Because through these certifications, they will obtain the right education to help patients with different necessities.
Introduction: When it comes to Australian hospitals, there are a variety of standards and laws that are put in place for Nurses and Midwives to follow. These are to ensure that things such as privacy, confidentiality and ethics are maintained, and to prevent harm and negligence. This essay will discuss these codes and standards, and how they were breached or upheld in the case study. As well as this , bioethical principles and patterns of knowing in nursing will be defined, and how they relate to the Nurse and patient in the case study will be discussed.
In “The Subjectivity of Values,” J.L Mackie argues for Error Theory. Error Theory is a version of moral skepticism. This version of moral skepticism denies the existence of right and wrong as “intrinsically normative entities on fundamental grounds as unsure about what kinds of things such entities would be, if they existed” (Mackie 1977). His ‘Central Argument’ article affirms two things: Objective values provide reason to motivate anyone aware, and the awareness of some objective reason would provide reason in such a way that everyone would be motivated (to some extent) to act in accordance with the value.
Marquis and Huston (2014) discuss how the mark of a good nursing leader is in the ability to inspire and motivate others to action; furthermore, no one leadership style is ideal and may vary according to the situation. The purpose of this paper is to match and explain the nursing leadership theory that is most applicable to solving communication issues, and to explain how legislation and health care policy can impact communication issues in the nursing. Nursing Leadership Theory Nursing leadership is complex and multifaceted and has been cited as a main reason nurses leave their current position (Blake, Leach, Robbins, Pike, & Needleman, 2013). Blake et al.
Introduction In this assignment, I will reflect on the changes that have occurred in nursing from the 19th -21st century. I will also be discussing why professional values are important in nursing, especially in my chosen field of adult nursing. In this assignment, I will also be explaining what person-centred care is and why it is crucial in the nursing profession. Additionally, I will also be explaining the different types of effective communication skills that are used in nursing to ensure all patients are being treated correctly. Knowledge of the 21st Century Nurse.
If we as nurses respect the confidentiality of a patient, we should do so for all the patients. However, Griffith (2007) argues that the duty of confidence should not be absolute and nurses should always consider sharing information if required. Though the principle of respecting patient autonomy and their right to confidentiality is broken here, the principle of beneficence and non-maleficence is uphold. Nurses have an obligation to protect patient’s confidentiality but the duty to warn an innocent party of imminent harm is far more critical. Therefore, breaking confidentiality here is potentially doing more good than
Part A As part of my studies of the Perspectives on nursing module I have been assigned to examine dignity as a value which underpins nursing practice. Dignity is a multi-faceted concept and can be defined as ‘’ The state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect’ (https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/dignity, 2015)’. Respect for the dignity of the person is the number one principle of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Midwives (NMBI, 2014). Also, this principle notably finds its origins in the Universal Declaration of human rights (United Nations, 1948) (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland, 2014).
Reflective Journal #2 Leadership Elisa Williams Bridging to University Nursing, Centennial College NUPD 735: Advance Communication & Leadership Eric MacMullin April 2, 2023 Introduction Nursing leadership is a process in which Registered Nurses (RNs) participate in critical thinking and advocacy to influence and empower others towards an advantageous change (Anders et al., 2021).

I met with D.B. on Tuesday, October 27, 2015. We met at her home and reviewed her care plan and discussed a recent doctor’s appointment she had with her doctor. At this appointment she discussed her chronic leg pain and received a diagnosis. We also reminiscence her life from the years 20 through 40. This reminiscence is submitted as a separate document with this summary and evaluation.
Nurses are considered professionally mindful and responsible for their practice and this carefully directs them towards keeping up the rights, respect, autonomy and privacy of their customers (An Board Altranais, 1994; ICN,
Forms of Communication You're arguing with a friend, coworker, or significant other and getting nowhere. The argument keeps going in circles with no end and no solution. Can you picture it? Have you been in a similar situation?
Nursing is a responsibility to provide the finest care regardless of the patient’s age, race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or their past. Nurses must keep up to date on education, new processes, policies and keep informed about new laws and regulations in healthcare, so outstanding healthcare can be administered. As a nurse, you have undertaken a responsibility to provide people the finest quality care that can possibly receive. It is a nurses’ duty to follow the code of ethics, to act
“Effective communication is one of the most vital components of healthcare” (Crouch et al. , 2013). It is through effective communication that nurses are able to discuss their client’s needs and provide all the necessary elements for increased healing both physically and mentally. Nurses are able to form a therapeutic relationships with their clients through various forms of communication and provide the best care needed for not only the client but for the family members of the client as well. One of the many ways to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with patients is to make the patient feel at ease with humour. Friendliness and laughter are important factors when forming trust between nurses and patient.
This assignment is a reflection of ethical dilemmas in nursing practice as a registered nurse; this paper is based on the group assignment which was completed for NURS3004. This reflection will include an explanation of the role that I portrayed in the group, the preparation that I did for the role, what could have been done differently, how this group assignment has impacted me in terms of working in a team and finally explain how this assignment will assist me in my future clinical practice as a newly registered nurse. The role that I played in the group was a patient who has a mental health disorder and I didn’t want his mother to know about the illness, as a front it seemed as though we had a close relationship. When my mother leaves the room I asked the nurse to keep my illness confidential as she does not really understand it.
They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
