Clinical Practice in Nursing
Decisions can be conscious or unconscious, they can be trivial or life-altering, but nurses must make these vital choices every day. In this program, we explore the nursing process as a framework for decision making; from assessment and planning, to implementation and evaluation. We look in more detail at the eight steps of the judgment process, identify typical roles within a nursing unit and how they contribute to effective team decision making, and discuss internal and external barriers to good choices. This is essential viewing for nurses wanting to increase their confidence and effectiveness at decision making.

Nursing, like any job, has its inherent risks. But in nursing, more than other fields, risks present themselves on a daily basis, and the impact of these risks can have serious consequences. It is critically important then for nurses to be aware of the risks around them, and be well equipped to deal with them in the best way possible. This essential program provides a framework for management of risks; from identification and assessment, to potential solutions, and a risk management plan. It then examines common areas of risk for nursing professionals; from infection control and manual handling, to medication errors, IV therapy, and patient identification.

Like all health care professionals, nurses have many variables to consider when administering patient care, in order to deliver desirable and effective outcomes. This is equally true in community, hospitals, and aged care facilities. Care plans, clinical pathways and critical pathways are some of the tools available for the management of patient care, allowing for a systematic and holistic multi-disciplinary approach to patient care. This program explains these tools and provides insight into their implementation and evaluation. Additionally, the program presents some of the innovative technological developments and initiatives that are seeing advancements in patient care management.

Wound management is one of the cornerstones of good nursing care. Effective wound care extends far beyond the application of the wound dressing. Nurses and nursing assistants may be required to assess, plan, implement and evaluate wound care. In order to fulfil these roles, it's critical to have an understanding of the several basic procedures involved in wound care. In this program we examine skin anatomy, the classification of wounds, wound procedures, wound dressings, and documentation. Knowledge in each of these areas will allow nurses and nursing assistants to make well informed decisions about wound care and ultimately play an active part in promoting wound healing.

This resource, designed for Level 3 students, makes research methods accessible in a health context. The DVD is split into three bite-sized films which illustrate why researchers use particular methods and what the advantages and limitations of each method are. Questionnaire Surveys illustrates the use of questionnaire surveys in exploring the relationship between social background and health behavior; Using Interview Methods shows interviews being used to understand the role that smoking plays in the lives of the young working class; and Observational Research looks at the use of participant observation research to identify the potentially harmful, as well as beneficial, effects of gym culture.

Surf, sun, sport and the great outdoors. Australians have a great way of life, but our lifestyle can also cause many health problems which are known as lifestyle diseases. Diets high in fat and sugar, increasing amounts of time spent watching TV, playing computer games and poor food choices contribute to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, dental decay and anaemia. These diseases affect millions of Australians and in many cases are caused by poor habits and lifestyle choices. Students will gain an understanding of these diseases and the impact they are having on the health of Australia's population.

This program examines modern day epidemics, using three case studies from the late 20th and early 21st centuries - SARS, HIV-AIDS, and influenza.
Firstly, SARS took the world by surprise in early 2003, and was particularly prevalent in Hong Kong and the south of China. The program looks at the response by authorities in the area, and outlines how the Australian government handled fears.
Secondly, HIV-AIDS exists in epidemic proportions in southern Africa, and the program includes reports from ABC journalists from South Africa and Kenya.
The third epidemic, influenza has been around for more than a century and has claimed more human lives than any other disease. Experts predict that another epidemic could hit at any minute and the program explores how Australia is preparing itself.

While people in some countries struggle to reach minimal levels of nutrition, one of the biggest health problems in countries like Australia is that of over-consumption.
We consume too much energy as fat, alcohol and sugar and too much salt, yet even as we consume beyond our needs we're not eating enough complex carbohydrates and fibre.
It is these trends which are causing burgeoning rates of cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
In this program we look at the relationship between diet and disease, examining in detail the way foods both protect against and contribute to the most significant diseases of our age, the interaction with other health influences and the recent SIGNAL government health initiative that will shape our health for decades to come.

Infectious disease is still a major influence on the quality of life experienced by most of humanity.
We are all familiar with, to some extent, the effect they have on us. Just over fifty years ago, our hospitals were used for isolation of patients suffering from incurable infectious diseases. Fortunately, things have improved for us and we only occasionally experience such disease.
This is not the case in other less developed countries, where infectious diseases are still common. Although the twentieth century seemed to be the golden age for the treatment of infectious human disease, scientists are warning that the battle is certainly not over.

Across the world 1.3 billion people suffer from extreme poverty. They don't have enough to eat, they don't have proper shelter, they don't have safe drinking water and they don't have access to life saving medicines.
This program explores three aspects of development that can have a positive impact on the health and lives of people in developing countries. We look at how the provision of safe drinking water, the clearing of landmines and the introduction of micro-finance systems to create employment can help improve the quality of life for individuals and society.
