REFLECTION ON MODULES OF WEEK 5, 6, 7
Introduction:
Reflection is always considered one of the most important tools of professional
development in the nursing field. It mainly helps the healthcare professionals to recognize the
strengths and different weakness of the healthcare professionals and acts as a guide for on-going
learning and development (Vikstrom et al., 2015). By the procedure of reflection, healthcare
professionals may develop the skills that are required for self-directed learning as well as helps
in improvement of motivation. It also helps the individuals to develop knowledge and skills that
help them to provide not only safe care but also service of high quality that induces patient
satisfaction (Kogan et al., 2016). This assignment is mainly based on the reflection that would be
conducted by me on the three weeks of attending lecture classes. It will show how the theories
taught in my lecture classes would help me to develop quality care for the patients.

Description:
I had attended the lectures and gone through the modules of Week 5, week 6 as well as
week 7. These three modules had given us a scope to discuss about the different three theories
that are clinical reasoning cycle called the CRC, the Roger- Logan- Tierney model as well as
detailed discussion on the person-centered care. We were also provided with the case study of
Jim in the last weeks and detailed discussion was also made on the case study linking the
theories with the case study. Following these, assignments on reflection were asked to be done
by our professor.

REFLECTION ON MODULES OF WEEK 5, 6, 7
Feeling:
I was very excited during the classes as reading theories on nursing always fascinated me.
I find such theories interesting as it helps to provide me a guideline that I could easily adopt
during the times when I would be providing services to patients. In the initial days, I had
difficulty in grasping the foundation of the theories. I simple words, I was not able to understand
what the theories would help me to do in my times of clinical placements. However, with the
passing days and more in-depth discussion on the topics, the confusion that I had developed
earlier began to clear out. I felt more confident as I began to understand the theories and
developed knowledge about its benefits and importance. I was quite excited when I saw that I
was able to connect the theories with the case study of Jim provided in the class and this made
me confident in my approach.
Evaluation:
The three theories that have been taught to us are some of the most important theories
that every nurses need to know in order to assess the conditions of the patients first before
preparing the care plans. These theories are found to be quite different from the former theories
that had been taught. The former theories that had been taught to us were mostly value based that
helped us to develop the idea of a caring culture and a holistic approach that increase patient
satisfaction. These theories were different in the nature as they were mainly assessment based
and mainly helped in the clinical procedure of the treatment of the patients (Dalton et al., 2015).
These theories were not exactly curative in nature but were more assessment based forms like
understanding the symptoms of the patients, trying to determine the biological, social, and
psychological as well as the environmental determinants that in turn inform the care planning
