The assessment provides students with a discipline specific case study drawn from the Nurses and Midwives Tribunal of New South Wales professional disciplinary proceedings. Details The assessment requires students to use a set of guided questions to analyse a discipline specific case study drawn from the Nurses and Midwives Board of New South Wales publication, Adrian, A., &Chiarella, M.

What were the consequences of action/inaction in this case? Your answer should include: • A concise summary outline from the Case Book (2010) of the consequences of the actions or inactions by the nurse or midwife concerned in relation to professional practice. • The Case Book (2010) describes professional conduct under sub-headings in each chapter such as knowledge, skill, judgment, care, boundary violations and ethical conduct. Students may find these sub-headings useful in writing their summary of the case. 2. What professional standards apply/were breached in this situation? • Your answer will involve reading through the NMBA Codes, Standards and Guides to identify the relevant statements that apply in the discipline specific case study. • Provide a clear and concise rationale for your selection. Your answer must be specific to the case study context. The NMBA documents are available on the vUWS site for the unit. 3. What professional behaviours may have made a difference in this situation? • Your discussion needs to be focused and relevant to the case study. In writing your answer, consider such contributory factors as their level of engagement, personal attributes, knowledge base, clinical experience, and evidence of clinical reasoning, their clinical actions, and whether the nurse or midwife involved evaluated or reflected on the care they provided. • See Dempsey et al. (2014) Chapter 14, and read through the sections on the ‘context of thoughtful practice’ and ‘clinical reasoning’ pp. 254-263. See also the strategies that nurses and midwives can apply that are listed in the Case Book (2010) p. 323. 4. What do you learn from this case study about your own preparedness for professional practice? Your answer should relate to the scope of practice for a graduate nurse or midwife.
