Details This assessment builds on Assessment 2, and focuses on the same cancer selected for that assessment.
You are to create an educational resource for registered nurses about this cancer. Imagine you are an experienced RN. You are tasked with developing a double-sided A4 handout for new nursing staff about this cancer. Your work area can be oncology, general wards, community, city or rural, ethnic or indigenous etc. Clearly state the circumstances of your work place, eg, Broken Hill Hospital, medical ward. Make the information in your resource relevant to your work place. From your extensive research into your chosen cancer, decide what information for new staff needs to be in the resource. Convey this information in a user-friendly format. The information needs to be appropriate for nursing staff. If you want you can use illustrations – just don’t overdo it.
