Context: This essay addresses a health problem as a societal issue. It requires integration of the role of an Australian nurse with the building of healthy communities in order to highlight the reality that nursing practice environments reach beyond hospital settings and into the wider community.
Topic: Cancer Screening (specifically Breast Cancer)
Community within Australia: Women 30-40 years old with a paternal relative who has Breast Cancer.
The writer can change the age group of the community; however, it cannot fall into the 50-70 year old age range. This is because screening in Australia is readily available to women over the age of 40-50 years old.

Ideas need to flow from one paragraph to the next, comprising of an introduction or an introductory paragraph, body of essay and a conclusion. Introductory paragraph should introduce all the key points that you are going to discuss throughout the body of the essay and sequence it in the manner that it will be discussed.
Avoid standalone sentences within the essay, a paragraph should comprise of at least four sentences to allow for a key idea to be discussed adequately. To allow for a flow of ideas include linking sentences at the beginning and/or at the end of paragraphs.
The number of body paragraphs in the essay should directly relate to how many key ideas are going to be discussed.
Introduction is going to take about 10% of the word count, about 200 words, and the conclusion makes up about 5% so it should be about 100 words.
1700 words to work with, on average a paragraph is usually about 200 to 250 words.
Part A comprises of 20% of the essay body, and Part B comprises of 50% of the essay body.
Conclusion should succinctly summarise all the key points that have been discussed throughout the essay. Use a wide range of sources, for example a mix of journal articles, government sites and books and E books demonstrating the essay has reviewed different types of literature to inform what has been discussed.
Sources should be credible; the authors qualification is important to note and avoid using sources such as Wikipedia. Is the source relevant or not, think about the topic that is being written about, for example if you’re writing about how the nurse may assist with vaccination hesitancy, then sources shouldn’t be utilised that refer to the role of the physio in vaccination hesitancy in the hospital setting.
