Satisfactory
and procedures.
H.M.T. : Before any procedure, I need to understand the policies from the practice setting, nursing legislation and practice standard.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : Nurses should be accountable for their actions and respond in a timely manner. For example, after giving medication, I should
document right way because I might forget later and the nurse after me wouldn't be able to know if the patient didn't or did have the
medication on time.
1. 3 Determine how the three factor and practice decision-making frameworks influence client
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
care.
H.M.T. : For my understanding, based on the three factors: client, nurse, environment factors, we are new and less experience to provide
complex care; thus, patient's condition is mostly stable. However, some patient requires more attention, we are collaborated with nurses
for additional support in providing care.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : I learned from theory is that dementia patients often get confused and agitated easily, one of suggested way to communicate with
them is to face the patient, not shouting but using a firm voice with respect and giving them time to respond (Potter, Perry, Ross-Kerr,
Wood, Astle, Duggleby, 2014).
1. 5 Carry out safety-based practices and risk management principles to ensure client safety
and a safe environment.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : I am aware of safety practices when giving care for patients. For example, before leaving the patient's room, I have to make sure
that alarm bed is on, patient's side rails are up and bed is at low position as well as patients understand and are able to reach the call bell if
they need assistance.
1. 6 Ask questions and clarify the plan of care, unclear orders or directions, and whenever
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
uncertain.
H.M.T. : I agree that clarification is very important. For example, giving fleet enema as prescribed, if the order says that giving fleet enema
if no bowels movement more than 3 days. I need to clarify with the nurse, consult her opinion if we need to give fleet enema as scheduled
since the progress notes show patient got normal bowel movement yesterday. By doing it, I can avoid more harm to the patients because
every medication has adverse effects, including electrolyte imbalance if patients has too much loose stool and dehydrated.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
unsafe,
unacceptable and/or unprofessional behavior.
H.M.T. : If I believe that I need assistance from my colleague, I should not be hesitate to ask. For example, giving bed bath for my patient
who is considered heavy and needs two persons for assistance (according to his care plan), for this situation, I need to discuss with my
colleague to arrange her time and my time, so we can both work together for our patients within the time management required.
1. 8 Demonstrate understanding about the role of the nurse within health care.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : As a nurse, he/she needs to know their scope of practice, aware of the practice setting's policies, legislation and standard
guideline and practices so that they know what they can do and can't do.

disease pathology, the medication uses and other considerations.
2. 2 Document clearly, accurately, concisely in a timely manner using written and electronic
Satisfactory

methods.
H.M.T. : In Sunny Brook, we have a system which patient's care is scheduled at specific time and descriptive care is also provided for
electronic documenting. We need to follow that schedule and document accurately for our care so that everyone can participate and easily
follow up the care for specific patient.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : Specific nurse is in charge of specific patient as schedule. Before providing care, I should know which nurse is in charge of my
patient, so that I can report to her about his condition or look for additional advice during my care.

mechanical lift to move the patient to his wheelchair.
3. 6 Support the diversity of clients and the inter-professional health care team.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory

breathing and purse lip to help him slow down the breathing pattern and improve the lung capacity to exchange gas.
4. 1 Apply appropriate conflict resolution skills in therapeutic client and other interactions.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
H.M.T. : For example, patient refused to drink water instead of drinking cokes. I find that there is a conflict between client well-being and
client choice (College of Nurses of Ontario, 2009). As a student nurse, I should promote the best interest for her well-being by encouraging
her to drink water instead of coke since she has diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension, however, at the same time I need to respect her
choice of choosing the liquid to drink. In response to that, I don't stop her drinking coke but repetitively try to encourage her to drink,
saying the benefits of water and asking for additional advice from staff to motivate her drinking water.
4. 2 Evaluate and refine leadership skills to develop solutions and create a positive work
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
environment.
H.M.T. : If there is a time conflict, though we all agreed from beginning to help each other in providing care for both patients. After
providing bed bath for my colleague's patient, my colleague realized that she needs to feed her patient and was not able to work with me
for my patient's bed bath. I understand her time conflict and mine, I talked to my clinical teacher and asked for other colleague for
assistance. By doing that, we all can provide the safe care in timely manner.

increasing more fluid intake, if patient still refuses to drink. I have to respect the patient's choice decision (College of Nurse of Ontario,
2009); then report for the total intake so that the health care team can follow up with the patient's fluid intake and able to provide fluid
supplement such as hypodermoclysis if his fluid intake is less than requirement.
Satisfactory

have to ensure my commitment to my client, self, others and quality practice environment.

Satisfactory
Satisfactory
centred plans of
care.
H.M.T. : I believe that a good care plan is the plan which can meet the the client's specific needs. By doing that, we need to do a careful
assessment based on his conditions (able to provide part of his care, or total dependent on staff) and integrate his preference and his/her
belief and value into his care plan.
5. 2 Develop theory-based plans of care that are holistic and client centered and are
articulated competently in writing and orally.

addressing and resolving the conflict will definitely help to improve the patient's care and the atmosphere at work.

their concerns for example, the reason why they don't want to eat, or take medication. Explain to them about how the medication will help
them to relieve pain (for example). If they still don't want, I should consult with other experienced nurses about caring for this particular
patient, so that I can provide the best care for this patient.
6. 6 Interact with members of the health care team respecting their unique role and
Satisfactory
Satisfactory
competencies.
H.M.T. : When collaborating with my colleague for giving her patient's care, I take part as a supporter, even though I have taken care of her
patient before. The reason to step back as a supporter, instead of telling her what to do, is because I believe we can learn and respect each
other roles in caring for particular patient; especially, building trust and bonds among team members; but patient's safety is the most
concern.

integrate feedback into practice.

H.M.T. : Ongoing self reflection provides me an outline of areas for my strengths and improvement. Combining the advice and feedback
from teacher and colleague will help me to address the issue more clearly. For example, one of the advice my colleague give me is to work
more on calculation since she believe that accurate measures from calculation has big influence on client's condition such as IV
calculation or ordered and available dose. Taking her advice, I practiced more on several types of nursing calculation which I find
