LO1 – Identify the National Health Priority Areas (NHPA) and discuss their impact
on a person’s acute health status.
• LO5 - Determine the nursing role in each phase of the perioperative period
This assessment aims to demonstrate your ability to discuss a patient education
poster on an acute health condition relevant to a National Health Priority Area (NHPA)
and its impact on perioperative nursing care. You will examine the poster`s content by
answering five short-answer questions, supporting your discussion with peer-reviewed
literature and professional guidelines to illustrate how this health condition affects
nursing responsibilities across the perioperative period.
In this assessment use at least 10 contemporary references (7 years or less) to
support your discussion. You may also use seminal scholarly literature where relevant.
Suitable references include peer-reviewed journal articles as well as textbooks and
credible websites. When sourcing information, consider the 5 elements of a quality
reference: currency, authority, relevance, objectivity, and coverage. Grey literature
sourced from the internet must be from reputable websites such as from government,
university, or peak national bodies: for example, the Australian College of Nursing, the
Australian Association of Social Workers, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian
Institute of Health and Welfare. Note, that websites such as StatPearls, Life in the
Fastlane, and Wikipedia are not suitable for this assessment task. Lecture notes are not
primary sources of evidence and should not be used in this assessment. All resources,
other than web pages and grey literature, must be sources from the CQUniversity library
