Chapter 4: Competencies for Professional Nursing Practice

1.  You are assigned to care for Ms. C., an 81-year-old patient who was admitted today with symptoms of increasing shortness of breath over the last week. She is currently receiving oxygen through a nasal cannula at 3 L/min. You go into the room to assess her. You find that she is sitting up in bed at a 60-degree angle. She is restless and her respirations appear labored and rapid. Her skin is pale with circumoral cyanosis. You ask if she feels more short of breath. Because she is unable to catch her breath enough to speak, she nods her head yes. Which action should you take first? Why?

•      Listen to her breath sounds.

•      Ask when the shortness of breath started.

•      Increase her oxygen flow rate to 6 L/min.

•      Raise the head of the bed from 75 to 85 degrees

2.  What do all of the following scenarios have in common?

•      An elderly male becomes acutely confused and refuses to follow directions for his safety.

•      A teen comes into an urgent care setting requesting information about sexually transmitted infections.

•      A mother visits a school nurse and requests information about how the school handles sex education.

•      A team leader needs to rearrange assignments when one team member goes home sick.

•      Nursing staff in an intensive care unit need to develop an evacuation plan.

3.  You will be taking care of a patient in a nursing home for the first time. Your assignment is to care for an older man who has heart disease. In addition, he has five other medical problems and takes 20 medications. While developing a plan of care for this patient, you can identify 8 to 10 nursing problems. You have no previous experience with nursing homes, and most of what you have heard and read about them is negative. Will you find yourself dreading the clinical day and expecting a negative experience before you even begin?

4.  Think about a clinical experience that was troubling to you. Reflect on what bothered you about the experience. What could you have done differently? What were the reasons behind your actions? Try to create and clarify meaning or a new understanding of the particular situation.

5.  Beginning nursing students often tend to focus primarily on their routines, including to get their list of tasks done, including assessments, ordered treatments, daily care, and charting. What if an unexpected situation occurred during the day? Do you think you would be able to reason, plan, and take appropriate action—think critically?

 Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification. One paragrpah with intext citation reference, and please add some art , pictures which support your post 

Art has been a complex topic over the years , and different people have their views on how to define it . Some may critique and sometimes appreciate an illustration , according to its beauty, originally, attractiveness, and intellectual . These are the aspects that constitute the work. 

What art really is since there are so many types that make it hard to create a universal definition for every aspect . Jacobus and Martin ( 2019) explain that there are three types of criteria that can be used to determine what is considered a work of art : it is made by an artist , it is intended to be a work of art by the creator and recognized   experts agree that it is a work of art. This identification of art is more conceptual to which it actually has flaws in the criteria . The main flaw is the fact it does not allow for other outside perspective other than the artist and other experts.  This is why Jacob and Martin ( 2019) include the perception of art into the criteria as well by describing our perception of what we observe and our conception of what we already know.

One painting relates to surrealism which relates to my definition . Dai liked to described his work as hand painted dream photographers where he applied the method of surrealism , tapping deep into imagination ( Museum of modern Art , 2019). He relies his painting form of reality it representation visual objects .  

A non art example would be anything that was formed without expression of skilled or imagination . It is hard  to really identify what would not be considered art since I believe art is in the eyes of the beholder . For example some may view graffiti as non – art due to the fact it is illegal and an eye sore in some viewers.
