Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

4.3K
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

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

1.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Licensure Examinations
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) pass rates are declining, sparking investigations into contributing factors.
  • Existing studies and program-specific interventions have yielded mixed results in addressing NAPLEX success.
  • A need exists to involve a broader range of stakeholders in developing effective solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key stakeholders invested in and capable of influencing NAPLEX outcomes.
  • To propose collaborative strategies for improving NAPLEX pass rates and ensuring graduate preparedness.
  • To recommend specific actions for regulatory bodies and pharmacy programs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of factors influencing NAPLEX success, including PharmD program characteristics, curriculum, and student preparedness.
  • Review of current approaches and their effectiveness.
  • Identification of collaborative opportunities among the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and PharmD programs.

Main Results:

  • Recommendations for NABP and ACPE include increased transparency in exam blueprint changes and aligning accreditation standards with NAPLEX content.
  • PharmD programs are advised to engage preceptors in exam preparation and offer structured student support.
  • AACP members can develop shared resources, such as practice question banks.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative efforts among all stakeholders are essential to address declining NAPLEX pass rates.
  • Improved alignment between pharmacy education and licensure requirements will enhance graduate preparedness for practice.
  • Ultimately, these improvements will benefit patient care through a more competent pharmacy workforce.
