Standard 1: Therapeutic
Relationships
6.07 During goaloriented interactions,
demonstrates empathy,
warmth and respect
Types of Evidence of
achievement
Empathized with a residents
G.V. and G.C. and were able to
care for them as persons, not
just as tasks, and sat and
chatted with them (refer to
personal journals October 713; November 4-10).
Reassured a newly-admitted
resident by talking calmly to
her and emphasizing that she
will be taken care of by the
staff and she wouldnt be alone
(refer to personal journal
November 11-17)
Interacted with a resident who
was known for being gruff and
irritable, and managed to
establish a connection in
preparation for my turn of
caring for him. Although he
became off-limits to students, I
could still walk into his side of
the room and converse with
him, unlike previous occasions
where he just ignored me and
wouldnt even let me get his
vitals (personal journal
December 2-8)

6.01
Recognizes the effect of
ones behaviour on
others e.g.
client/family, staff
Limitation:
Dealing with dementia patients
require patience, therapeutic
skills, and good timing. Ive
learned that with dementia
patients, it is important to
observe if the time is right for
certain things such as
measuring vitals because if she
could get agitated by a simple
procedure and cry out of
confusion, disorientation or
perceive it as painful, thereby
possibly arousing agitation and
anxiety in others in the same
room (see personal journal
entry, October 21-27, 2013).
Standard 2: Transfer of
Theory into Practice
3. 02 Measures vital
signs
Fredesminda has an
understanding of the
importance of taking vital
signs and how to document
them. She has practiced on
her peers and on residents.
She also has learned that
taking vitals on residents
who have dementia may
not always be on her time
line and she will have to go
back and take them later.

3.56
Adheres to Universal
Precautions
Limitation:
3.50
Uses equipment and
materials to provide
support and protection
As written in my journal
(December 2-8, 2013), Ive
had several times to practice
performing transfer lifts and
sit-to-stand so that I feel more
confident working on a client
by myself or with another
classmate when moving clients
from bed to chair, or from bed
to toilet. The time it takes to
perform these supportive and
protective activities becomes
shorter as I continue to gain
confidence with each practice.
Fredesminda is learning on
weekly basis the equipment
that is used on the unit in
looking after the resident.
Her knowledge will
increase over the next few
weeks.

Standard 3:
Professionalism
5.04 Identifies own
learning needs in relation
to client care
Throughout my personal
journals (from October 7 to
date), I have identified areas
for improvement or things that
I failed to do. In the beginning,
I was hesitant about assisting
with ADLS, performing vital
signs and head-to-toe
assessments, and doing
supportive and protective body
transfers using lifts. I was also
terrified about giving
medications because of
possibility of giving the wrong
drug. However, as summarized
in my December 2-8 entry, I
have made considerable
improvements since then.
5.06 Maintains
confidentiality
Standard 4: Ethics
Consult appropriate text:
7.01 Engages in goaloriented communication
(verbal/nonverbal)
7.04 Verbalizes
observations to
appropriate persons
Fredesminda understands
who to report her findings
to. When doing care on a
resident and she has
questions such as which
sling to use she will ask a
care aide. In doing vitals
she documents and takes
variations to the nurse.
