Standard 3: Takes responsibility for own actions and behaviours.
Indicators and Demonstrated Skills:
3. 1 Inserts knowledge and understanding of practice within the current context of practice, legislation, educational preparation and experience within the EN scope of practice.
Demonstration: I make sure that all the activities and duties that I perform are within the practice expected for an Enrolled Nurse (EN). For instance, in the sites I have been assigned to, I have always paid attention to the legislation and personal preparation and only carry out procedures as well as clinical decisions of which I am capable.
3. Responsible and accountable for own nursing practice.
Demonstration: Since nursing care is for individual clients when discharging the duties, proper documentation and relaying of all issues of clients are responsibilities I take full responsibility for. For instance, I always verify the prescribed dosage of medications given to the patients and also cross-check a patient’s records to avoid any mistake and if any side effects is observed or if there is any discrepancy then I report it to my supervising registered nurse.
3. 3 Acknowledges the RN as the person to help in decision making of the EN and provision of nursing care.
Demonstration: I have acknowledged the RN’s responsibility for at some point assisting me in my clinical decisions. Where decision making is a bit complex I consult the RN for confirmation of my actions and whether they are in conformity with the laid down standards and the care plan for the patient. For instance, if the care plan involves wound care for a patient then I consult the RN on other better techniques used in the treatment and any changes to be made to the plan.
3. 4 Co-operates with the RN to make sure that duties brought down to him/her fall under what he/she is allowed to do.
Demonstration: I consult with RNs in order to determine that any delegated tasks are within the scope of my professional practice. For example, if I am required to do a new procedure I always ensure that it comes under my nursing practice and seek direction from the RN or get trained on how to do it.
3. 5 Successfully explain own position and accountability to the supervising registered nurse according to the context of the healthcare organization in which they work.
Demonstration: On part and parcel of my interaction with staffs in the healthcare setting I always explain and redefine my role and responsibilities to my supervising RN. When it comes to the team meetings or during change-overs, I always ensure that I affirm my tasks and this is in a bid to ensure that in case there was doubt, the management clarifies and reminds me of my duties.
3. 6 Discusses with the RN and other members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team in order to be able to provide information to others and assist them in making appropriate decision.
Demonstration: I involve myself in group discussion meetings comprising of other practitioners in charge of the patient’s care and seek for additional or updated information regarding the patient. For instance, I make reports of the status of the patient to the group, and consult physiotherapy and diet services to formulate a treatment plan.
3. 7 Offers basic care in compliance with scope of practice developed as member of the Interdisciplinary healthcare team and under the general supervision of a registered nurse.
Demonstration: HCA also means that I take part in the delivery of health care services by collaborating with other care givers under the supervision of an RN. For example, I help with the evaluation of the patient and undertake the application of the care plan as prescribed by the RN although my actions are geared towards the achievement of the general treatment objectives.
3. 8 Supports and supervises assigned assistants in nursing (however titled) and others facilitating the delivery of care such as EN students, while performing care, as outlined in the plan of care and according to the institution’s policies, protocols and guidelines.
Demonstration: I provide instruction and supervision to EN students and assistants in nursing and the way in which nursing care is given by students and assistants is supervised by me in accordance with set policy. I take time to examine their work and advice them on how to do it correctly plus they monitor their stickliness to the care plans and the institutional standards.
3. 9 Advocates for protection of self as well as others in every aspect of nursing practice.
Demonstration: CONSIDERING SAFETY IN MY PRACTICE I ensure that I embrace all the standard infection control measures and the safety measures as well as wearing of personal protective equipment. For instance, I practice proper hand washing, wear proper gear to avoid getting injured, and or help to report any risks or accidents that may have occurred on the workplace.
