2. The social worker who is also a bilingual translator would be used to clarify the information discussed during the conference and doctor visits. Ms. W. would be able to communicate her instructions to the patient and get immediate feedback on how the patient feels regarding the instruction provided during the appointment.

Engaging in reflective practice will help to improve the quality of care you give and close the gap between theory and practice. How does reflective practise contribute to improving the quality of service provision? Reflective practice is imperative in order to ensure that high standards are kept continuously as circumstances, individuals and environment’s change. In order to reflect you must continuously be aware of approaches used and how they can be changed or developed to improve the level of care provided. Continually improving and adapting approaches benefits both service users and practitioners, ensuring that each individual needs are catered for.
This article main purpose is to provide evidence of the importance and application of standardized terminologies in the Nursing practice. A patient care scenario will be used to identify how NANDA, NOC, and NIC elements are applicable. Data, information, knowledge, and wisdom (DIKW) framework will be used to create the patient care scenario. Standardized Nursing terminologies are used by most of healthcare settings as part of Electronic Health Records, and represent nursing data, information, and knowledge that can be stored in the electronic systems to be used as a reference by health care professionals. Scenario A female is referred to home health services for skilled nursing evaluation, and observation.
Question 5: How do you facilitate patient-centered care in your practice? I will incorporate the information attained by utilizing the mission statement of the facility I work in to give me direction as to how I will treat my patients. I as a staff nurse can provide patient-centered care in my practice by participating in activities such as bedside reporting and utilizing the knowledge I have been taught by SBAR training and utilizing medication reconciliation to deliver concise, accurate communication between other interdisciplinary team members. These are several of the the tools I have at my disposal to focus on and deliver patient- centered care. Question 6: How is cost containment addressed
Fairman’s Work In “The Visit: Nurse Practitioners and the Negotiation of Practice”, Julie A. Fairman (2011) illustrates how nurse practitioners have negotiated over time, using various methods, to collaborate and make a place for themselves in primary health care settings. She frames her discussion in the space of “the visit”. The visit serves as the context of “provider-patient interaction” (p. 190). It is defined not only by the environment in which providers and patient interact, but also the external factors that influence such interaction. Fairman (2011) claims that she used the visit as the unit of analysis because it is known to be “flexible” and exemplifies “how nurses’ clinical practice changes over time and location” (p. 190).
Promoting Interdisciplinary Care As the nursing supervisor I would promote using a team approach to improve quality and continuity of care for patients. An interdisciplinary team would involve layering of medically trained professionals from various levels of education and talent. This diversity would allow every aspect of a clients’ needs to be adequately met. In this situation there is a potential group of similar patients (although we focus on one). The first step I would take would be to introduce each team member and educate each member on other their role and the role of others.
Her care is not directly with the patient, but her job effects the patient directly. As stated by the infection control nurse, she deals with preventing hospital acquired infections by making sure all staff members follow the policies. When giving direct patient care, the staff nurse states she does this by having open and clear communication, listening and exceeding patient expectations. Each nurse has different experiences with the roles of other nurses. For example, the staff nurse and administration nurse states that the CNS is aware of populations with Interviews NVT2 Task #2 3
This competency would assist the new NP in continued improvement in their practice. If the new NP is open about their new role and acknowledges that time will be necessary to move to the expert phase then that is an example of taking leadership and initiative in this crucial area. Susan O. Valentine states in her work titled Nursing Leadership and the New Nurse: “Leadership does not rest merely with administrators and high-level managers, but also can be developed and implemented at the bedside. Nursing has a responsibility to encourage and support new members of the profession, as they become competent clinicians.” This applies to all types of nurses when they assume new roles in the profession. We all have to start somewhere and it helps our confidence and practice if we are nurtured in our translation of new knowledge into practice.
Patients quite rightly expect to be well cared for by the NHS across all healthcare settings. Care should be high quality, focus on the patient and be safe. However, recent publicity has highlighted that in some cases these goals are not met. In addition, patients and carers may be anxious that the current financial pressures might affect the care they receive. The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement has been working with a wide range of NHS trusts to improve patient care.
Joel (2013) in his work notes that the Institute of medicine report necessitates that nurses must have abilities in leadership. While taking care of a patient, constantly problems come up and everyone is distinctive, and so is the answer to the problem. Nurses, doctors,
