Learning Outcomes
This assessment evaluates your achievement of the following Unit Learning Outcomes:

• ULO1: Discuss the aetiology and pathophysiology of health breakdown in a chosen body system.
• ULO2: Analyse clinical diagnostic and laboratory results to direct care for the patient in the chronic care setting.
• ULO3: Apply the principles of evidence-based nursing care to devise strategies and interventions to promote independence, wellbeing, and quality of life for individuals with chronic illness, and

  Assessment Rationale
  Infographics are an effective way of combining graphics and texts to help convey information
  and educate
  an intended audience in a concise manner. As a health care provider, patient education is a
  critical skill to
  promote independence, health, wellbeing, and self- management.
  This assessment aims to identify the concepts of a selected chronic condition. Students will
  develop an
  understanding of the impact of the chronic illness and disability on individuals and carers and
  describe
  strategies to promote wellness and independence.
  Being able to complete this assessment, students will be confident, competent, and pro-active
  practitioners equipped with qualities and skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and
  deliver
  culturally aware, evidence-based, and high-quality care.
