This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide comfort...
Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation01:24

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing students must demonstrate decision-making skills for registration. This article helps students recognize and document these essential skills, while also guiding mentors on effective support strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Clinical Skills Assessment
  • Professional Regulation

Background:

  • The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) mandates decision-making as a core competency for nurse registration.
  • Decision-making is integral to completing essential skills clusters in pre-registration nursing programs.
  • Nursing students often underestimate the decision-making component of their clinical tasks, hindering accurate self-assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore methods for nursing students to effectively demonstrate their decision-making abilities.
  • To provide practical techniques for clinical mentors to support student development in decision-making.
  • To enhance student recognition of decision-making processes during clinical placements.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of student self-perception regarding decision-making in clinical practice.
