    Study Notes

    Entry-Level Registered Nurse (RN) Competencies and Professional Responsibilities

    • Entry-level RNs work within the registered nursing scope of practice and seek guidance when encountering situations outside their ability.
    • They must have the skills and abilities to attain entry-level competencies and are prepared as generalists to practice safely, competently, and ethically in diverse settings.
    • Entry-level RNs are educated at the baccalaureate level, with a strong foundation in nursing theory, health sciences, humanities, research, and ethics.
    • They practice autonomously within legislation, practice standards, ethics, and scope of practice in their jurisdiction.
    • Entry-level RNs apply critical thinking throughout all aspects of practice, organized under 9 roles including clinician, professional, communicator, collaborator, coordinator, leader, advocate, educator, and scholar.
    • Licensing and registration of nurses are necessary to improve standards of practice and education, with the authority to remove those found to be incompetent or unethical from practice.
    • Licensure is the exclusive legal right to practice a profession, while registration ensures a minimum level of safe practice and requires evidence of expanding knowledge and competence.
    • Registration exams like the NCLEX-RN contribute to patient safety by testing entry-level knowledge necessary for safe care at the beginning of a nurse's career.
    • The exams focus on areas such as pain management, medication administration, basic care, infection control, and confidentiality of patient information.
    • Nurses have ethical and legal responsibility to maintain confidentiality and privacy of client health information, governed by provincial legislation such as PHIPA and PIPEDA.
    • PHIPA permits sharing personal health information among healthcare team members, while PIPEDA requires organizations to obtain consent for collecting, using, or disclosing personal information and protect it with appropriate safeguards.
    • Privacy and confidentiality belong to the patient, and confidentiality is the duty of the healthcare provider, with guidelines on maintaining them.

    Professional Conduct and Legal Obligations in Nursing

    • The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) defines professional misconduct as including failure to maintain standards of practice, working while impaired, abusive conduct, theft, and failure to obtain informed consent and breach of confidentiality.
    • Other grounds for professional misconduct include failure to meet legal/professional obligations, conflict of interest, inappropriate business practices, disgraceful, dishonourable and unprofessional conduct, finding of professional misconduct in another jurisdiction, and sexual abuse.
    • Nurses, employers, facility operators, and other individuals working with nurses are required to report instances where a nurse poses a serious risk of harm to patients, is suspected of sexual abuse, is incompetent in their care, is incapacitated by a physical or mental condition, is terminated or resigns under investigation, or has had their privileges revoked or restricted.
    • Sexual abuse of a patient by a nurse is defined as having physical sexual relations with a patient, touching a patient in a sexual manner when not required, behaving in a sexual manner toward a patient, or making remarks of a sexual nature to a patient.
    • Nurses have legal responsibilities to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of client health information, including practices related to personal health information, knowledge consent, substitute decision-makers, clients' rights to access and amend their health information, and the potential for harm in disclosure without consent.
    • Regulatory law in nursing is established to protect the public/patients' rights, set legal boundaries of the job, protect nurses from liability, and govern standards of care and nursing practice acts.
    • The Regulated Health Professions Statute Law Amendment Act, 2009 expands the services of regulated health care professionals, improves patient safety, and strengthens the health care system by requiring health colleges to work together, making team-based care a key component, and creating a process to ensure new drug prescribing powers are used safely.
    • Canadian law is divided into two main categories: public law, which is concerned with relations between individuals and the state, and private law, which is concerned with disputes between individuals.
    • A tort is a civil wrong committed against a person or property, and is classified as intentional.
