Exact Week 11 Assignments (Most Recent Terms)
Week 11 typically includes two main graded items:

Lab Assignment: Ethical Concerns (100 points; counts toward Case Study Assignments or Lab Assignments category).
Final Exam (usually 100 points or weighted; comprehensive, timed, multiple-choice covering Weeks 1–11 content, especially advanced physical assessment techniques, diagnostic reasoning, special populations, and ethical considerations in assessment).

Due Date: Both are generally due by Day 7 of Week 11, 11:59 p.m. MT (1:59 a.m. ET the next day). All prior assignments (including the Head-to-Toe Video from Week 10) must be completed with passing scores to pass the course.
1. Lab Assignment: Ethical Concerns (The Ethics Behind Assessment)
This is a case study-based paper focused on ethical issues in health assessment (e.g., informed consent, cultural sensitivity, end-of-life decisions, confidentiality, or bias in assessment).
To Prepare

Review this week’s Learning Resources on ethical concerns in advanced health assessment.
Your instructor will assign (or post in Course Announcements) a specific case study involving an ethical dilemma during patient assessment. Common examples include:
A patient refusing a necessary exam due to cultural/religious beliefs.
End-of-life scenarios (e.g., a terminally ill patient with advanced cancer admitted with cardiac arrest).
Issues with consent, family involvement, or vulnerable populations.

Consider ethical principles (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice) and how they apply to physical assessment and diagnostic reasoning.

The Assignment
Write a 2–3 page paper (or as specified by your instructor/rubric) addressing the assigned case. Use the following as headings or structure your response around these elements:

Summarize the case and identify the primary ethical concern(s).
Discuss relevant ethical principles and how they apply.
Analyze potential conflicts (e.g., patient autonomy vs. provider duty).
Explain how you would approach the assessment while upholding ethics (including communication strategies, documentation, and consultation if needed).
Support your analysis with evidence-based literature (at least 3–5 current scholarly references, preferably within the last 5 years).
Conclude with recommendations for best practice in similar situations.

Use APA format. Submit via the Walden assignment link (often with Turnitin).
Note: The exact case study is provided by your instructor in the Course Announcements or assignment area — it varies by section. If you paste the full case text here, I can help you outline or structure the paper.
2. Final Exam – Week 11

This is an online, timed, proctored-style exam (typically 30–100 questions, 2-hour time limit).
Covers comprehensive content from the entire course: head-to-toe assessment techniques, special exams (HEENT, respiratory, cardiovascular, abdominal, musculoskeletal, neurological, breast/genitalia/rectal/prostate), diagnostic reasoning, cultural considerations, and ethics.
Format: Multiple-choice, select-all-that-apply, true/false.
You must achieve a passing score (check your syllabus/rubric; often part of the overall course requirements).
Instructions in the exam: “Please answer each question below and click Submit when you have completed the Exam.”
Once started, you usually cannot pause it. Prepare by reviewing Learning Resources, weekly notes, and prior exams (midterm was Week 6).

Optional/Additional Items (check your specific section):

Shadow Health (DCE) Mental Health or other practice modules (often optional in Week 11).
Any remaining incomplete DCE assignments from earlier weeks.

Tips for Success in Week 11

Check Course Announcements immediately for your specific ethical case study and any updates to due dates or rubrics.
Review all module Learning Resources on ethics (e.g., principles from nursing ethics texts or ANA guidelines applied to assessment).
For the Final Exam: Focus on high-yield topics like abnormal findings, screening tools, and when to refer. Use any provided review sheets or practice questions.
Ensure your Head-to-Toe Video (Week 10) and all other assignments are submitted and passed.

NURS 6512 Note: You must pass the comprehensive Head-to-Toe Physical Exam video (≥69.5% or as specified) and complete all required elements to pass the course.
