Context
This assessment introduces the concepts of primary healthcare and community nursing from a
personal viewpoint.
The task for assessment involves viewing a video interview and then responding to select questions
below. As a student, you are asked to reflect on attitudes, beliefs and values; and relate these to
ethics and professional behaviour as a future health professional. It will provide an opportunity for
you to explore issues of access, equity and social justice as they relate to health behaviour and
health care access for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ)
community.
Health professionals need to develop their capacity for empathy and understanding of the lived
experience of vulnerable population groups as well as pathways for treatment and possible barriers
to accessing these.
Instructions
A digital interview will be made available for this assessment. Interviews use real people
and their stories.
You will be required to view the interview.
Take note of how you feel and any thoughts or questions that come to mind when
watching the interview.
You will be required to respond to the interview topic by writing your opinion in a
response to the case scenario.
