Using Gibbs reflective model I will be reflecting on an aspect of the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act (HPCA) (2013) which has been upheld in my clinical practice.
Description of the Event:
Health Practitioners competency Assurance Act, 2003(HPCA Act, 2003) is to protect the health and safety of members of the public. And this is done by providing for mechanisms to ensure that health practitioners are competent and fit to practise their professions (Burgees, 2008). All the power and responsibilities is given to Nursing Council to maintain competence to practise for all nurses. This is done by monitoring every nurse to be registered for scope of practise in relation to registration and ongoing practice, to be fit for registration and to suspend nurses if necessary on the grounds to pose risk to members of the public (Burgess, 2008). As a BN3 student, after achieving IV certificate, my scope of practise allows me to administer Intravenous medication under the direction and supervision of my preceptor. I reminded my preceptor that I am allowed to administer IV medication and showed her my IV certificate. My certificate states that I am allowed to administer IV drugs but under direct supervision of my preceptor. Ever since I always make sure that I administer all the drugs no matter oral or IV under direct supervision of my preceptor to protect my patients. My focused patient 15 years old who was admitted to ward with pneumonia was charted IV augmentin every 8 hours. I greeted the patient and his parents and took verbal consent to administer IV antibiotics. I explained the patient about effects, side effects and how does these antibiotics will help in treating his infection and also checked patients five right before moving ahead.
Feelings:
I was very excited as I always wanted to do that and now after achieving certificate at my simulation session I am allowed to administer IV medications. I was nervous also as I don’t want to use wrong technique

    You did a great job at picking your research topic. The perfection of the medication administration process is a must. It is so important to give the right medication to the patient in the correct manor. For instance, I know an individual that let me know they were in a hurry and gave dilaudid via IV push. Although it was the correct medication the nurse gave it in less then thirty seconds when the standard is to give it over a period of two to three minutes. The patient became nauseated, and vomited. It was not a pretty situation. The good news is that it was not the wrong medication, and it was given incorrectly. Also, I work with a pharmacists that was a nurse first. She has a saying I truly believe in when it comes to the medical…

    This reflection will reflect upon a key skill that I still need to develop in clinical practice. It will mainly look at numeracy. A significant event will be outlined in order to demonstrate my knowledge to the key skill and then discuss key skill in relation to nursing practice. The Gibbs model of reflection (1988) will be used to reflect on what happened; discuss my actions, thoughts and my feelings. A Personal Development Plan will be provided to show how future learning needs will be met (see appendix 1). Personal development plans are individuals plan for what an individual knows about a skill, what they need to know and how they plan on achieving their own set goals. (Grit 2009).…

    Within this assignment I will utilise the Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards of Proficiency (NMC 2004a) for entry to the register to critically reflect upon my portfolio of evidence in order to demonstrate that I am fit to practice. In doing this I will discuss the terms ‘proficiency’ and ‘reflection’. I will identify the model of reflection I am going to use within this assignment and will give a rationale for this choice. For each domain I will provide a critically analysed reflection, using evidence taken from my portfolio. For each domain I will demonstrate what learning has taken place, identifying a learning outcome and action plan from each reflection.…

    Since I would not be the charge nurse, I would be able to be involved in direct patient care, I felt that way I would have slightly more control over my environment and interactions. My partner and I discussed our patients after viewing the orders, labs, and medications. We placed priority on giving a patient blood and attempting to control pain after getting vitals and assessment. He had a PICC line, something we do not have much exposure to in clinic apart from visually assessing the dressing. As simulation continued his stats dropped and I made the mistake of ‘simulation pretend’ instead of looking at the situation as a real obstacle. The program of decreased oxygenation was solved when proper trach suctioning was initiated. Though the order stated nasal cannula for decreased oxygenation, trach oxygenation was implemented and was deemed appropriate. With our other patient, vitals were obtained through the charge nurse, but I neglected to put priority on getting her assessment and instead reobtained vitals before administering medication. Since her treatment was a continuation from yesterday, we also had to start an IV and should have called to question fluids, but we did hang…
