Knowledge:
Under the concept of Caring and Competency, I think MJ can improve the effectiveness of care and practice safely by using her mental assessment tool for older adults.
• Her assessment tools called Geriatric Depression Scale, Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and Mini-Mental State Examination are reliable resources.
• I think her researched materials are relevantly usable to the unit where we work together and she also researched thoroughly.
Things I feel might enhance your practice:
Technical skills:
MJ did her research thoroughly on assessing older adult’s mental health yet I noticed she was a bit hesitant to ask some questions such as “do you think it is wonderful to be alive?” which was one of the Geriatric Depression Scale
