Your paper convenor and lecturer, Lara Wall
The aim of this paper is to introduce students to the role of the nurse as a health professional and the knowledge used to inform practice from a cultural, ethical and legal perspective. The paper will focus strongly on the integration of health assessment, clinical reasoning, kawa whakaruruhau and decision-making within nursing practice. Students will engage with professional nursing practice situated within the health and social needs of the population. The paper will address the health needs of Māori and Pacific, through an equity lens. The lifespan and care continuum are reflected in the placement settings for acute care, primary and community and mental health
