NR537 Week 5 Assignment Rubric Development -Assessment and Evaluation in Education. Rubric Development This paper will review rubric development for a learning activity. Rubrics are important for both students and educators. For students they provide a clear succinct outline of the requirements for an assignment, they set goals for the assignments, keep students on task, and help them to remain focused when completing an assignment (Stanley et al., 2020). For the educator, it provides a streamlined, organized, and consistent method for assessing the quality of an assignment and provides a standard for grading (Stoddard et al., 2016). In addition, according to Stanley et al. (2020) a rubric can also decrease stress for both the educator and the student, support increased communication between parties, and assist with meeting learning outcomes for the assignment. This paper will review an assigned learning activity, including a brief description of the activity and learning outcomes to be attained upon successful completion of the assignment. The content and format criteria for the learning activity will be identified, and the completed rubric for the assigned activity will be presented. Care Plan Development with the use of a Concept Map In this learning activity the newly hired nurse will develop a concept map for heart failure (HF) and utilize the concept map to develop a general care plan for a client with HF that can be utilized in a subacute rehabilitation setting. The purpose of this activity is to provide the nurse with an understanding of how different concepts or key problems can relate to each other and assist with critical thinking skills, use learned knowledge to assist with the development of a care plan for a HF patient. Development of a Concept Map and Heart Failure Care Plan This learning activity requires the nurse to create a comprehensive concept map for HF. The concept map needs to exhibit a clear representation of HF, encompassing its pathophysiology, causes, symptoms, diagnostics, treatments, and measures to prevent HF. By using a hierarchical structure, the nurse will organize the content and use lines or arrows to represent how the concepts are connected to one another, a particular category, and/or to the main concept of HR. The nurse will then use the completed concept map to develop a general nursing care plan for a patient with HF. Through successful completion of this assignment, the learner will: 1. Demonstrate critical thinking by organizing and drawing connection among concepts and ideas related to heart failure. 2. Apply learned knowledge to develop a plan of care for a patient diagnosed with heart failure.
