TASK OVERVIEW
Task weighting - 30%
Due date - Friday September 9 at 12 noon (week 7)
DETAILS OF TASK 2A:
This assessment task requires you to summarise and evaluate the literature that gives information about the clinical question you have chosen (options provided on page 3). You will appraise THREE (3) peer-reviewed primary research articles and prepare an annotated bibliography. ONE (1) article will be provided to you on Moodle, and you must search for and choose TWO (2) other articles yourself.
Writing annotated bibliographies is very useful as it allows you to identify and evaluate the published literature in an open and transparent manner. It is therefore important to include the following elements in your annotated bibliography:
• A full citation of the source (using a referencing style APA, 7th)
• A general statement about the author’s purpose for writing the source
• A short summary of the content
• An evaluation of the content
• Reflection on the usefulness of the source for assessment task 2b.
WORD LIMIT
Total word limit = 600 words (+/- 10%) (200 words each article)
For this assessment task, the headings (article reference) are not included in the word limit.

• Your student ID and unit code e.g.: 12345678_NURBN1015, should be in the header; with page numbering in the footer e.g., page 1 of 10.
• Please include a word count at the end of each annotation.

Clinical question choice 1: Pressure injury prevention
Dario is a student nurse working in an aged care facility and is looking after Mr George Florentine an 82-year old man who suffered a stroke four months ago. He is not able to mobilise without assistance. It was handed over that Mr Florentine needs re-positioning every 2 hours. However, Dario’s buddy nurse says that is not necessary as he has a pressure relieving mattress.

Clinical question choice 2: Nutrition in wound healing
Amelia is a student nurse working in a residential facility caring for Iris Johnson a 92-year-old female with a ulcerative wound to her left lateral malleolus. The ulcer is 2cm in diameter and sloughy in appearance with minimal hemoserous exudate. Iris has been prescribed vitamin D and folic acid supplements to help with the healing process, however Amelia’s buddy nurse says that this is silly because nutrition has nothing to do with wound healing.
