Relevance and Importance of AHPRA Registered Nurse Standards

Running head: NURSING ASSIGNMENT 1
The relevance and importance of the two AHPRA Registered Nurse standards they choose
reflecting on experiences from your undergraduate nursing clinical practice experiences
and your imminent role registered nurse.
Introduction.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) regulates Australia’s
registered nurses, students along with midwives to protect the public as part of the national
registration and accreditation scheme (In text citation). The selected standards are standard 2.
Engages in therapeutic and professional relationships along with standard 6. Provide safe,
appropriate and responsive quality nursing practice. These standards are important to registered
nurses because they help them in delivering the best quality of care along with interacting with
patients to obtain more information from them so that the objectives of a health facility which is
safety to patients can be accomplished (Cashin et al., 2015).
Standard 6: Provide safe, appropriate and responsive quality nursing practice.
Registered nurses provide safe, appropriate and responsive quality nursing practice and
are accountable to the public, clients, and professionals. With the help of technology they
appropriately and responsibly improve their nursing practice. It has been possible through
wireless monitoring of patient by integrating sensors and chips into the mattress pads, blankets,
and beds to survey and that should reported to measure the movement, blood pressure, and
weight. Also, Registered Nurses wear or carry technology that scans a barcode which sends
essential patient medical history and information (Boonen, Rankin, Vosman & Niemeijer, 2018).

NURSING ASSIGNMENT 2
To provide the efficient and effective care, they coordinate, distribute and utilize resources that
are within their control. Their role encompasses showing characters that uphold the trust of the
public in the profession along with exercising reasonable judgment and seeking help
appropriately (Endacott et al., 2018). Furthermore, the Registered Nurses intervene,
acknowledge and report near misses, and make sure there is no harm incident in their working
environments that can put the safety of clients at risk.
The relevance of this standard is that it provides comprehensive safe and quality practice
to attain the purposed objectives and outcome that are responsive to the individual’s nursing
requirements. Healthcare firms monitor the experiences of patients so that they can assess and
develop the care quality (West, Eckert, Steward & Pasmore, 2014). My experience in my
practice was challenging since I was expected to offer the best by identifying the factors within
the working environment that are of influence. Furthermore, the role of a Registered Nurse is to
prevent illnesses and promote health. I assumed the responsibility of ambassadors of wellness
and believed that Registered Nurses play a vital role in caring for the well as well as for the sick.
The standard utilizes measures that can reduce the client's distress and assist them in identifying
strategies to cope with any changes in the health status (Andersson, Frank, Willman, Sandman &
Hansebo, 2015). The registered nurses practice within their range of exercise and also by
important nursing along with health standards, guidelines, legislation, and regulations. The
standard is relevant since it raises concerns and reports in case there are errors with a possibility
to harm a client or nursing practices which are below the expected standards (Endacott et al.,
2018).

NURSING ASSIGNMENT 3
Standard 2: Engage in therapeutic and professional relationships.
This issue will analyse how Registered Nurses engage in therapeutic and professional
relationships. Registered nurses use a patient-centered to establish relationship with patients
although retaining the professional therapeutic relationship with a community patient care can be
difficult as it engages not just the patient but also the family. The relationship between the
registered nurses and their patients is develop via sympathy, trust, and respect and it needs the
proper use of command (Moreno-Poyato et al., 2016). Considering the psychological, physical,
cultural and spiritual needs of patients the standard requires appropriate use of control to act to
make decisions in the best interest of the patient. This nurse-patient relationship is conducted
within bounds that dissociate healing and skilled characters from non-remedial and non-trained
characters (Ware, 2017).
The relevance of this standard between patients and nurses is that Registered nurses
show understanding and empathy at the same time maintaining the appropriate distance of
emotions to remain professional and objective (Heggestad, Nortvedt, Christiansen & Konow-
Lund, 2016). A nurse should stay professional and non-judgemental during the association by
doing special operations for their clients. Also, they show trust which is essential in retaining a
professional therapeutic relationship in that a patient will believe their nurse to have the
appropriate attitude and skills along with the knowledge to handle their nursing responsibility
effectively (Chambers & Ryder, 2016). Furthermore, registered nurses are in privileged
positions to make decisions on behalf of the patients. This power may include the access to
personal data of clients and should always be utilized for the benefit of a client but not to take
