thanks

well they just said look into the theory but from what I have read, I do believe that is what they are referring to. I guess it is important information to know when you are working in aged care.

Hi all, Before you go jumping down my throat about homework and do it your self - this is not for homework. I just started working at a large aged care place with many residents, while I was on my shift last night they were talking about peplaus theory and asked me to look into it, I have a faint understanding of it - how it builds a relationship between a nurse and a resident, improving life quality for a resident. I have looked up some websites but its like a massive cobweb. Just wondering if someone could give me a more simple explanation of the theory. Thanks

no, just a discussion

i know the 500g is a large amount hey. Yes i think an LPN is equivalent to an enrolled nurse or EN, im only just through my first semester so its all kinda new to me. but as working wise an EN would have to be supervised under an RN at all times, im assuming its kinda the same over there. A student EN is studying to be an EN a EN has finished studies and registered as an EN but both still have to be supervised by RN. hope that helps ;-)

I dont know why you are all getting so involved with this question. It was just a general discussion, not homework, nothing serious and was NOT a typo. If you really want a solution to figure out, wait until i return back to school and im sure i will have many assignments that need to be discussed and answered! But in the mean time just chill :-)

Thanks everyone for the comments. No this was not homework at all. We are on holidays over here! Just a general conversation/problem solving issue, just a scenario.

just a general discussion not homework

well im glad you saw that cause i didnt haha im hoping t is a typo. yes 500g admisistered and prescribed 4/24 pm

i understand, is this classed as a general thing or is there actual guidelines saying that en has to let the rn know, even when they are confident in meds, the med is prescribed to the pt and would be on pt records. i have tried to look at guidelins etc but nothing is really giving me a straight answer, only accountable for their actions.

Thanks. It doesnt make much sense to me either? Would an RN have to be told prior to giving something simple as a paracetamol?

If an EN who has completed and passed the meds subject was to give a patient 500g of oral paracetamol because of a headache which was prescribed, Why would she be reprimanded by the RN for not consulting with her prior.

Thank you Esme12 and all that helped.

Thank you for the reply's. Yes I am from australia. As for texts and resources i have nursing ethics and ethics and law for health professions, i have read over them both but nothing is really coming together. So i guess for my answer all i have so far is - what is at stake in the outcome, and what values are to be respected? For nurses to hold a professional manner?
