Project 1
The mainframe of values and belief at the workplace alliance with maintaining a
positive work environment and framing a trustworthy relationship with client (Takase et al.
2015). In particular, this is important because it helps in collecting appropriate health history,
provide opportunity to give information and education about health issues, and offer
satisfaction to the client. The self-evaluation with supervisor helps in maintaining
competency with reference to proper documentation while collecting health history, using
evidences to find out the possible assessment criteria, and learning appropriate style of
communication while dealing with patients. While evaluation the feedback from co-worker,
the same thing was highlighted regarding proper documentation, as it helps in avoiding
misconception.
In conjunction to the current and emerging industrial trend, nowadays patients are
coming to appointment with learned information about symptoms, conditions, and treatment
options available. Hence, it is important for nurses to clear the misconceptions as well as
render appropriate information that are valuable to their specific cases. Another important
trend is the continued growth of technological utilisation into routine practices, which
demands the nurses to gain competencies regarding IT and computer software usage (Gürdaş
and Kaya 2015).
To confirm own practices with respect to ethical and legal requirement, in my opinion
it is utmost important to collect the information regarding health history properly and shared
them accordingly to achieve appropriate clinical outcomes. Additionally, maintaining privacy
for patient information is also another practice that I followed regularly. With reference to the
industrial trend, I always focus on upgrading skills related to computer literacy and
communication practices that in turn helps in maintaining accurate care practice standards.
