WORKPLACE SIMULATED SCENARIO (CASE STUDY)
Question 1(a)
Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA)
The NMBA facilitates the nursing and midwifery practitioners’ and students’ registration.
NMBA is in charge of initiating standards, code of ethics and precept for the nursing and
midwifery practitioners.
Another role of the NMBA is the assessment of practitioners who have had their training
overseas and would like to practice in Australia.
NMBA is in charge of advancing standards, code of ethics and guidelines for the nursing
and midwifery practitioners.
Lastly, NMBA manages announcements, grievances, exploration of incidents and overseas
disciplinary hearings (nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2018).
Australian Nursing Federation (ANF)
The ANF advocates for support in nursing, nurses and midwives who face challenges such
as: work-related stress, fiscal issues, underfunded hospitals, staff shortages and facilities and
inadequate time spent with residents and patients and long working hours
The registration of nurses is conducted under the Health Practitioner Regulation National
Law.
Question 1 (b)
Recency of practice
Recency of practice refers the maintenance of an adequate connection with recent
practise in the profession(s) since qualifying for or obtaining registration by nurses or midwives.
In this context, practise is not rooted to provision of direct clinical care rather it includes

professional working in a direct non-clinical relationship with clients, working with
administration and research (nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2018). First, Suzy has fulfilled and
surpassed the number of hours needed to be continuous – which is a minimum of 450 hours –
because she works 15 hours a week. Also, Suzy will be able to show her recent practise relevant
to prescribing and administration of medicines as seen through her attendance to Jasmine.
Criminal History
Suzy is required to disclose her past criminal history to determine if she is suitable and
safe to practice in Australia. In doing this, she has to reveal to the NMBA of any previous
charges (if any) for offense (s) punishable by one-year incarceration or more and if Suzy has ever
been charged for offense (s) punishable by incarceration in Australia and overseas
(nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2018).
Question 1 (c)
The professional and collaborative practice domain pertains to the lawful, moral
backgrounds on which nurses (enrolled nurses) respond to their workspace competently. This
domain considers enrolled nurses’ roles to prolong up to date and best practice
(nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2018).
Suzy should accept responsibility and accountability for her actions. To uphold this
standard, Suzy will have to team up with her supervisor to ensure the delegated roles are within
her radar of practice.
Suzy should be able to communicate accordingly and use the required guidelines to report
and inform care.
Suzy should practice nursing in such a way that safeguards confidentiality and the respect
of her clients and colleagues.

Suzy should also act following the existing laws, procedures, and policies within the
nursing practice.
Question 1 (d)
The National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHS) were developed and
effected by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care in 2012 to guard
the citizens against distress and enhance the standards of medical services provided to provide
safe and quality care. NSQHS collaborates with jurisdiction, technical experts, stakeholders
including practitioners and patients (Safetyandquality.gov.au, 2018).
The following are the examples of some of the NSQHS standards:
1. Patient identification and procedure matching standard which outlines the process and ways
to recognize clients and accurately meet their congruence with the definitive treatment
(Safetyandquality.gov.au, 2018).
2. Blood and blood products standard which outlines the process and ways for the secure,
worthwhile and administration of blood and blood products thus ensuring safety of the clients
being given the blood (Safetyandquality.gov.au, 2018).
The role of enrolled nurses in providing safe and quality care:
Nurses are essential in the purveying of quality and safe medical treatment. This aspect,
they achieve by carrying out the following roles:
Participating in the organizational processes, and improvement initiatives thus improving
the system for the safe and effective provision of quality healthcare service.
Following safety and quality procedures which will fortify that the healthcare
administered is safe and of high-quality (Safetyandquality.gov.au, 2018).
