Introduction:
Angela Burke who was a patient admitted to the psychiatric ward for suspected mental health issues required care. When working with mental health patients, it is necessary to use a patient centered care approach which emphasizes on each individual’s personal preferences and needs (Bromley, 2012). The main goal of this is to empower patients so that they can participate and become active in their care and allowing them to have a sense of control of their life (Bromley, 2012). For this to happen, it is essential for Authorised Mental Health Practitioners (AMHPs) to work together in collaboration using the NMBA’s Nursing Practice Decision Making Framework Tool in order to develop an efficient and effective patient centred care plan using goals to avoid or minimise potential risks in a ward setting. This paper will also discuss the different appropriate delegation, supervision and mentoring strategies which can be used amongst the inter-professional in order to create an effective shared …show more content…

By using the NMBA’s Nursing Practice Decision Making Framework, it enables the clinician who are making the referral decide whether or not the person they are referring Angela to are accountable, responsible, have authority and competent and/or require supervision to carry out a particular task (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, 2013). A range of inter-professional team which are considered essential for Angela’s care include GP, psychologists, psychiatrists, registered nurses, and social workers (Department of Health, 2014). These members can be delegated as well as are the delegator different roles and responsibilities as they all provide different aspects of Angela’s care as they have different skills and knowledge (Davies & Fox-Young,

    Making a clinical decision is a skill that needs to be acquired, and nurses are accountable for any decision that is made, so they need to understand how they make decisions (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), 2015). A greater understanding of how nurses make decision is essential to follow research and development of decision making skills (Clark et al, 2009) . A first step to a decision making process may entail understanding a framework or model. Baumann and Deber (1986) define decision making as situations in which a choice is made among a number of possible alternatives often involving values given to different outcomes”.

    Through the utilisation of the accompanying text, I aim to discuss and reflect upon one person’s care, to which I have had previous involvement. Using the perspectives set out by Chapelhow et al (2005), I aim to gain a broader outlook on what is expected of me as a Student Nurse. Chapelhow et al (2005) has identified six skills that they feel are required of every Health Care Practitioner. These skills are defined as ‘enablers’ as they are fundamental skills that provide the means for expert professional practice (Chapelhow et al 2005). Although there are six skills outlined, I will only be using two of them to analyse the care I provided. I have chosen to use communication and risk management as my two enablers.

The CNL’s purpose is to aid in various departments of the health care system including the psychiatric department.

  • The Role of the Registered Nurse in relation to delegation.

    2215 Words  | 5 Pages

    One of the vitals skill required by the Registered Nurse is the skill to assign tasks to subordinates (Saccomanos and Pinto-Zipp 2011). When tasks are delegated to subordinates, the RN remains accountable (Nursing and Midwifery Council 2008). On the other hand, an individual who has been given a task also bears responsibility for the task and is answerable to the RN. Hence, delegation involves “responsibility, accountability and authority” (Sullivan & Decker 2005, p. 144). This essay will examine the role of the registered nurse in relation to delegation. Areas that would be discussed includes definitions of delegation, benefits, types of delegaton, nursing process in relation to delegation, common mistakes of delegation, five rights of delegation and barriers to delegation. At the end, it would give a conclusion and also a statement of my learning.

  • Ethical Decision Making in Nursing

    1906 Words  | 4 Pages

    I chose to go into nursing because I had taken a sports medicine class in high school I enjoyed, and I thought I would be guaranteed a job graduating that had something to do with medicine. I can remember being so excited to learn how about illnesses and medications, and all the difference procedures done in the hospital. At the time I thought a nurse’s job was to do what the physicians said, and I expected set guidelines that would tell me what I was and wasn’t allowed to do. I had no idea that I was entering onto a career path involving so much complexity, and that the skills I had dreamed of learning were such a small part of nursing in comparison to the emotional, decision making, and critical thinking skills that a nursing career requires. Ethics in nursing was not something that had ever crossed my mind when I chose to take this path, however now ethics is something that I think about every day I am practicing, whether in clinical or theory courses. Ethical theories often come from the idea that because we are human we have the obligation to care about other’s best interests (Kozier et al., 2010), however in nursing ethical practice is not just a personal choice but a professional responsibility.

Mutual respect for their thoughts, feelings, and decisions creates a trusting relationship.

    ANA describes “The Scope of Nursing Practice (as) the “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how’ (8).’ In other words, it is the responsibility of the nurse to know who their patient is, what the patient’s diagnosis and treatment are, where it is they will be delivering treatment, the rationale behind their actions, and how they will deliver the care. By following the scope of practice, nurses reduce avoidable errors and are aware of the liability their actions entail. The ANA also puts forth a nursing process to guide nurses in treatment. The constantly evolving process is currently assessment, diagnosis, identification of outcomes, planning, implementation, and evaluation (ANA 9). Though this method has dramatically improved nursing care, it may be necessary to repeat steps to adapt to a patient’s changing needs and pathologies. By following guidelines set by the ANA, nurses are able to better connect with their patients and instill the image of professionalism to the public while also optimizing safety

    According to Grundy et al (2016), care planning is not only about clinical decisions, it is a shared responsibility between the person and the professionals. The professionals involved have a responsibility to make sure they are engaging fully with the person throughout the care planning process and to make sure they are meeting the required needs of each person, which will undoubtedly be different every time. Care plans should be meaningful and personalised to the service user and should include their goals, aspirations, and health needs. Mental health nurses have a duty to offer people evidence-based options and to make sure they fully understand these (Anthony and Crawford, 2000).
