Competency Map
I recently learned about nurse that didn’t follow the standards of professional accountability when it came to medication administration and the out come resulted in death of the patient and much pain and suffering for that family after the loss of their family member. The nurse should have followed her 5 rights to medication administration. Right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, right time. In this instance this nurse overrode the pyxis and pulled vecuronium when she was supposed to pull versed. This mistake could have been prevented if the nurse followed the standards of professional accountability when it comes to patient safety and medication administration safety checks. Nurses are given great responsibility when it comes to caring for the lives of others, the accountability that the general public places in nurses is so great that nurses must always follow the standard of professional accountability in their day to day work in order to create a safe practice that becomes their second nature. Yes, the system that is in place could often times fail a nurse resulting in a sentinel event although, as a licensed nurse it is imperative to fall back on always using safe patient standards no matter where you work in order to protect patient safety and the RN license.

Context
Nurses may employ multiple leadership styles. When thinking
about an appropriate leadership style, take into consideration the personal
style, the situation being addressed, the environment in which the situation is
taking place, and the other people who may be involved. Anticipating potential
situations you are likely to encounter in your professional life, as well as
devising an effective strategy in advance to handle them, can reduce stress and
promote confidence on the job.

Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Use the Capella library and the Internet to research change
theory, leadership, and communication strategies. Use the Suggested Resources
to research leadership and communication concepts and change theory.
The challenge in this assessment is to create a response
plan for several intervention scenarios.
There are three deliverables required for this assessment.
Rationale for this assessment:
Nurse leaders solve problems or resolve conflict on a daily
basis. Understanding how change theory can be applied to a situation and
examining various types of interventions in advance can relieve pressure on the
nurse leader and improve the workplace environment and outcomes. Rehearsing
potential interventions provides a mental toolkit on which to rely during
stressful times.
Your management training workshop continues:
The second day of HR’s Nursing Leadership Workshop is
designed to help you identify and practice effective responses and
interventions to common problems and situations. Participants are presented
with three scenarios and must create a response plan for each scenario, in the
form of a 1–2 page outline.
Deliverables: Submit three Response Plans to complete this
assessment.
Choose 3 of the 5 Intervention Scenarios linked in the
Required Resources for this assessment.
For each scenario you choose, develop a separate Response
Plan in the form of a 1–2 page outline.
Label each outline using the example below:
Example: Response Plan for School Nurse.
Instructions
Analyze each Intervention Scenario and describe the
leadership, communication, and management strategies you believe would be most
effective for each situation.
Use the following subheadings to organize your Response Plan
outline for each situation.
Change Theory: Explain concepts of change theory and how it
can be used as a tool to manage situations.
Identify elements of change theory that fit best with the
scenario.
How can you use change theory to deal with conflict?
Strategies and Rationale: Describe an effective leadership
style you would employ to address a problem.
Explain the rationale for choosing a leadership strategy to
solve a problem.
Identify interventions to address the problem.
Expected Outcome: Describe how outcomes or success of the
style selected for each situation could be measured.
Describe how you could determine improved outcomes or
measure success of the leadership style selected for each situation.
What might go wrong and how would you deal with that?
Professional Standards: Explain how professional and legal
standards guide the effective nurse leader when making decisions.
Additional Requirements
Written communication: Written communication should be free
of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be
formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
Length: Each outline should be 1–2 pages double-spaced.
