The safety of our patients is our number one priority when giving medical care. However, the core concept of theory help us guide our knowledge which adapt and applied to clinical setting. Theory is a fundamental factor of nursing practice, education, research and outcomes. Core concept that Is Common These theories develop by many theorist that serve as guide in nursing. The core concept of nursing is the diversity in healthcare settings dealt with the disparity between theorist of Florence Nothingale and Jean Watson.
In my report I would like to compare and explain information between Nursing and Social Workers. Information below, will give answer if this two profession are very different from each other or do they have this same priority. 1. PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND REGISTRATION If we want to be qualified Nurse, we must be register with Nursing and Midwifery Council. NMC establish set of standards of education and training, so that nurses deliver high quality healthcare.
of medicines’ prescribed for the people they care for. 3. National minimum standards for care homes include that the care provider: • supports people who wish to and are capable of self-administering their medicines to do so safely. • provides care workers with a robust procedure to administer medicines to those people who rely on them for this aspect of care. 4.
According to “Code of Ethics” (2007), the second provision states, “The nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual, family, group, or community” (ANA, 2001, p. 18). Therefore, as nurses we are obligated to tell the court what we had observed, when we had observed it and to whom we reported the incident to. References Chmielewski, C., (2004).

Following nursing theory and nursing research side by side is a must for patient care and nursing practice. Nurse Practice Act ascertains the protection of the public from harm. What is the Scope of Practice for Nursing? The Nursing Practice Act (NPA) sets out the scope of practice and responsibilities for RNs and formulates the rules and regulations which specify the implementation of the law. Certain formal training is required for licensure which is checked by the Nursing practice act.
Desired outcomes must be patient-centered and measurable within an identified timeframe. • For each outcome, state two nursing interventions using NIC criteria as well as one evaluation method. Interventions and the evaluation method must be appropriate to the desired outcomes. • Provide rationale for each nursing diagnosis, and explain how PES, NANDA, NOC, and NIC apply to each diagnosis. Use a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources, and create an APA formatted reference page.
Furthermore, one priority tool will be selected and then applied to the case scenario outlining the nursing interventions required. Positive and negatives aspects of the selected priority tool will be discussed followed by a conclusion summarising the key points of the assignments. Nursing process is an organised problem-solving framework for nursing practice that promotes clinical thinking process enabling nurses to provide individualised care to patients (Hogston, 2011 p3). The NMC (2010) states that nurses should possess the skills to deliver holistic person centred and systematic assessment of physical, emotional, psychological, cultural and spiritual needs, including risk and develops a comprehensive individualised plan of nursing care. The five phase nursing process is a cyclical process which allows nurses to recognise the patient’s nursing diagnosis in order to plot appropriate care.
Elements of Caring According to Watson’s theory of caring there are three different elements that a nurse must recognize to provide such care. The first is carative factors; this takes into account that the nurse must be self-aware of her own judgment and emotional barriers to connect intimately, and at the same time preserving the patient’s dignity in a professional manner. The second element is the transpersonal caring relationship (Lachman 2012); it reviews the conscious and moral commitment to make a longstanding connection with the patient. The final element is the caring occasion or moment, this involves knowing and being able to recognize the right time, right place and the right situation in which caring can take place. Case of Caring Lachman (2012) describes a scenario in which a nurse proves competent in being a patient advocate and providing a level of care exclusively for this individual.
The symptom is usually what brings the patient to seek out health care (Humphreys et al., 2008) and adherence to treatment by the patient is crucial. The nurse who provides a biopsychosocial view of the symptoms to help the patient better deal with their symptoms is imperative to this adherence. The Theory provides many target areas for research and furthers our knowledge of the development of symptom management. To provide a greater understanding
Reflective Journal Albert Johann Jacildo February 19, 2015 Critical Thinking for Nurses Ethics is an integral part of the foundation of nursing. According to the CNO, “Understanding and communicating beliefs and values helps nurses to prevent ethical conflicts and to work through them when they do occur”. My thoughts and ideas about nursing ethics has changed, as I gain more experience, it gives me a clearer view of the importance of having a professional code of ethics. Having a code of ethics makes explicit of my primary goals, values, and obligations of my profession. It is really imperative that I must consider the ethical aspects when formulating planning outcomes and goals for each of my clients.
