Week 1 Our Care Culture and Scope of Nursing Practice Discussion
Question Description
Week 1: Our Care Culture
Purpose
This week’s graded topic relates to the following Course Outcome (CO).
CO1: Applies principles of nursing, theories, and the care philosophies to self, colleagues, individuals, families, aggregates and communities throughout the healthcare system. (PO#1)
Discussion
Care expressed and practiced in professional nursing models provides a way of looking at the nursing role from the aspect of care. It may seem excessive to consider aspects of caring and compassion in nursing. However, precisely because it IS nursing makes it crucial to our continual progress of defining and upholding one of our central professional principles.
Address each of these items:
Reflect on a caring and compassionate experience with a patient or family encountered in your practice. How was your compassion demonstrated? What other ways do you wish you would have expressed caring?
How does your thinking about compassion expand to include self and colleagues?
