Realising professionalism in Nursing Practice/ How can all of the professional practice anomalies be noted in a few paragraphs.
NSB018 Introduction to the Profession of Nursing.
Assessment Item 3. Semester 1 2016
Preamble:
Professional behaviours and attitudes of the registered nurse towards patients and their families are central
to the development of an effective therapeutic nurse patient relationship. Professional boundary violations
of ‘under and over’ involvement delineate best practice from poor practice, and often transmit to a lack of
respect and empathy for the patient’s health care needs. Such unprofessional practice will lead to patient’s
feeling unsafe physiologically, psychologically and culturally. Communicating professionally, using an
emotionally intelligent and caring approach is fundamental for patients and their families to feel safe in the
health care environment. As a registered nurse, it will be your responsibility to develop and maintain patient
safety with professional attitudes and behaviours at all times.
