Assessment 2 is an essay based on a hypothetical clinical placement in an Indigenous Health Service, and the information and professional development activities required to provide culturally safe nursing care to the local community.
Prior to a clinical placement in an Indigenous health organisation it is important to undertake some research about the organisation and the population it delivers healthcare to. It is also important to identify the ways in which you as a nurse can build your professional development in providing culturally safe care, both prior to beginning a placement and during the placement.
The information relevant to this essay can be found through desk-top research, in other words the information is readily available on the internet. You should not contact the health service directly for information. Please ensure you correctly reference the sources of information you use to support your discussion.
