3NURSINGIntroduction Nursing practice is both rewarding and challenging at the same time. Apart fromretrenchment, they are to confront a number of challenges that might make their practicewithin the setting difficult. Registered nurses are to address contemporary practice issueswhile carrying out their practice within a clinical setting. The primary domains in which suchissue arise encompass clinical governance, quality and safety, leadership and management,organisational culture and professional practice. Clinical governance highlights the role ofconsumer participation in the improvement of service delivery by considering the need of thepatients and their perspectives (Giger, 2016). It is crucial that safety of patient and quality ofcare are two basic aspects of the process of improving care in addition to the reduction ofharm. Leadership skills have been long connected with competency levels of professionalsirrespective of their domain. A registered nurse is expected to be responsible for ownprofessional development through continual learning. A nurse is prone to suffer stress andburnout from a diverse range of source and must apply self-care strategies for combating thesame (Potter et al., 2016). The present paper addresses the above highlighted contemporarynursing issues in a detailed manner. It is divided into five sections, each pertaining to onedomain. The paper requires the author to reflect upon own experiences and support theopinion with evidence from existing literature. Clinical governanceShippee et al., (2015) have drawn the attention of healthcare researchers on theimportance of engaging patients, that is healthcare consumers for better care delivery.

I, as a registered nurse, would enable engagement of patients in care service deliveryby taking feedback from those who have been discharged from the care setting in the last oneweek. This would be done by contacting the patient over the telephone and communicating ina manner that would ensure that the patients report their true feelings and perceptions. Afeedback form would be sent to them via email, and the same are to be reverted within a spanof two days. The elements of the feedback form would encompass different aspects of patientsatisfaction pertaining to care delivered while his stay at the hospital. Suggestions would betaken on how the services can be made better in the future (Black, 2016). Quality and safetyThe National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards has beenoutlined by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) thataims to foster and promote protection and safety of the patients getting services from ahealthcare centre. There are ten standards described in the document, each focusing ondiverse patient care issues (safetyandquality.gov.au, 2012).
