In addition to the four (4) designated extracts you will need to paraphrase, summarise and reference in your essay, you must also paraphrase, MAKE SURE YOU summarise and reference two (2) relevant, reliable and current academic sources in your essay, one (1) of the additional sources must be a nursing journal article, and one (1) must be from a reputable nursing Website source or report (e.g. the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) codes and guidelines). You will write an appropriately structured Professional Communication Essay that includes the following: •Explain why it is important for the nurse to use effective verbal and non-verbal communication in the delivery of patient centred care. • Identify ways nurses use communication to provide culturally competent and effective education to promote patient health literacy and learning. • Discuss how the use of thoughtful practice in nursing can support effective communication in providing patient centred care. The two (2) additional sources may be accessed from any or all of the following: relevant electronic databases such as CINAHL and MEDLINE Important: To prepare and write the essay, you should ensure that it is: • Logically structured – you must organise the academic paragraphs in your essay following the format that comprises an introduction, a body and a conclusion. In the introductory paragraph, introduce which aspect you will discuss, and present your thesis statement which clarifies your position and outlines the main points for discussion. In the body paragraphs, you should not only develop your position, but you should also support your ideas with evidence (e.g. references to authorities in the field, explanations and / or examples). You should also ensure that your paragraphs are logically sequenced (as per the outline in the introduction), that they show clear paragraph structure – main idea is introduced in the topic sentence, then explained and elaborated on in supporting sentences, and that they establish clear links between ideas both within and between paragraphs. In the concluding paragraph, restate your thesis, summarise the main points that support this, and conclude with a final statement. • Accurately referenced – you must:  a) Acknowledge all the sources of information within the essay (in-text referencing) and in a Reference List at the end of your essay. b) Ensure you create a reference list not a bibliography. A bibliography contains all readings done in preparation for writing. However, only material that is cited in text in your essay will appear in the final reference list. References must be correctly and adequately given in the American Psychological Association (APA) (6th ed.) referencing style as per the University of Western Sydney (2011) American Psychological Association referencing style guide, which is available from the UWS Library website. • Appropriately expressed – you must write clearly using a formal academic style, and ensure grammatical accuracy. Your essay must be typed, double-spaced, at least 12 font Arial with 3 cm margins on each page.
