Competency number and letter: L-2-5


Demonstrate knowledge and ability to adapt care to provide optimum
nutrition for pediatric client.
One significant learning experience in this course is about how to feed
and provide food the infant effectively when the infant begin to eat
solid food from 6 to 12 months. The textbook of Perry et al., (2013)
give me all the information in detail that I need to know about to
provide care or educate the mother:

PROFICIENCY IN
THE CHOSEN

CLPNA

The textbook give all the information about the feeding technique for
the infant from 6 to 12 months old in detail: what should be done or
not at the certain age and time to avoid any complicated. The textbook
also explain why the mother should not introduce solid fruit, juice or
water before the infant is 6 months old. On the other hand, the CLPN
competency give the big picture about what PN can do or expect to do
within their scope of practice. As the result, the textbook and the
CLPN competency work together very well.
The rate proficiency for this chosen competency would be excellent.
After reading the textbook, I have the confident that I can apply all the
useful information to the real life when I become a nurse. I believe as
a nurse, you need to have the knowledge about your job and know
what you can do to provide care to the patient safely.

This experience is playing an important role for me to use in my


current and future practice. As a student PN, this will prepare and give
me the technique to feed my own kids or share them with my friends
and family member. In the future practice as a PN, I will give all the
necessary information to the mother or to feed the infant when the
infant is in the hospital. I will also document all the finding and the
result in the chart.
