ASSESSMENT TASK 2: DESCRIPTION
We can learn a lot about effective communication by observing the communication of others. The aim of this assessment task is to evaluate an authentic communication interaction in a healthcare setting, and using theories of communication, formulate strategies and recommendations to improve communication processes and outcomes.
Before commencing this assessment task, you are required to review the video case study available (see transcript) . Then, select one (1) of the characters in the scenario (choosing from either the Clinical Nurse, wearing the white shirt or Registered Nurse, wearing the blue shirt) and analyse their communication.
Based on your analysis, discuss the ways in which your selected character’s communication impacted on the unfolding scenario. Then, outline key strategies that your chosen character could adopt should they find themselves in a similar scenario in the future. You are expected to substantiate your analysis and strategies with contemporary literature.
This paper should be presented as an academic essay, so no headings or dot points should be used. Third person must be used. One reference to support 100-150 words.

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
