INTRODUCING PROFESSIONAL NURSING 2
Introduction
Nursing and health are considered to be an inter-related concept. Therefore, nursing is
considered to be one of the important concepts of healthcare. Nurses help in taking care of
the patient and they also ensure that patients can receive the quality of care. Quality of care is
important because it can result in fast recovery in the health of the patient. Nurses are also
responsible for taking care of requirements and needs of patient’s demands. There are
different principles and codes of conduct that are used by NMBA. This will help nurses
maintain the quality of services. Some many changes and updates are implemented by the
NMBA. This will be discussed in a further segment. In this discussion, the main focus will
be given on standard of practice, professional practice and code of conduct that are followed
by the nurses.
1. Standard of Practice
a) Critical analyses in nursing practice
In this principle, the nurse will take decisions after critically analyze the situation of the
patient. Treatment that is taken by the nurse must be safe and it should also be evidence-
based. The framework that should be used by nurses in this principle is person-centred and
evidence-based (Nursing and Midwifery Board , 2016).
As a Registered Nursing Student should I will implement the characteristic of open-
mindedness so that I could work according to the guidelines of the leaders. I will also reflect
on my thinking process so that I can also develop an understanding of the treatment that
should be given to the patient (American Sentinel University, 2014).

This strategy is the right decision and “Continuous learner” strategy. Both of these strategies
can be useful because it helps students and nurses in developing their skills. This standard can
be developed if there is a scope of continuous learning (Wiley, 2015).
b) Engages in professional relationship
The main aim of this principle is to engage in an effective relationship with patients. This will
also enhance trust and respect between nurses and patients (Nursing and Midwifery Board
, 2016).
As RN Students, I will develop professional as well as communication skills. I will also make
ensure that I will be listening to the requirements of patients. I will also respect the privacy of
patients (Feo et al., 2016).
Potential strategies that can be used in building a relationship is “Communication skills”.
Communication helps develop this standard because it will support and motivate the patient
(Richard, 2010).
c) Maintaining Capability for practice
The main of this principle is to be accountable and responsible for the safe treatment of the
patient. Nurses are also accountable for self-management and they are also concerned about
the capabilities (Nursing and Midwifery Board , 2016).
As an RN student, I must develop some skills so that I will achieve this standard. These skills
are confidence, decision making, leadership, effective care. All these skills will help me in
maintaining my capabilities (LIPPINCOTT NURSING EDUCATION, 2017).
The strategy of “self-development” can help assist the objectives of this standard. Self-
development will help nurses in knowing their capabilities i.e. their strengths and
