Reflecting on Course Competencies and Critical Thinking- Achievements and New Knowledge Acquired

Course Competencies

Apply strategies for safe, effective, multidimensional nursing practice when providing care for clients with neurological disorders.

By completing the assignments assigned by my instructor, I now know the different symptoms and treatment strategies of many neurological conditions, such as dementia. I have learned that neurological disorders affect the cognition abilities of the individuals affected.

Outline Appropriate Nursing Strategies for Providing Care to Perioperative Clients.

Through this course, I have learned many nursing strategies that can be used to provide care to perioperative clients. I have learned that nurses can be a source of comfort and support for patients before surgery.  Nurses can also be empathetic when providing information concerning the surgeries.

Comparison of nursing interventions for clients with complex conditions

Aging patients have complex healthcare needs for the multiple conditions they suffer from (Fulmer et al., 2021).  I have read many textbooks and articles and learned of the many healthcare conditions this population suffers from. I have also read about the risk factors for complex conditions, such as lifestyle and diet.

 Identify Strategies for Safe Nursing Practice of the Client with Multi-System Organ Failure.

Multisystem organ failure can be defined as the failure of two or more organs to function properly due to certain conditions (Typpo & Lacroix, 2017). By conducting research, I have learned of the effects of multisystem organ failure on the patient. I have learned that nurses should prioritize patient needs when implementing a care plan.

Prioritize Nursing Interventions for Clients with Medical Emergencies

Medical emergencies are sometimes difficult to handle. Nurses must be calm and steady when handling these patients. In this course, I have learned the importance of patient assessment in medical emergencies. Conducting assessments will help the nurse to determine care needs and prioritize plans.

Summarize the Nurse’s Role and Care Strategies for Clients During Disasters

During disaster response, nurses are in charge of activating disaster plans in triage plans in their healthcare facilities, triage cases, and offering emergency care for injured individuals (Firouzkouhi et al., 2021). Nurses also help coordinate and transport victims to other healthcare facilities.

Transferable Skill

I have achieved critical thinking skills by doing my assignments, conducting research, and analyzing information from the internet. This has equipped me with the skills to handle any healthcare issues that may affect patient care.
