Assessment Title:
A case study that critically explores the professional and personal influences on the role of the nurse.
Things to include:
Using your chosen case study of Annie or Kimberley to frame all elements of the discussion, critically explore the following:
How do legal and regulatory requirements influence care provision?
In what ways might a nurse’s personal values influence how professional values are put into place during care provision?
How and why are communication skills important in the development of therapeutic relationships with patients and in establishing effective relationships between the Interdisciplinary team?
What strategies would you recommend for nurses to manage the emotional demands of working in health and why?
Hints and Tips:
Make sure that you read each source carefully and that every source adds something useful to the discussion. The module reading list is a good place to start your reading, but you should read more widely beyond this, using academic and professional sources to broaden your understanding of the topic.
You do not have to discuss the elements above in the order suggested, but you do need to include all elements to meet the assignment brief.
This is not a reflective essay, please write in the 3rd person (i.e., avoiding use of first and second-person pronouns such as “I/me/my” or “you/your”).
Adhering to the assignment brief enables assessment of the module learning outcomes.
Completion of this assessment will address the following learning outcomes:
1
Debate how personal and professional values can impact on the provision of holistic care to patients and service users
2
Examine how effective communication can develop appropriate relationships with patients/service users and the interdisciplinary team
3
Critically analyse the roles and responsibilities of the nurse in adhering to legal, regulatory and governance requirements

Academic Integrity Guidance
Academic integrity is the attitude of approaching your academic work honestly, by completing your own original work, attributing, and acknowledging your sources when necessary. Understanding good academic practice in written and oral work is a key element of academic integrity. It is a positive aspect of joining an academic community, showing familiarity with, and acknowledging sources of evidence. The skills you require at higher education may differ from those learned elsewhere such as school or college.
You will be required to follow specific academic conventions which include acknowledging the work of others through appropriate referencing and citation as explicitly as possible. If you include ideas or quotations which have not been appropriately acknowledged, this may be seen as plagiarism which is a form of academic misconduct. If you require support around referencing, please contact the Faculty’s Academic Development Department or the University wide Centre for Academic Success.
It is important to recognise that seeking out learning around academic integrity will help reduce the risk of misconduct in your work. Skills such as paraphrasing, referencing and citation are integral to acting with integrity and you can develop and advance these key academic skills through the Faculty’s Academic Development Department.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
Whilst AI tools can be helpful in assisting learning, when it comes to assessment, the Academic Misconduct Procedure is clear that this should be a student’s own original work and not the work of other people or AI tools.
The Use of AI Tools – Student Guidelines follows the same guidelines your lecturers use. If you are unsure of whether AI is appropriate within your work, please read the guidelines or ask your lecturer. For advice and guidance around academic writing, please visit the Centre for Academic Success.
Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct is conduct which has or may have the effect of providing you with an unfair advantage by relying on dishonest means to gain advantage and which therefore compromises your academic integrity.
The Academic Misconduct Procedure sets out the process we will follow, and the penalties we may apply, in cases where we believe you may have compromised your academic integrity by committing academic misconduct.
The Academic Misconduct Procedure and information about academic support is available at:
https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Student-Affairs/Appeals-and-Resolutions/Academic-Misconduct-Procedure
Turnitin: Similarity checking
It is advisable to obtain a formative Turnitin scan before submitting your work to support you in identifying areas which may need altering. Please visit the University`s ‘Turnitin at BCU’ Moodle site.
Work that is submitted and scanned through this service is not stored on the main Turnitin system and this is not your submitted work.
Please note this does not provide a report regarding AI generated work.
