Introduction (150ish)
The aim of this paper is to critically analyse a short video which demonstrates poor professional nursing practice. This paper will analyse the video in response to professional practice, identify and justify 10 parts of the video which exhibits both verbal and non-verbal misconduct. The paper will also discuss how these identified parts of misdemeanours will have a negative impact on the patient’s wellbeing and the overall professional standing of the nurse involved. Finally the paper will argue how the nurse’s attitude and behaviour can be changed such that the patient will be receiving both safe and adequate care.

It appeared at the start of the video that she began to take a blood pressure but then stopped when the patient mentioned feeling nauseous (Donovan, H, 2015). This is clearly a danger as the patient isn’t receiving the checks and care required (Street, R. L., Makoul, G., Arora, N. K. & Epstein, R. M.,
