosen multimorbidity chronic condition of the person in the case study and how this affects their independence and quality of life.
4) Slide Four: Identify a health behavior theory (such as, but not limited to: health belief model, theory of planned behaviour, transtheoretical model, health promotion model) that could be used as the basis for a practical strategy that the nurse could implement to assist the person with their independence. Concisely outline the theory, and how you, as the RN, would encourage behaviour change using this theory
5) Slide Five: Outline and justify one (1) innovative and practical strategy that can be implemented at home by the person in the case study to encourage independence and quality of life. Include why it is a relevant strategy for the person in the case study, and what the RN’s (your) role will be within this
strategy.

6) Slide Six: Outline and justify one (1) appropriate (real) service/support/group in your area that could assist the person in the case study. Include a brief description of the service, the relevance to the clinician, not the consumer (why you would recommend that it be used by a healthcare practitioner to refer a patient to), why this service will assist the person in the case study, and what the RN’s role will be within this service/support/group..
7) Slide Seven: Reference slide one
8) Slight Eight: Reference slide two (if required)
Instructions on how to record a slide show with narration and slide timings in PowerPoint are available on the LEO assessment tile.

Case Study 1
Damian is 20 years old and has Down syndrome. Damian lives with his mother in a two-bedroom unit. He only sees his father occasionally. Damian has been working at his local supermarket for the last two years where he stocks shelves, removes boxes, and cleans up spills. He also helps customers take their items to
their car if they require assistance. Damian was born with a congenital cardiac condition (atrioventricular septal defect) which he had repaired when he was a baby. He wears glasses due to being short sighted and also wears hearing aids. Damian has also just been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and hypothyroidism.
Case Study 2
Chelsea is 32 years old. She experienced a hypoxic brain injury following a non-fatal drowning at her local surf beach when she was aged 12. Chelsea lives in a supervised community home with five other people who also have a cognitive disability. Chelsea works part time in a local real estate office where she photocopies documents, completes filing, makes tea and coffee for customers and staff as well as performs general kitchen cleaning duties. Chelsea has ataxia and mild dysarthria as a result of her non-fatal drowning. The effects of these symptoms increase when she becomes tired or anxious. She is also prone to respiratory infections and at times becomes short of breath on exertion.
