Competency-Based Assessments

1 .
Research the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)’s CJMM. What are some similar frameworks that are also used in nursing?
2 .
Create a comparison table or chart that shows how nurses use critical thinking and clinical judgment. Think about how the skills differ as well as when they may overlap.
3 .
Practice applying TeamSTEPPS to the following clinical scenario: A 72-year-old patient is brought to the ER via ambulance with signs and symptoms of sepsis, including a high fever, rapid respirations, and hypotension. He was found unresponsive at home by his wife, who states he has been sick with “a UTI” for the last week.
4 .
Develop a clinical example of using ISBAR to communicate patient information to providers who are part of the care team.
5 .
Compare the components of a comprehensive ROS versus the focused ROS you may complete on a patient complaining of shortness of breath.
6 .
A 21-year-old patient at the local university presents to the campus health clinic. List the components of the patient’s social history you would ask the patient about.
