Professional practice assessment task:

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.

The Host Facilitator or EQUALS' Clinical Facilitator will observe your skills in developing a nursing care plan and collaborating with interdisciplinary team members and complete the assessment outcome sections (provided in the logbook) based on the skills you demonstrated, and the documentation completed.
