readily transfer knowledge gained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A
competent caregiver understands the organization andspecific care required by the type of clients
(e.g., surgical, oncology, or orthopedic clients).
This caregiver is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursing care and establish
long-range goals. A caregiver who has had some level of experience with the situation is an
advanced beginner. This experience may only be observational in nature, but the caregiver is
able to identifymeaningful aspects or principles of nursing care.
