CNA340: Semester 1, 2019 - CPR Resource Critique for Nursing Practice

This report critically examines a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) resource within the context of CNA340: Developing Professional Nursing Practice, focusing on the 'Partnering with Consumers' standard. The resource, centered on advanced CPR decision-making and end-of-life care, is evaluated in relation to its effectiveness in promoting patient-centered care and its impact on patient outcomes, drawing on relevant scholarly literature. The report highlights system and physician level barriers, proposes strategies to enhance CPR decision-making processes, and explores the resource's alignment with the Australian Commission on Quality and Safety in Health Care (ACSQHC) National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards. The author reflects on the resource's implementation at Calvary Rehabilitation Hospital, identifies areas for improvement, and discusses implications for their own nursing practice, including the integration of palliative care and improved CPR documentation within their department.
