Week 6: Writing Assignment – Writing Instructions

Assignment Instructions

Writing clear and concise instructions is crucial in healthcare environments to ensure consistency and safety in task execution. For this assignment, you’ll create a set of instructions for a healthcare-related task targeting nonspecialists, such as new nurses or family caregivers.

Your task

Create illustrations of your task by taking photographs or making simple drawings. Your instructions should be original, not copied from existing sources.

• Be created as a document and submitted as a .docx file
• Be 250 – 500 words
• Include 5-7 individual steps in your own, original writing
• Include 5-7 accompanying images, created yourself (photos or drawings)
• Utilize simple language, avoiding jargon or technical terms
• Utilize clear document design that makes effective use of headings, bullets, lists, body text, and image placement
• Include a relevant title, an introduction, and a conclusion
• Be a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx) only. Submissions in any other format, such as PDF, will not be accepted. Please ensure you use the correct file type before submitting.
