1Nursing Assignment 139Description of the Event:The given video shows an interaction between a nurse and his patient, where the nursecame to check the patient’s vital signs. Given below is the description of the scenario,outlining the 5 W’s of the event:The given scenario involves a nurse visit to a patient, where the nurse had to checkand record the vital signs of the patient. The nurse used the time while checking the vitalsigns to engage in communication with the patient, asking him how he feels, and how longhas he been admitted to the hospital. After checking the vital signs, the nurse informed thateverything seemed normal, and that he will share the report with the doctor.The nurse exhibited strong commitment to the NMBA (Nursing and Midwifery Boardof Australia) standards. The nurse showed a professional code of conduct and presentation asrecommended by NMBA guidelines. Also, his interaction with the patient showed evidenceof the influence of the second standard 2 of NCAS (Nursing Competency AssessmentSchedule), which focuses on the engagement of therapeutic and professional relationshipsbetween the nurse and patient.The NCAS includes the following standards in nursing practice:Standard 1: critical thinking and analysis, Standard 2: engaging in therapeutic andprofessional relationship, Standard 3: maintaining the capacity for practice, Standard 4:comprehensively conducting assessment, Standard 5: developing nursing plan, Standard 6:Providing safe, appropriate the responsive quality nursing practice and Standard 7:Evaluating outcomes to inform nursing practice.The event seemed to have taken place in a hospital ward

2Nursing Assignment 139In the video only the patient and nurse was present. No other individuals were seen onthe video.The nurse was checking and recording the vital signs of the patient, as well asassessing the patient’s health status. It could be seen that the nurse was attempting to developa therapeutic professional relationship with the patient. The nurse informed the patient that all the vital signs (the temperature and pulse ratewere normal.Reflection on the incident:From the beginning of the video, the set up seemed to be very clinical, with thehospital bed and the hospital patient’s attire worn by the patient. The patient seemed to bestable enough to be sitting on the chair, waiting for the nursing round. The patient was alsoresponsive and understood what was being told by the nurse. Even his sense of humorseemed to be fine, which showed that he had emotional stability and his cognition normal.This gave me a strong impression that the patient seemed to be content with the care plan,and had not serious complaints, which otherwise would have been reflected in his behavior orbody language. This was in accordance to the NMBA standards of the nursing code ofconduct.The event started with the nurse introducing himself to the patient, asking him how hefelt, and informing him what he wanted to do (that is check the vital signs). From thebeginning of the video, the nurse’s attitude was very friendly, and showed focus on how thepatient felt. He continued with the development of the therapeutic relation with the patient.He also listens to the patient carefully, and responds accordingly. At the end of the event, Ifelt that the nurse was able to progress the development of the therapeutic relation with the

This followed the standard 2 of the NMBANCAS guidelines that highlights the development of therapeutic relation.Evaluation: The Nurse followed the guidelines of the NMBA in the given video, following thestandard code of conduct and professional practice. In the event, the nurse was able tosuccessfully develop a therapeutic relation with the patient. The patient seemed to becomfortable enough with the nurse to share a small joke, and also was very friendly to thenurse. Overall, I would say that the nurse did a decent job in his attempt to familiarizehimself with the patient, and was therefore able to gain confidence from the patient. I foundmost part of the event to be positive, which fostered the development of the mutuallybeneficial and therapeutic relation between the patient and the nurse. The ability of the nursethe engage the patient in the communication, as well as assuring the patient that is vital signswere good, was also important to gain the confidence of the patient. The nurse was also veryprofessional, and explained his duty clearly to the patient. I could also see that the nursemaintained eye contact and the information provided was also very clear. His answers to thepatient was also very honest, for example, when the patient asked about how long the nursewas engaged in this profession, which he seemed to have answered honestly. All such aspectsshowed congruence with the NMBA standards.I did not find anything particularly negative about the entire incident. However, thenurse could have also provided more information regarding the discharge plan of the patient,informing him when can he expect to be discharged and showed more proactiveness ininitiating conversations with the patient, while checking the vital signs, and thus prevent themoments of silence. The NMBA standard suggests that the nurse should have a proactiveapproach towards the development of communication with the patient.
