Differentiate between ethical and legal issues in health care in consenting vulnerable patients cohorts Identify social and spiritual factors that influence the health professional values and beliefs in ethical decision making Apply ethical normative frameworks that a health professional may appeal to in defending their position, individually and collaboratively, on moral and ethical dilemmas encountered practice This will enable students to structure their essay more succinctly. With regards to thispermission to use headings in the essay, please note that the five questions that are part of the headings are not to be included in your overall word count. The wording for these questions is approx 100 words therefore students should aim for 2100 words in their word limit in using these questions in their essay ok. An introduction and conclusion to the essay is still required, as well as a final list of references which needs to be presented in APA citation format. The reference list below for this assessment is according to APA 6th edition. Do not present your references with the hyperlinks that are part of the reference list below - if you are going to cut and paste the references into your essay, make sure you remove the hyperlink. This can be done by right clicking over the link and selecting 'remove hyperlink'. As the essay word limit is 2000 words, consider evenly spreading your word limit over the five questions, making sure that you respond to each question in the same amount of depth. The introduction should be between 100-150 words and present a framework for your essay - so indicating to the reader what the main points are about to be discussed in the subsequent paragraphs or sections. The conclusion is usually approx 100-120 words and presents a summary of the key points in your essay paragraphs or section. In academic essay writing, there is usually no new information presented in the conclusion or further direct quotes. So students are expected to undertake self directed literature research as well, and incorporate at least two references for every 10% of academic weighting for the essay. So as this assessment task is 45% that would be a minimum of 9 references for this essay to be incorporated into the discussion. Anderson-Ford, D. (2009).
