CLINICAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES 2
Conducting a Urinalysis
The two learning objectives in my placement relate to the topic of conducting a urinalysis. The
first learning objective is to understand the significance of observing the necessary protocols of
infection control during a urinalysis test.
I understand that I need to observe hand hygiene by decontaminating my hands and wearing
gloves every time I want to handle a patient. Infection control is important in protecting patients,
their families, and healthcare practitioners against infectious diseases during care delivery (Al
Yousef, 2014).
I will achieve this goal by documenting the risk factors of infection during the performance of a
simple urinalysis. This will help me in identifying the primary causes of infections during
urinalysis and knowing how to prevent them.
This learning objective is accurate and realistic because it follows the standards of professional
nursing practice. Standard 6 requires a nurse to provide safe, appropriate, and responsive quality
care (NMBA, 2020).
By the end of 3 months, I need to know how to conduct safe urinalysis by following the
guidelines for infection control. The only way of proving that I have the above-mentioned
learning objective is by conducting safe urinalysis tests. Under the guidance of my supervisor, I
will provide care to my patients. My supervisor will assess my practice and if he is satisfied with
my actions, then I will have known that I have successfully achieved my first learning objective.
Another proof of success is when patients are satisfied with my level of care delivery and do not
report any symptoms as a result of the urinalysis tests.
