Nightingale The individual receiving nursing care (Masters, 2011). “A dynamic and complex being” (Bolton, 2014, p.85).

LPNs are following organizational rules and regulations without utilizing nursing judgment. Likewise, assumptions about medication orders are made. This action disagrees with Berman et al. (2016) description of values basic to patient advocacy in which patients have the right to expect a nurse-client relationship that is based on shared respect, trust, collaboration in solving problems related to health and health care needs. As a profession, nurses are legally responsible for communicating…

Nurses are key pieces to the sometimes puzzling features of safety. At my workplace nurses go the extra mile to keep patients safe while under our care. Although policy of our hospital is to round on patients every hour, we have a designated staff member who rounds in between each hour throughout the day. We use three patient identifiers, which include name, birth date, and the last four of their account number. As with many to all hospitals there are plenty of protocols and policies to keep the…

referral has been made to the stoma care nurse specialist. A referral system for members of the multidisciplinary team in the neonatal unit facilitates early contact with the clinical nurse specialist (Porter, 2014). It allows them to provide the family with education, support and an ongoing plan of care. Various changes and developments involving stoma care in nursing have occurred in the United Kingdom through the years. Black (2016) highlighted that stoma care on its own used to be the most…

different side of nursing care involved compared to other departments. Throughout the shift I had a chance of assessing the patient and observe the family that was involved.
