Assessment 1 – Case Study Review and Reflection (50%)
ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
End-of-life care is a core component of nursing practice that involves providing care and support to patients with lifelimiting conditions, as well as their families and caregivers. Using a holistic approach and comprehensive assessment
practices, nurses are required to deliver person- and family-centred care that is compassionate and ethical, promoting
dignity, comfort, and quality of life during the final phase of life. To effectively care for, support, and advocate for
patients and their families, nurses need competent clinical skills, accompanied by knowledge of ethical considerations
and cultural awareness.
This assessment requires you to discuss key end-of-life care concepts relevant to a selected case study and reflect on
your learning and developing professional practice.
Part A Case Study Review (30%) 1500 words +/- 10%
Select ONE of the provided scenarios, research the relevant End-of-Life (EoL) concepts, and then respond to all
questions below. Students use the questions as headings.
Ensure your responses analyse and discuss EoL concepts, principles, and nursing practice relevant to the chosen
case and are supported by at least 10 references from the past 10 years.
What are the two or three key EoL care issues presented in the case, and why are they significant for the
patient and their family?
How do these issues affect the patient’s physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs?
What clinical, psychosocial, cultural, ethical, and legal considerations are relevant to this selected case?
How can person- and family-centred care be applied in this case?
What is the nurse’s role in addressing these issues and providing compassionate and holistic care?
Part B: Reflection on Learning(20%) Equal to 500 words +/- 10%
In Part B, you will write 500 words OR record a 3-5-minute video presentation reflecting on your learning about EoL
care from your Part A Case Study Review.
Ensure you:
Use Gibbs’ reflective cycle to explore what you have learned about EoL care, linking it to the case study you
reviewed in Part A.
Discuss the impact of this learning on your understanding, attitudes, or approach to providing EoL care.
Discuss how this learning has grown your understanding of the nurse’s role in EoL care.
Identify areas for future professional growth in caring for patients and families at the End-of-Life.
The presentation must be no longer than 5 minutes in duration. It must be filmed in one take, with no edits or
snips within the recording.
Use of AI tools
AI tools may be used to support your learning (e.g., brainstorming, outlining, clarity or grammar checks). You
must not use AI tools to generate assignments that you submit as your own work. If you use AI, attach a
completed AI Use Declaration at the end of this assignment, documenting what you used, how it supported
your own work, with appropriate referencing.
