Major weakness of all checklists

- no set performance standards; specific components of behavior not addressed. Checklists do focus on a variety of job-related behaviors and avoid some of the bias inherent in the trait rating scales.

LPN scope of practice

- stable and predictable situations (routine!) - may delegate to NACs - has a dependent role in the nursing process - requires supervision by law - may administer drugs, meds, treatment tests, injections and inoculations under the supervision of a RN -Function in an INTERDEPENDENT role to deliver care as directed and assist in the revision of care plans in collaboration with the registered nurse. -Function in a DEPENDENT role when executing a medical regimen under the direction and supervision of MD, ARNP, etc. -Never has an INDEPENDENT role.

Right level of supervision

-Appropriate monitoring, evaluation, intervention as needed, and feedback -FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF: 1. Patient response from the delegated task 2. Performance of activity HOW TO SUPERVISE PROPERLY: 1.Provide supervision expectations 2.Release control - allow the person to complete the task 3.Monitor and give guidance as needed 4.Provide corrective instructions if necessary Ensure proper documentation is completed

Right circumstance

-Appropriate patient setting, available resources, and other relevant factors considered -FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF: 1. Health status of the patient 2. Complexity of the task or activity 3. Supervision available

NAC Scope of practice (what you can delegate)

-CPR -Vital Signs -Height & Weight -Intake & Output -Eating and Hydration -Activities of Daily Living -Recognize normal body functions & deviations* -And timely reporting of the changes to the RN

Considerations in assignments

-Capability of staff member -Scope of Practice -Experience -Special skills -Care needs of patients -Physical environment -Infection control -Anticipated changes in assignment -Special staff needs -Standards of practice

Right Direction/Communication

-Clear, concise description of the task, including its objective, limits, and expectations -FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF: 1.Oral or written clarity 2. Clarity of direction and supervision 3. Reporting requirement 4. Time constraints 5. Re-check for understanding 6. Don't ignore nonverbal communication

Reasons to delegate

-Delegate routine tasks so that you can handle more complex issues -Delegate if someone else is better prepared or has greater expertise of knowledge on how to solve a problem -Provide learning opportunities for subordinates

What RNs may not delegate

-Initial nursing assessment and subsequent assessments if nursing judgment is needed -Decisions/judgments about nursing diagnoses -Decisions/judgments about outcomes -Determination/approval of plan of care -Interventions that require professional nursing knowledge, decisions, or skill -Administration of meds (except within specific provisions) -Piercing of tissues (except insulin) -Evaluation of the plan of care

common delegated tasks to LPN

-Medication pass -Non-invasive procedures: EKG, venipuncture, IV start -Basic nursing skill for a stable, predictable patient

commonly delegated tasks to a NAC

-Non-invasive and non-sterile treatment -Vital signs, height and weight -Intake and output -Capillary blood check -Urine test -Ambulation, positioning, turning -Transporting patient within a facility -Personal care skills -Activities of Daily Living -Feeding

Right task

-One task that is delegable for a specific patient -FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF: 1. Policies & Procedures 2. Scope of Practice 3. Knowledge required 4. Standards of practice 5. Potential for harm 6. Predictability of outcome

NAC competencies

-Personal Care Skills -Mental health and social service needs -Care of cognitively impaired residents -Basic restorative services -Client or resident rights and promotion of independence -Communication and interpersonal skills -Infection control -Safety and emergency procedures -Rules and regulations knowledge

Five Rights of Delegation

-Right Task -Right Circumstances -Right Person -Right Direction/ Communication -Right Level of Supervision

Right person

-Right person (Nurse) is delegating the right task to the right person to be performed on the RIGHT patient. -FACTORS TO BE AWARE OF: 1. Job descriptions 2. Scope of Practice 3. Skills and abilities of delegated person 4. Special competencies *GENERAL RULE* §Do not delegate a task to a person that has never performed the task before. INSTEAD, you can teach them the task and appropriate documentation so that they can perform it independently next time.

trait rating scale

-method of rating a person against a set standard, which may be the job description, desired behaviors, or personal traits. The trait rating scale has been one of the most widely used of the many available appraisal methods -experts argue that quality or quantity of work performed is a more accurate performance appraisal method than employee's traits because rating traits invites subjectivity and is also subject to halo and horns-effect errors.

behaviorally anchored rating scale

-uses specific descriptions of actual behaviors to rate various levels of performance -overcomes some of the weaknesses inherent in other rating systems; requires separate rating form for each job classification -many specific examples are defined for each area of responsibility à these examples are given various degrees of importance by ranking them from 1 to 9 - can be used to improve performance and keep employees focused on the vision and mission of the organization -can be time and resource intensive; primarily applicable to physically observable skills rather than conceptual skills.

McClelland's hot stove rule

1.All employees must be forewarned that if they touch the stove (aka break the rule), they will be burned (disciplined). They must be aware of the rule and the punishment. 2.If a person touches the stove, then there will be immediate consequences (getting burned). Discipline will be enforced immediately. 3.If a person touches the stove again and again, they will get burned and disciplined each time. 4.If any other person touches the stove, they will also get burned (consistency). They will also be disciplined (impartial).

Senge's Learning Organisation

1.Systems Thinking: Encourages staff to see themselves as connected to the whole organization. 2.Personal Mastery: Member commitment to improve his or her personal abilities. 3.Team Learning: Collaboration of team members to achieve organizational goal. Values must be established such as trust and openness, acknowledgement that mistakes are part of the learning process, and using non-punitive errors as a learning experience. 4.Mental Models: Foster organization development through diverse thinking. This is a way to promote full potential of individuals to learn. 5. Shared Vision: Having a shared mission allows employees to be more willing to put aside their personal goals and to focus on teamwork and collaboration.

learning organization

An organization skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge and insights.

Delegation

Directing the performance of one or more people to accomplish organizational goals -transferring authority to perform a selected nursing task in a selected situation to a competent individual - the delegating nurse retains accountability for the delegation - important patient management tool - necessary for efficiency in healthcare

steps in progressive discipline

First infraction: Informal reprimand. Manager and employee meet. Discuss the issue. Suggestions for improvement/correction. Second infraction: Written warning. Manager meets with employee to distribute written warning. Review of specific rules/policy violations. Discussion of potential consequences if infractions continue. Third infraction: Employee placed on suspension with or without pay. Time away from work gives the employee opportunity to examine the issues and consider alternatives. Fourth infraction: Employee termination. Follows after multiple warning have been given and employee continues to violate rules and policies.

Scope of Practice: RN

McClelland's Theory of Needs

a theory that states achievement, power, and affiliation are three important needs that help explain motivation •ACHIEVEMENT-ORIENTED: quantity over quality; focus on improving task, transforming ideas into action, taking risks when necessary •AFFILIATION-ORIENTED: quality over quantity; overt productivity is less, focus their energies on families, friends, relationships •POWER-ORIENTED: motivated by power, they want to command attention, get recognition, and control others
