PREPARING THE ASSIGNMENT:

• Log into “My ATI Account”
• Click Test for “Nurses Touch: Wellness and Self-Care Practice Assessment”
• Complete the Practice Assessment.
• Submit your Individual Performance Profile to Unit 7 in CANVAS

DIRECTION and ASSIGNMENT CRITERIA:

Actual points earned will be based on the percentage earned on the FIRST attempt multiplied by the total points possible.

• Example: If you get 80% of the questions correct, you will earn 80 points (80% x 100 = 80 points)
• You are allowed to re-take ONLY ONE more time as you wish: 24-Hour Lock-Out between attempts
• Additional percentage score based on SECOND attempt:
  • Score between 90-100%: Add an additional 5% to the first score
  • Score between 79-89%: Add an additional 3% to the first score
  • Score less than 79%: NO additional percentage to the first score
  • For example, if you scored 85% on first attempt and received 92% on second attempt, your total

percentage will be 90% (85 % + additional 5% = 90% and 100 x 90% = 90 points)

• Total score with additional points cannot be greater than 100%
• If you scored less than 79% on the FIRST attempt:
  • You must submit a 150 word reflection on THREE clinical points that can be used in nursing practice. The focus should be based on areas of weakness from the individual performance profile

after completing the Practice Assessment (No points given on additional attempts if paper is NOT completed and submitted BEFORE second attempt).
