Essay: With application to your chosen field of nursing practice, critically analyse one of the triggers you selected to respond to care needs of a character identified in the Enquiry-Based Learning activities.

Structure of the EMA

The word limit of this assignment is quite low and therefore you will need to be concise in your efforts to demonstrate the depth of analysis required at this academic level.

Do remember to do a short plan of your work before you start. This will assist you in being concise in your writing and help you to think carefully about what you write. You need to demonstrate your ability to analyse a situation and develop new insights.

Your plan should ensure that you have a coherent beginning that explains what you will be doing during the assignment, a middle that does what the question asks, and a conclusion or recommendations for your future practice. You will need to include references linked to the module materials and additional sources of evidence to support your work, and demonstrate your reading beyond the module materials.

You may find it easier to divide your word limit into three sections (introduction, main body and conclusions) so that you have adequate words allocated to ensure sufficient depth to your work, and to have a brief list of what you will cover in each section.

Do not submit your plan, it is merely there to help you organise your work and see a coherent thread to the development of your ideas throughout the assignment.

Ensure that you:

• identify the trigger and the corresponding character in the EBL activity
• identify your field of practice
• provide an analytical and critical discussion which identifies:
  • how you shaped the trigger and why
  • the information you sought out to inform your practice
  • and how you could use this learning as part of your development to inform your future practice.
  • Note: The marker will be looking to see that your discussion has depth and is successful at integrating different perspectives.
• include references to module materials and additional sources of evidence to support your discussion
• maintain confidentiality. Follow the guidance on confidentiality in the HWSC assessment guidance.
