Competency-Based Assessments

1 .
Break into small groups with fellow students and role play possible nurse-patient scenarios. For example, a nurse is educating a patient on a new medication. The interactions should be realistic and the “nurse” should attempt to maximize therapeutic communication strategies and minimize nontherapeutic strategies when dealing with the “patient.” Have someone keep track of therapeutic vs nontherapeutic techniques used and see if you can improve your interactions over time. Were you able to improve your communication? Why or why not?
2 .
Review the competency checklists for this chapter and have a peer or instructor assess your performance of the tasks. You can find the checklists on the Student resources tab of your book page on openstax.org.
