Assessment task - Professional Practice Assessment

Professional practice assessment task 1:

As part of professional practice assessment task 1, you should perform nursing admission procedures for a person in your workplace complying with your workplace policies and procedures under supervision. This assessment may be undertaken as part of the unit of competency HLTAAP002 Confirm physical health status. Use the following admission template and report section for related documentation.
Appendix 1 provides you with further information on what information you could collect from the person. Use this appendix as a guide.

The Host Facilitator or EQUALS' Clinical Facilitator will observe your skills in performing the admission procedures and complete the observation checklist and assessment outcome sections (provided in the logbook) based on the skills you demonstrated, and the documentation completed.

Professional practice assessment task 2:

Develop a nursing care plan for a person in your workplace, based on the holistic health assessment (physical health assessment and health history collection). You may prefer to develop a nursing care plan for the person you admitted as part of task 1 or any other person, as appropriate.

If a nursing care plan is already developed for this person, you must not refer to this document. Perform required assessments and gather sufficient information and develop a plan of care for the person. Then, compare your plan of care with the nursing care plan already developed for the person. Reflect on and raise with the registered nurse or interdisciplinary health care team any conflicts between the nursing care plan you developed and an already prescribed plan of care for the person.

If a nursing care plan is not yet prescribed for this person, wait for the nursing care plan to be developed and then undertake a comparison. Alternatively, you could discuss the plan of care you developed with the registered nurse and/or interdisciplinary health care team and discuss any conflicts between the nursing care plan you developed, and the actual care required for the person.

Use the nursing care plan report template provided below for appropriate documentation of the plan of care and reflective report.

Professional practice assessment task 3:

As part of professional practice assessment task 3, you should perform nursing discharge procedures for a person in your workplace complying with your workplace policies and procedures under supervision.

Gather sufficient information and perform holistic health assessments using appropriate equipment and techniques to facilitate the discharge process.

Use the following discharge template and report section for related documentation.

The Host Facilitator or EQUALS' Clinical Facilitator will observe your skills in performing the discharge procedures and complete the observation checklist and assessment outcome sections (provided in the logbook) based on the skills you demonstrated and the documentation completed.
