Dear student

The open book exam forms the first part of the assessment for NURS2097 Mental Health 2 and will equate to 20% of your overall assessment. It is an open book exam so you MUST read and reference every answer. No reference citation will be awarded 0 marks. Please make sure you have good in text APA style referencing as well as an end text reference list of all resources used.

Make sure you have a cover sheet with your name and address on this paper.

This assessment requires you to think about the lecture material and apply it to clinical practice. We have written it so that you do not have to be in the mental health area to answer the questions. You can view the Victorian Mental Health Act 1986 at this web address http://www.health.vic.gov.au/mentalhealth/mh-act/index.htm

and there are a number of resources that will be helpful for you on the Victorian Department of Human Services (Mental Health Branch) web page. Go to this address http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/home and choose “Divisions” and then “Mental Health and Drugs”

I am happy for you to work as groups for this assessment as we want you to think and discuss the questions. However you must hand in an individual assignment by the due date. Please be careful not to copy each others work.

Due date: Friday 26th April 2013

Best of luck with this paper. You will need to use referencing for all questions and be sure to have evidence to support what you are saying. Please do not have us return your paper with 0 marks awarded for a question and the comment “where did this information come from”. Please be sure to understand APA 6th edition and use it for your paper structure as well as reference in text citation and end text listing. Please use this word document as a template and answer your questions using the questions as headings.

Enjoy your clinical placement everyone
