NSB016    Reflection on simulation assignment

 

“Reflection is the examination of personal thoughts and actions… with an aim to develop professional actions that are aligned with personal beliefs and values” (Somerville, 2004).

Using your knowledge of the reflective process, you should address one (1) of the domains of practice:

  • Professional Practice
  • Critical Thinks and Analysis
  • Provision and Coordination of Care
  • Collaborative and Therapeutic Practice

Your aim is to demonstrate critical self-awareness of how decisions during the simulation were made by you and/or the group, identifying personal learning outcomes including awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses. You will clearly state a range of implications for your future nursing practice and the actions you would take if presented with a similar situation in clinical practice.

While this is a reflective piece of work, it does not mean merely describing events. Rather it requires you to consider why this is an important issue in your current practice. When answering, please consider this information and think about the more formal reflective writing that you have done in previous units. You have used the 5 R’s framework for reflection extensively in previous clinical units, and you may use this again. Or, you can choose a different reflective model as a guide.  However, you must use a framework and you must indicate which one you are using.

Other examples are:

  • Driscoll’s (2000; 2007) model of “what?, so what? and “now what?”
  • Gibb’s (1988) six-step process of reflection

Guidelines

Title page: You must include a title page with your name, student number, the domain of practice you are addressing and the name of the reflective framework you are using.

References: You will need to use a minimum of two (2) evidence based references in your writing.   While the use of references in regards to Registered Nurse competencies are important and will also need to be used where appropriate, these will not be counted in your two (2) references.

Word count: 500 words

Submit your reflection through Turnitin.

Additionally, you should conform to the standards of academic writing as articulated in QUT’s cite|write cite. General information about academic writing can be found here http://www(dot)citewrite(dot)qut(dot)edu(dot)au/.

Critical Thinking and Analysis
Name
Institution
Introduction
Every nurse is required to have proper clinical reasoning skills as well as ability to make good decisions. Due to clinical reasoning, it is the reason why professional nursing education emphasizes on critical thinking skills. The most important thing about critical thinking is required as it is vital for enhancing wellbeing and safety of patients. Ability to think critically is important for a nurse as it will enable him or her to recognize changes in the patient’s condition. Critical thinking skills will also enable a nurse to make an independent decision and should be able to follow as well as anticipating orders (Shoulders-Odom, 2008).
Description of the Situation
During simulation class, we were divided into different groups and each and every member had a role to play. I was given a role for checking patients that had vital signs. There was this particular patient who was 65 years old that had a history of hypertension and DMII. We were taught that hypertension is normally being controlled through medication and a good diet. The patient had angioplasty on his right coronary artery through which a stent was being used to administer drug. The patient was recovering well, however in the process of healing, the patient developed chest pain. As away for easing off the pain, the doctor asked us to give the patient Nitroglycerin spray in every five minutes. However, we did not give the patient Nitroglycerin Spray to control the chest pain. Our failure to give the patient Nitroglycerin made the patient to complain profusely on his chest. We were also instructed by the doctor to call him and inform him incase of any changes in the patient’s condition. We called the doctor as we were told, but we failed to explain to the doctor that the patient on his chest and grown.
Personal Emotional Feeling
When I saw how the patient was crying out of the excruciating pain as a result of our failure to follow instructions, personally I was so devastated and I found it difficult to control my emotions and anxiety. As a matter of fact, I felt so inexperienced and lack of proper skills to help patients when during emergencies. During this incidence, I even forgot if I ever attended any nursing class and could not completely recall both theoretical and practical skills that I had learnt from nursing class. Although at the beginn...
