Competency 8
This assignment helped gain
knowledge on how health policy can
impact nursing. The use of restraint
in nursing facility was considered as
a source of psychological and
physical harm as per the Federal
Nursing Home Restraint Act in 1987.
I recognize that health care policy
can impact my role as a nurse and
nurse educator, and I demonstrated
my knowledge clearly in this

plan of care for the patient presented
in the clinical by using evidence-
based interventions on how to
manage urinary symptoms and
physical symptoms in the patient.
SLO 4- I applied my consultation
and collaborative skills to formulate
specific interventions for the patient.
I also used communication skills to
provide proper education to the
patient about medication regiment,
side-effects and needed follow-up
care.
SLO 2- For this assignment I was
able to develop scholarly inquiry to
gather evidence that these
technologies implementations
promote patient safety in regard to
restraint usage in nursing home.
SLO 5- I integrated the concepts of
patient safety and restraint prevention
by emphasizing that restraint
assessment should be completed
prior to restraint usage and ensure
that proper documentation and
ongoing monitoring are in place
using the EMR and MDS which will
promote health outcome.
