Introduction
Clinical leadership can be defined as the leading a healthcare team to deliver high quality care to
the patients along with motivating the team members to provide effective health care that is safe
as well as satisfying for the patient. Registered nurses are considered to be nurse leaders and
hence they are stipulated to provide effective guidance to the nurses so that high quality care as
well as patient satisfaction can be ensured (Nagle and Vogt 2018). Effective clinical leaders need
personal qualities which reflect positive attitudes towards their own profession along with the
courage as well as capacity to challenge the status quo. Not only this, according to the principal
of clinical leadership, registered nurses should effectively address the quality issues along with
getting engaged in reflective practice.
Clinical Scenario 1
Identification and description of the leadership role of the RN in providing safe and quality care
the chef role of a registered nurse is to oversee the integration of the patient care that includes
development of the treatments plans, collecting as well as evaluating the treatment result of the
healthcare service providers as well as to manage the medical teams (Nagle et al. 2017).Along
with this health promotion as well as disease prevention efforts can also be considered as a chief
responsibilities of the Registered Nurse. From the given scenario it can be clearly understood
that Aarya whose responsibility is to take care of 50 residents of the Winterfell wing of the
Westeros Aged care, needs to manage the medical team efficiently in order to address all the
requirements of the healthcare service users in an effective way. It has been found that a good
number of patients of the aged care home need effective services within a limited amount of tie.
Considering the fact that Aarya as a nurse leader is leading a team of one enrolled nurse as well

as 6 carers, as a nurse leader it is her responsibility to delegate tasks to her team in a way that all
the patients can be taken care of in an efficient way. On the other hand as a registered nurse, it is
her responsibility to ensure effective work life balance of her team members. For instance,
considering that fact that one of her carer complained to Aarya that she is feeling unwell and
need to get home as soon as possible, Aarya being a nurse leader granted her leave in order to
ensure effective workplace value.

and supervision

To maintain a high standard of care while
delegating activities, the chief responsibility of
Aarya will include

simple dressings and two complex dressings to
be done for the shift. For them 1 carer will be
delegated. For taking care of Greg Cleign who
arrived 3 days ago and is having some trouble
settling in, one carer will be delegated.
Considering the fact that one of the carer left
the workplace after half shift, one carer will be
delegated to three monthly care plan review for
two of Aarya’s residents, Edward Stark and
Ted Littlefinger. The enrolled nurse will be
delegated to take care of Mrs Targaryen who
has been found on the floor of her bedroom
and has a laceration to her head.
