Case Study: Addressing Selection Criteria

Addressing Selection Criteria 2
Introduction
This paper seeks to address in details how student nurse can transition into Registered
Nurse within the Australian Nursing. The transition process should be effortless once an
individual is able to integrate theoretical knowledge and work practice (Jones & Harper,
2014). The expectation is that, a new graduate should exhibit knowledge and competencies so
as to be absorbed in the competitive job market. Academic and skills qualification should match
the National Competency Standards for Registered Nurse as chartered by the Midwifery Board
Registration Standards.
Registered Nurse uses the Nursing Practice Decision Flow Chart and other existing
thinking plans in making key decisions; so as to ease and encourage patient safety and quality of
care (Perry, Potter, & Ostendorf, 2015). The paper adopts the STARR format so as to
effectively address the essential selection criteria.
Essential Selection Criterion1
Situation
Caring for an elderly patient in the hospital as a Nursing Intern to a community hospital
in Australia. The patient is at risk of multiple poor outcomes including but not limited to
prolonged length of stay, functional decline and readmissions (Arvold & Reardon, 2014). The
patient has refused to perform routine exercise, which was designed by the physical therapist to
help to improve the patient’s mobility and reduce falls. I am a member of the coordinated
multidisciplinary team that is providing treatment to this particular patient. Together with a
fellow Registered Nurse, we are taking care of this patient.
Task

Addressing Selection Criteria 3
It is of vital importance to secure the patient’s cooperation. Make the patient feel a sense
of purpose. This makes it easier to work together with the patient so as to achieve the common
goal; improving the patient’s condition. There is need to assist the patient to transform and
become better self-managers of their health care (Lum, Sudore, & Bekelman, 2015).
Organize my team to ensure we succeed in implementing the tailored health care to the patient.
Action
The standards of care embody the least acceptable level of practice that a registered nurse
must take into consideration so as to avoid being found negligent or guilty of malpractice. Nurses
should employ good judgment using their nursing education to the best of their ability at all
times (Halcomb, Stephens, Bryce, Foley, & Ashley, 2016). In search a scenario,
leadership and good decision traits come in handy. For me, I calmly and firmly reminded the
patient of importance of participating in this exercise, but this time round asking him to be the
team leader (Maurice-Szamburski, et al., 2015). I allowed him to play his favorite music; he
led us to do the body exercise by asking the team to through our hands in the air while clapping
to the rhythm of the music.
While the other nurses were talking to the patient in a tone of I know-it-all, I knew they
were not going to succeed in making the patient perform his routine exercise.it is very important
to think like an intelligent nurse but communicate in the language of the patient. When the
patients feel a sense of power or control then they own the caring process. Gradually but steadily
they change their behaviors and adopt healthy self-care habits. Critical thinking and analysis of
the nursing practices outlined the Midwifery Board Registration Standards, is an important
aspect that help to solve nursing problems (Östlund & Persson, 2014). It is indispensable
technique for a benign, well-organized and proficient nursing facilitation.
