QSEN KSAS Competencies

I think you have a great capstone project idea Katrina. I didn’t realize there was such deviation in treatment either. When I researched the library I found a review by Flierl, Messina, Mitchell and Da (2015) that acknowledges the fact that orthopedic surgeons vary greatly in their treatment regimen in the prevention of DVT’s in post-operative patients (p. 253). Maybe the article will interest you Katrina as supportive literature on the subject.

There are many ways in which I encourage children to be able to develop their own sense of self. I help guide children in expressing their feelings. Sometimes a child gets frustrated while completing a task. This child then becomes agitated and temperamental, expressing their feelings inappropriately. I make it my duty to help them express their feelings in a suitable way. I lead them away from what is the trigger to the behavior. Then take them to a more calming location in the room, stay with them and talk them through the anger. I ask them what the problem is and ask them to point to what they are feeling on the feeling chart. I try to resolve the issue.

This mutually beneficial partnership helps health services and health care workers, place the per-son at the centre of their own care. It is simply treating patients as they want to be treated.

1. The service user and his/her care team including any advocates, make parallel around a common understanding of what is Important to the individual now and in the future.

The NMC (2008) also states that the nurse must recognise and respect the role of the patient/client as partners in their care and the contribution they can make to

To provide a developmentally appropriate learning environment that is safe, healthy, respectful and supportive of children and families. For the learning environment to be safe, I ensure that I always check identification, and have parents notify me whenever someone new to the list will be picking up. I always bring my roster with me to ensure I have all my children with me. I do a roll call every time we get to a new area after traveling anywhere away from our room, and before leaving the room. Another way that I make the learning environment safe is by covering all the outlets in the room, and making sure sharp or dangerous objects are put away, and out of the children’s reach. I put cleaning supplies and other chemicals in high locked cabinets.

“A framework through which NHS organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish” (NHS Executive, 1998).

Definition: Recognize the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on respect for patient’s preferences, values, and needs.

The nurse understands she has the knowledge of the disease process, and the patient has the knowledge of how the disease affects himself. The second phase of the relationship is the working phase, where the patient identifies who can help them with their health care problem. The nurse looks at the health care problem from the patient perspective and begins educating the patient on their health care problem, therefore the educated patient is better able to collaborate with the nurse to determine what interventions are necessary and acceptable to the patient to achieve a patient centered health related goal. The termination phase is the final phase of the theory, the nurse and the patient determine how the patient will maintain their progress and continue to work on the health care goals independently without the assistance of nursing. (Deane, & Fain, 2016).

30). This theory suggests that every person requires caring relationships with others and the nurse provides a caring relationship that is needed. The goal and expectation of this theory is restoring balance and health to a patient through interconnectedness with the nurse (Cherry & Jacob, 2014). The nurse creates a bond with the patient. Quality care is not just about clinical needs, compassionate communication and understanding at a deeper level is sometimes required. The nurse needs to understand the patient and their frame of mind to give holistic
