demonstrate safe and effective clinical decision making in line with Standards for competence for registered nurses

Professional issue 2 – Time management and prioritisation

Time management and prioritising clinical demands are challenges you will face throughout your career as a nurse. Whether you work in the community or acute health setting you will face constant demands on your time which will require you to make many clinical decisions. This scenario provides an opportunity to demonstrate safe and effective clinical decision making in line with Standards for competence for registered nurses (NMC, 2018).

You are a newly qualified nurse working in an acute medical ward. You receive handover for a bay of six patients. The health care assistant you are expecting to work with has not arrived on shift yet. Patient 1 (Mr Brown) is frail and confused and is wandering around the ward. The night nurse tells you he has been a nuisance overnight which has prevented her doing much of her work. Patient 2 (Mr Green) has just arrived from the emergency department with pneumonia. The night nurse hands over that he still hasn’t received his first dose of intravenous antibiotics yet. She states that he seemed quite short of breath when she admitted him but hasn’t had a chance to review him as she has been trying to get the Mr Brown back to bed. Patient 3 (Mr Black) is a surgical patient and is due to go to theatre this morning for an appendicectomy. Patient 4 (Mr Grey) has been admitted with acute sickle cell crisis. He is requesting some subcutaneous morphine which is prescribed. You looked after the two other patients yesterday and understand they are in a stable condition. Directly after handover the consultant arrives and asks you to attend the ward round.

Your discussion must centre around time management and prioritisation.

Critically discuss with rationale how you would respond to this scenario demonstrating safe and effective practice in line with The Code (NMC 2018)

You are about to qualify as an adult nurse which is a complex and diverse field of nursing. The scenarios in this workbook provide you with the opportunity to apply knowledge of professional issues to realistic scenarios that you may face in the workplace.

It is important that you discuss and relate leadership and management styles and other relevant material taught in the module within these scenarios. You are advised to refer and include the NHS Leadership Model. You may also wish to link the impact of COVID 19 to the issues you discuss in the workbook.

These scenarios relate to the following professional issues:

1. Care and compassion (compulsory)
2. Time Management and prioritisation (option A)
3. Risk management (option B)
4. Safeguarding (option C)

You should complete two reports centred around a discussion of the professional issue in relation to the outlined scenario. Professional issue 1. Care and compassion is compulsory, you may choose 1 other and for each:

• Write a concise report of 1250 words therefore, total word allowance is 2,500. You may use sub-headings to structure your report
• Provide an overview of the professional issues raised in the scenario and outline the potential impact of these on patient outcome supported by relevant contemporary evidence.
• Critically discuss with rationale how you would respond to this scenario demonstrating safe and effective practice in line with The Code (NMC 2018)
• You should discuss related professional issues such as leadership, accountability, confidentiality and the patient experience.
• You should discuss practice implications in relation to relevant national or professional guidance and policy
• You may provide one reference list for both reports.

You should refer to additional guidance provided by the Module leader in the assignment preparation sessions on the Module and on the Module Moodle shell.

Professional issue 1 – Care and compassion (compulsory)

Being unwell or admitted to a hospital can be an extremely stressful life event. Adult nurses are in a privileged position to support patients through this time by providing compassionate care. This scenario provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of compassionate care in line with Standards for competence for registered nurses (NMC, 2018).

It is the night shift and you are looking after a 70 year old man admitted with an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. After handover you notice that his mouth appears very dry and he asks for some water. He tells you he hasn’t had anything to drink all afternoon. His water jug is full but he tells you he can’t pour it himself due to the shakes in his hand caused by his medication. You challenge the day staff about this as they leave who respond that it has been so busy they didn’t even get a chance for a break. They say that the ward should have a housekeeper who could make sure patients get fed and watered as it’s not really their job.

Critically evaluate the challenges faced by managers in the development and deployment of strategy

Learning Outcomes Assessed

Background

You should approach this assignment from the perspective of a Business Consultant engaged to critically evaluate the challenges facing a selected organisation in developing and deploying strategy for sustainable competitive advantage. This will require you to apply a range of models and concepts in exploring strategic issues, processes, and resources, plus the recommendation of plausible and evidence-based options suitable for your selected organisation.

Important! Before undertaking any work on this assignment, please select an appropriate organisation within which to contextualise your work and seek written confirmation from your module tutor (or tutorial leader) that this is suitable for your paper. Please submit this written confirmation (normally an email) as an appendix to your written work.

Assignment Tasks

Using the selected organisation, you have agreed with your tutor, undertake a critical analysis of key strategic challenges it faces, using an evidence-based approach to inform your assessment. Where you use tools, models or theories of Strategic Management to structure your analysis, you must include commentary setting out your rationale for adopting these, and explaining any key critical issues associated with their use in exploring strategy.

From your analysis, present a prioritised summary of the organisation’s key strategic challenges, supporting this with an explanation of how these priorities were arrived at.

Next, for each of the two highest ranked strategic priorities from your analysis, explore the strategic options potentially available to your selected organisation, providing theoretical support to frame your discussion.

As a practical output from your assessment, draw appropriate and logical conclusions and recommendations that would, in your view, best enhance your organisation’s competitive position, using evidence set out previously in your analysis to support your proposals.

Finally, comment upon the effectiveness of the tools and techniques of strategic management in supporting your investigation, evaluation and building recommendations.
