by proper practice during the graduate registered nurse. Therefore, clinical leadership is not
essential within the nursing consideration because major of focus is associated with enhancing

Post 2
Account to this post, the autonomy and accountability which may show the entails for the
both personal as well professional role and responsibility. In addition, the personal responsibility
to endorse the ethical conduct which is persistent with the professional practice where
responsibility is used to exercise in discretionary power to the ultimate benefits of the patient. It
is an important aspect for the nursing where autonomy and accountability played vital role in
fostering the freedom and confidence (de Bortoli Cassiani et. al., 2019). The freedom and
confidence attained in nursing with autonomy that turn to lead the nurse which is able to be more

patient care and how the decision will also impact nurse. Whereas, the decision will usually
affect the unit operation in current leadership where the organisational decision is used to take
place. In addition, autonomy is related with accountability since nurse are used to work in
independent manner and take their decision. In this, any decision for that matter are just a mode
of accountability for their action which is taken place. Therefore, autonomous decision is used to

style that used by registered nurse to make the transformation within clinical practice and
provide proper support and care to the patient as per requirement. In addition, it helps registered
