Welcome to this workbook for the Fundamentals of Behavioural Sciences module. This
document provides the framework for the summative assessment of your learning for the
module and allows you to demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes, as set out
below:
1. Explain the importance of early years and childhood experiences and their possible
impact on life choices, mental, physical and behavioural health and wellbeing.
2. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of cognitive, emotional and behavioural
development and apply this knowledge to nursing practices.
3. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of the conditions that promote mental health and
wellbeing, and recognise signs of mental and emotional distress.
4. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of the conditions that promote cognitive health and
wellbeing, and recognise signs of cognitive distress and impairment.

people’s behaviour can become agitated, aggressive or challenging.

These learning outcomes are linked directly with a number of the Nursing and Midwifery
Council’s standards of proficiency (NMC, 2018), Annexe A skills and Annexe B procedures,
as detailed fully in Appendix 1.
