Outline

Overview

This unit of study introduces students to the concept of critical care nursing and the impact critical illness has on those close to the ill, injured or recovering person. Critical care nurses are often required to function in an environment that is high stress and to provide care for patients whose clinical instability is often life threatening. Whilst focusing on the adult patient who is critically unstable, this unit concentrates on efficient nursing assessment, diagnosis and nursing interventions required as well as the importance of an interdisciplinary approach for comprehensive care. Documentation and communication for safety are essential elements that will be a focus of this unit. Clinical application of theoretical content will include pathophysiology, pharmacology and management modalities. As the critical care environment contains many forms of technology that aid the care of these patient, this unit will explore the role of digital health technology in the continuous monitoring of critical care patients, recognising and responding to acute deterioration, and the importance of using assessment data to guide ongoing care planning.

For more information see guide to grades.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI)

You can use generative AI tools for open assessments. Restrictions on AI use apply to secure, supervised assessments used to confirm if students have met specific learning outcomes.

Refer to the assessment table above to see if AI is allowed, for assessments in this unit and check Canvas for full instructions on assessment tasks and AI use.

If you use AI, you must always acknowledge it. Misusing AI may lead to a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy.

Visit the Current Students website for more information on AI in assessments, including details on how to acknowledge its use.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

Late penalties are calculated as a percentage of the total available mark. For each day up to 10 days, 5% will be deducted. For assignments submitted more than 10 days late 100% will be deducted from the mark and the student will be awarded 0.

Academic integrity

The University expects students to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

Our website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. This includes advice on how to avoid common breaches of academic integrity. Ensure that you have completed the Academic Honesty Education Module (AHEM) which is mandatory for all commencing coursework students

Penalties for serious breaches can significantly impact your studies and your career after graduation. It is important that you speak with your unit coordinator if you need help with completing assessments.

Visit the Current Students website for more information on AI in assessments, including details on how to acknowledge its use.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Support for students

The Support for Students Policy reflects the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic journey and making the University safe for students. It is important that you read and understand this policy so that you are familiar with the range of support services available to you and understand how to engage with them.

The University uses email as its primary source of communication with students who need support under the Support for Students Policy. Make sure you check your University email regularly and respond to any communications received from the University.

Learning resources and detailed information about weekly assessment and learning activities can be accessed via Canvas. It is essential that you visit your unit of study Canvas site to ensure you are up to date with all of your tasks.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance BN [AS]

Students are expected to attend, engage and participate in all scheduled classes and required learning activities. Students must notify the school if they are, or will be, unable to attend a required learning activity; and apply for special consideration or special arrangements; or have an academic plan with relevant adjustments, where appropriate. Students must apply for Special Consideration for absence from any scheduled required learning activity which includes an assessment. For additional information, please review the policy here

Attendance and participation are monitored.

Students should attend and participate in all required learning activities in person, except for (a) pre-recorded lectures, which students may view in their own time; and (b) other sessions as specified by the unit coordinator. Students who fail to attend a required learning activity will be recorded as absent.
Students must attend/participate in any live/synchronous lectures, and view any recorded lectures, specified as compulsory per unit of study.
Any anticipated absences or late arrivals should be clearly communicated to your unit of study coordinator as soon as possible. Your email should clearly state your name and the day and time you will be absent and should be emailed via your university email address; your unit of study coordinator will advise you accordingly.

Students must attend/participate in minimum 90% of all tutorial classes scheduled per unit of study. At the discretion of the Unit of Study Coordinator, where relevant, an alternative (catch-up) learning activity may be approved and provided to students absent from tutorials due to unforeseen circumstances or with an approved planned absence. Any unexplained absences are a breach of professionalism, and a potential risk of not passing the unit of study. Not meeting attendance requirements could lead to an Absent Fail grade and referral to the School’s Student Professionalism Committee.

(i) maximum two tutorial absences permitted per unit of study where an approved alternative (catch-up) learning activity is completed.

(ii) where a student satisfactorily completes an approved alternative learning activity, this will be recorded.

Students must attend/participate in all practical classes (simulation labs and/or workshops) scheduled per unit of study.
At the discretion of the Unit of Study Coordinator, where relevant, an alternative (catch-up) learning activity may be approved and provided to students absent from practical classes due to unforeseen circumstances or with an approved planned absence: (i) maximum two practical class absences permitted per unit of study where an approved alternative (catch-up) learning activity is completed. (ii) where a student satisfactorily completes an approved alternative learning activity, this will be recorded.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Required readings

There are no specific prescribed readings for this unit that are not already listed in eReserve.

All readings for this unit can be accessed through the Library eReserve, available on Canvas.
