https://eportfolio.usq.edu.au/view/view.php?t=cDhYqHKrxSeunispIPC0I am Sahil arora, student of final year in USQ. I have just finished my placement for acute care in practice i.e. NUR2399 in Ipswich hospital from 19th nov, 2018 to 16th dec, 2018. The duration of placement was for 4 weeks which includes morning and evening shifts. On the very first day Marli Merhoye the clinical facilitator conducted orientation for all the students and later she sent all the students to their allocated wards. I was allocated in 6B ward which is for rehabilitation patients. Clinical nurse assigned me with the Registered nurse. I have gained various nursing skills such as how to give medication, sub-cut injections and how to write progress notes, documentations related to the patients and many more.
In my each shift I was involved with the nurse to make nursing plan for the patients and monitor all the daily activities of patient and recording them in the documents. I was working in rehab word so, there I have to monitor their progress and I was evaluating as well that the therapies are beneficial for them or not. Like most of the patients were engaged in physiotherapy and occupational therapy over there so that they can became independent. I had noticed one patient was upgraded to rollator for mobility but after few days he falls and due to weakness and muscle stiffness he was back to hoist machine for the mobility. So we revise all the plans which we made for him and after giving extra care to him he is back to the rollator and I have evaluated his outcome form the physiotherapy that how it was beneficial for him. Later we made new future goals for him that how he can became more independent.

Answer
Reflection Assignment 4: Clinical Placement Experience in Relation to Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia Competency Standards
In my acute care placement experience at Ipswich hospital, from Nov 19, 2018 to Dec 16, 2018, I was attached to the Ward 6B were I worked with rehabilitation patients. I was engaged in development of the nursing plan for individual patients. Besides, my role was to monitor daily activities of each patient and recording their progress reports in respective documents. The plan of care for one of the patients had been upgraded to use of a rollator so as improve his mobility. Unfortunately, he fell after a few days due to muscle stiffness and general muscle weakness. In response, the healthcare team, me included, decided that his care plan be stepped-down first to use of the hoist machine till he was fit enough to use to rollator once more. The decision making process was made in accordance with Standard 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the Nursing and Wifery Board of Australia (NMBA) competency standards (NMBA, 2016).
Standard 1 requires nurses to think in a critical manner and have a critical analysis of the nursing practice. This was observed. Standard 4 requires nurses to comprehensively conduct clinical assessments in which my team did as we provided care to this particular patient. Standard 5 requires nurses to develop a plan for nursing practice. With respect to Standard 5, we developed a plan of care for this particular patient earlier and revised it once more when we learnt that the plan does not work after the patient fell after being put on a rollator. Standard 6 requires nurses to be able to provide safe, responsive, and appropriate quality nursing practice for all patients. We were obliged to revise the care plan so as to provide safe and high-quality care when we noticed the fall. Standard 7 requires nurses to be able to evaluate outcomes so as to inform nursing practice. Consequently, the hospital required that patients be monitored at all time to address any emerging healthcare needs. However, we failed to observe Standard 3 which requires nurses to engage patients in therapeutic relationship; although in part we maintained our professional relationships as a healthcare team. With respect to Standard 3, I will always ensure that I have maintained my capability for practice through accumulation of practice experience and commitment to a life-long learning process (NMBA, 2016). In conclusion, the patient later used the rollator without any significant challenges after he had received extra person-centered care; thus, promoting his recovery.
