Examining nursing accountability in the context of record keeping

In other words, it provides others with written evidence as to why certain events or steps have been taken by the nurse creating the written record, whether these prove to be right or wrong. Nevertheless, one definition that includes a more positive view on accountability is that ?it is an innate certainty as an expert that permits a medical attendant to take pride in being straightforward about the way he or she has completed their practice" (Caulfield, 2005: 3).

"In conclusion, it may be suggested that, after considering Mr. S's experience of care, the implications for a student's professional development are that health care professionals should always listen to clients and make the client feel that the carer is interested in them. It may also be useful for a student's development to understand the part that complimentary therapies and exercise programmes may have to play in a client's care, alongside medication."

The purpose of this essay is to discuss the importance of assessment.

"In conclusion it can be seen that a thorough assessment is needed in every aspect of patient care. By conducting a thorough assessment a nurse is able to determine what a patient can and cannot do and also to identify risk factors. By assessing a nurse is able to set short and long term goals for a patient and by completing the nursing process."

This assignment will discuss proficiency from within the pre-registration clinical profile. The proficiency to be discussed shall be clause 4.1 Personal and Professional Development. The rationale as to why this proficiency was chosen was to reflect

"In conclusion my reflection skills have developed through the production of this assignment. Using a model of reflection has assisted me in structuring my thoughts and feelings appropriately. My level of awareness concerning different groups of people and their individual needs, and its importance, has been enhanced with the use of critical reflection. My competence, within this; communication skills, assertiveness and furthermore confidence, has been further developed and I now feel that my personal and professional development is progressing. Using this reflective model has helped me to realise that my learning experience is something which I must be proactive in. Furthermore as a student nurse I have recognised that reflection is an important learning tool in practice."
