In many graduate nurse programs new graduates are required to complete a clinical project related to
change or innovation in clinical practice. That may mean reviewing and researching an area of clinical
practice in the ward that requires improvement, or an area where practice in the ward has been
delivered at an excellent level. The new graduate may present their completed project as an in-service
education session for ward colleagues or perhaps as a poster during the hospital Research Week.
Assessment Task
This assessment task is broken up into three (3) integral and interrelated components:
PART A

2. Identify one (1) National Safety and Quality Health Service Standard to which this clinical situation relates.
PART B
3. Produce a print media submissio related to your chosen NSQHS standard and clinical
situation; and present your poster over four minutes in a zoom class to your fellow students
