Nursing ARTS - Midterm Review: Modules
1-4 exam with complete solution
Define Nursing
profession that focuses on the holistic person receiving healthcare services and
provides a unique contribution to the prevention of illness and maintenance of health
Discuss the historical development of professional nursing and nursing education in
Canada
Nursing education began as understanding nursing history and in the 70s changed to
the study of nursing theory. By the 90s, the roles of influential nurses in the past
emerged and the focus shifted to "nursing leaders". Work is happening now to
incorporate the history of nursing into nursing education curriculum as "critical to
advancing the profession in the interests of the Canadian public". Nursing began in
1639 and the Hotel-Dieu de Quebec, which was the only hospital in North America.
Nursing care was the sole weapon against infectious disease. Indigenous women
helped with their own people and the newcomers in providing care and knowledge with
herbal remedies, midwives, and nurses. The first nurses to provide care in the New
France (Quebec) were male attendants at Port Royal in Acadia.

Describe how the Health Professions Act regulates health professionals in Alberta
Councils are the governing bodies of the regulatory colleges. Their role is to manage
and conduct their college's activities on behalf of their members. Councils make
, professional regulations and bylaws, adopt standards of practice and codes of ethics,
set registration and practice permit fees, appoint college officials, and hear reviews or
appeals of registration decisions, practice permit renewal decisions and hearing
decisions.
There are numerous ways to ensure public input and accountability in the governance
of health professions under the HPA. One of the key provisions to support professional
accountability is through public membership on college councils.
All college councils include public members to ensure the public is represented and
Albertans' views are taken into account. Public members have full voting status as
members on a college council so the public has significant input into decisions of the
profession.
The HPA was recently amended to increase the number of public members appointed
to regulatory college councils, complaint review committees and hearing tribunals. The
change gives Albertans a stronger voice and greater role in professional oversight.
Effective April 1, 2021, the number of public members increased from 25% to 50% on
each of these committees.
Describe the scope of practice of a Licensed Practical Nurse in Alberta
Focused approach in foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and clinical judgment to
suit the LPNs role of today. LPNs have the knowledge, skill, judgment, and abilities to
contribute in all phases of the continuum of care from prevention to acute treatment and
management, to long term and palliative care. LPNs may have independent,
interdependent, and often overlapping roles on the healthcare team.
Describe the role of the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) in
regulating nursing practice
The CLPNA's role includes:
· sets education, registration and renewal requirements;
· oversees compliance with healthcare legislation and regulations;
· approves and reviews practical nurse diploma, refresher, and advance training
· sets and enforces practice, conduct and professional standards;
· established and maintains the continuing competence program; and
· is responsible for complaints and discipline.
Define nursing theory and discuss how it informs nursing practice
They provide a systematic application of nursing knowledge in an expanding array of
contexts.
Explore the purpose of a conceptual framework
Theories constitute one aspect of disciplinary knowledge and create vital linkages to
how inquiry is approached. Theories provide nurses with a perspective from which to
view client situations, a way to organize data, and a method of analyzing and
interpreting information to bring about coherent and informed nursing practice.
NURSING conceptual frameworks are also called 'nursing models' or 'nursing theories'.
Derived from philosophy and scientific approach.
