Introduction to nursing praxis
Introduction
Caring is considered to be a value-based concept both in nursing profession and in
nursing education. A comprehensive understanding of caring and applying this concept in
nursing practice would contribute to the progression of the role of nursing science and the
discipline (Salehian et al., 2017). The NMBA standards of nursing professionals states that
nursing profession requires nurses to practice in a manner that preserves public faith and
confidence. Nurse practitioners are responsible for providing secure, consistent and competent
care for individuals and ensure an effective outcome by delivering high quality care. Ideally, the
nursing professionals are liable for providing secure and efficient treatment and they must ensure
care that is holistic, comprehensive and culturally competent (Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au,
2020). Every nurse is responsible for retaining the required skills for current practice. When an
area of care gets delegated, nurses insure that the delegation will not jeopardize the health or
consistency of treatment. The main responsibility of nurses is to make healthcare secure and
professional. The responsible person or agency would be made informed of any conditions that
may impair professional practices or any findings of dubious, unethical or unconstitutional
activity. Thus, in order to deliver a quality care and get an improved outcome, nurses must
practice by adhering to the nursing standards of practice and apply their skill set and adequate
knowledge they possess for improving health outcome of the patient and increase patient’s
satisfaction (Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2020). Below is the case study analysis of a patient
who is being treated at a hospital and face significant challenges that not only hindered the
quality of care of the patient but also decreased his satisfaction level. Thus, the paper aims at
identifying the area of care that is being hindered in the case study and recommends for further
nursing implications in order to get an effective outcome.

Discussion
Section 1:
The definition of care is described in numerous forms in nursing profession.
Philosophical studies and research and hypothesis creation have been conducted in the last
several decades on the definition of care, developed care attitudes and effects of caring for
patients, families, staff, societies and community (Zamanzadeh et al., 2015). Many scientists
have established hypotheses regarding caring because of their relevance to the world of nursing
and human life. As per the NMBA standards of nursing care, every nurse must ensure high
quality care by applying their knowledge, experience, skill and expertise that will help them
achieving a quality outcome. Every individual has unique are needs; it is the responsibility of
the nurses to identify them and develop as well as implement intervention strategies addressing
those healthcare needs of the patient (Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2020).
As it is shown in the case study that the nurse who assisted the patient in the ambulance
ensured the patients comfort and delivered a high quality care to the patient. The ambulance was
advanced and contained every necessary things and the nurse assisted Mr. Abbas to improve his
condition. He interacted with him to know if he is facing any difficulties. Following his
admission to the Emergency Department, the nursing students Shahn and Blake, who were in
charge at that time, were given necessary health information about the patient (handover)
(McKechnie, 2015). Nursing handover is necessary since it helps in transformation of patient’s
health information, both subjective and objective, vital signs and other medical information to
another nurse who is responsible for taking care of that patient. Clinical handover makes easier
for the health professionals to get accurate and updated information about the patient health that
further guides the treatment process addressing the health concerns and leads to an effective
