Module 3 Reflection:
Module 3: Knowledge and Clinical Judgement in ATi explained knowledge as a whole and subcategories such as nursing knowledge and how to apply that to judgements pertaining to the hospital setting. Before this module, I never thought about nursing knowledge and how to apply it to the hospital setting. I found it very interesting how in-depth nursing knowledge is and how much is applied to it. I learned about nursing knowledge focused on numerous things such as legal and ethical issues, as well as nutritional knowledge. These types of knowledge make sense for nurses to need. For example, I learned that it is extremely important to teach your patients about their diet and other nutritional aspects. These ideas relate to what I am learning this semester because, in Adult Health 1, we are learning how to apply the knowledge we have to a hospital setting. We are also learning how to educate the patients properly. This module directly applies to major concepts of Adult Health 1.
My new understanding of nursing knowledge and clinical judgement will influence my integration into the nursing culture because these two concepts are major aspects of the world of nursing. Nurses must have the ability to transfer their knowledge into a judgement that is the best for the patient. I now know I will need the knowledge I have and will obtain these next two years to help make the best decision for patients as well as educate them on the decision. The module also touched on effective communication, which is important in nursing as well. Being able to create trust and therapeutic relationships with patients will create the best environment for them and the nurse. These concepts are all major aspects of nursing that I will carry into my culture of nursing.
Module 4 Reflection:
Module 4: Priority Setting Framework in ATi also has major concepts that pertain to nursing. I knew that as nurses, priorities were extremely important. Nurses must understand which patient they should see first and apply the ABCs of nursing and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to make the best decision for the patient. I did not know before this module about survival potential as well as the different types of risk reduction. I learned that there were different types of risk reduction, and the nurse must use Maslow’s Hierarchy and ABCs to determine the immediate risk. I also learned about the different types of survival potentials and the four different classes. This module directly applies to what we are learning in Adult Health 1 too. We are taught that as nurses we must prioritize our patients. We must use Maslow’s Hierarchy and the ABCs to help the most at need patients and to make the best decision for the patients. We also learned about the additional frameworks such as acute vs. chronic and unstable vs. stable, which the module also focused on.
Similar to Module 3, this program had major concepts of the culture of nursing. My new understanding of these concepts will influence by integration into the world of nursing because I now understand how and why I should prioritize certain things or patients over others. I will be able to use Maslow’s Hierarchy and ABCs to make the best decisions for my patients. Although having to choose to help one patient first over another can be extremely difficult, understanding the concepts that Module 4 emphasized helps better understand the reasoning behind the action. These concepts, along with Module 3, are important details in the world of nursing and I will make sure to incorporate them into my practice.
Nice reviw of module content but also include some application examples. Good work.
