Title of the assessment:
Examine and discuss what is culture and identity and reflect on how your own identity, along with social and cultural factors, have influenced your own beliefs about and interactions with Aboriginal People and/or Torres Strait Islander People.
Overview:
The purpose of this task is for students to demonstrate understanding of what culture and identity is and how identity, along with social and cultural factors can influence beliefs and values.
Students need to also look inward and recognise their own culture and how their own values and beliefs influence the way they view the world and see other people.
To enable us to understand other cultures, we must first recognise that we all have our own culture.
A minimum of 6 academic references are required using APA 7th edition.
Word Count:
1200 words +/- 10% (excluding references)
References:
Research and evidence:
Your essay-style report should include analysis and synthesis of research.
You are required to reference a minimum of six (6) academic sources (e.g., textbooks,
Peer reviewed journal articles).
References are to be formatted in the American Psychological Association [APA] style 7th Edition.
Students are encouraged to resource articles and other literature and sources that are authored by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander People, and present these research findings, views, and perspectives from their lived experiences, where possible.
Research is constantly evolving; it can be updated or challenged. Therefore, it is important to keep our knowledge up to date.
**Resources should be no older than 7 years (unless Government Legislations/Acts or of historical significance).
We encourage students to read widely and use the most current research you can find. If you have a journal article that falls outside the 7-year limit, ask the following:
Have I searched for a more recent article? (Try searching the databases using key words from the title of the reference you have.)
Is there nothing more recent that could replace it?
Does it contain important information that is relevant and have historical significance to my essay? Can I justify using an older source within my essay?
An example of older resources that are acceptable:
o Hampton, R., Toombs, Maree, & ProQuest. (2013). Indigenous Australians and health: the wombat in the room. Oxford University Press.
Direct quotes should be avoided where possible in academic writing, however, if required, they must be limited to no more than twenty-five (25) words.

Assessment Task : Case Scenario
Word Count: 2000 words +/- 10%
Format: Report style, with introduction and conclusion. A cover sheet is not required. You will be required to submit this assignment through Turnitin.
Directions
For this assessment task, you are required to write a 2000 word report answering the questions from the scenario. Heading, subheading, in-text references and reference list will not be the part of the total word count. You will need to explore the pathophysiology, pharmacology and psychosocial aspects of the scenario and demonstrate your understanding in the answers you provide. Your answers should be informed by your reading of current research and literature.
A report format includes an introduction and conclusion, but headings and subheadings are used in the body of the text. Use the question you are answering as your heading. Do not use dot points (except medication table and difference between T1DM and T2 DM) for your answers. Do not write in the first person. Appropriately referenced and labelled tables, diagrams or images may be used in the body of the paper but will not be counted towards word count. You may produce a table (question 2.1 – medications) for your answers.
Use APA 7th referencing throughout your assignment. References must be current, preferably from the past five years. You are required to cite no less than 22 references, and the majority of these should be current peer reviewed journal articles. We are looking at information informing current clinical practice, and your choice of references must reflect this.
Consider the quality of the references you use. Wikipedia, Web MD, the Better Health Channel and blogging websites are not acceptable references. Any non-reliable sources in your reference list will not count toward the number of required references, and this will result in a loss of marks. At this point in your BN you are expected to engage with best practice literature. References that are not written in English are not acceptable to be used as references for this task.
Criteria for grading
Marks will be allocated for each section according to the rubric. Use the rubric as a guide when writing your assignment to identify the depth of the answer expected.

Sandra Bullock, 39 years of age is seeing a GP, where you work as practice nurse. Over the past 3 weeks, Sandra has noticed significant tiredness, palpitations, and tremor. She has also noted that she is always feeling hot, ‘even when others are feeling cold’. She has lost 5 kg in weight over the past 2 weeks without any effort or exercise. She has also noticed a swelling over the front of her neck. On direct questioning, Sandra has noticed her eyelids are ‘a bit puffy’ and friends have commented that she often looks like she is ‘staring’.
Sandra is a mother of 5 children and lives in suburban Melbourne. Sandra works as a Real-Estate Manager. She has been married to Frank, who is an electrician, for 28 years.
Sandra has been suffering from type 2 Diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis for the past two years. She takes metformin (APO-Metformin XR 1000 mg half a tablet daily) and glipizide (Minidiab 5 mg half a tablet daily) to control her diabetes and Ibuprofen (APO-Ibuprofen 400 mg one table daily) for joint pain. She does not get enough opportunity to exercise and depends on “takeaway” for her lunch and eating snacks and ice cream. She states that she often forgets and does not take her medication regularly. Sandra also smokes 5-6 cigarettes daily.
Her mother and older sister were both diagnosed with T2DM in their early 50’s. Her mother also has Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Sandra is quite “stressed” about her ongoing conditions and the recent development of other symptoms.
The examination findings of Sandra are as following –
BMI: 29 m2/kg
Blood Pressure: 140/90 mmHg
Pulse rate: 105 beats/min, irregular
Respiratory Rate: 22 breaths/minute
Temperature: 37.7ºC tympanic
SpO2: 97% on RA (Room Air)
A smooth, mildly enlarged thyroid gland with a bruit (increased blood flow in the thyroid gland), mild proptosis
eyelid retraction bilaterally
brisk reflexes, and a fine tremor.
Sandra’s blood tests reveal –
Full blood examination (FBE): haemoglobin: 125 g/L (reference range: 120–150 g/L)
White cell count: 11.5 X10^9/L (reference range: 4.0–10.0 X 10^9/L)
neutrophil: 8.0 X 10^9/L (reference range: 2.0–7.0 X 10^9/L)
lymphocytes: 0.8 X 10^9/L (reference range: 1.0–3.0 X 10^9/L)
Platelet: 250 X 10^9/L (reference range: 150–400 X 10^9/L)
Free T3 = 15 pmol/L (reference range 3.5 – 6.0 pmol/L)
Free T4 = 75 pmol/L (reference range 10 – 20 pmol/L
TSH = 0.02 (reference range 0.500 – 4.2 IU/L
TSH-Receptor antibody (TSH-RAB AB) = positive and significantly elevated.
Antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and antithyroglobulin = negative or low titre
Part 1 Questions
1.What underlying endocrine condition is indicated by Sandra’s blood test, as well as the signs and symptoms (clinical features) she is experiencing? Describe the pathophysiology of the condition. You need to explain the following aspects in this section and link them to Sandra:

Part 2 Questions
Further blood test results reveal that Sandra’s blood glucose level (BGL) is 12.9 mmol/L [3.9-6.1 mmol/L]; HbA1c: 9% [normal <6.5%].
Sandra’s GP referred her to an Endocrinologist. Her conditions, blood test results and medications were reviewed by the specialist. Sandra was advised to stop metformin and prescribed Tab
Sitagliptin (Januvia) 50 mg daily in addition to glipizide 5 mg (Minidiab) half a tablet daily. The Endocrinologist also added Tab Carbimazole 5 mg daily for managing her recently developed signs and symptoms, and the related Endocrinological condition.
2.1. Identify 4 risk factors potentially causing Sandra’s high BGL and HbA1c. Discuss how each risk factor affects BGLs and HbA1c.
2.2 Discuss the three medications Sandra is prescribed by the Endocrinologist. Include in your answer the action, complications, relevant side effects and relevant nursing considerations linked to Sandra’s situation.
2.3 Explain five complications that Sandra could experience if her blood glucose level (BGL) and HbA1c remain high.
2.4 Identify and briefly discuss four preventive measures Sandra could use to reduce her risk of developing complications related to T2DM.
