1. What is the Multistate Licensure Compact, and what are its implications on nursing?
The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows nurses with a Multistate Licensure to practice physically, telephonically or electronically in their home state and other original NLC states (Original NLC,2018). With the Multistate Licensure Compact nurses are able to provide care to patients in other NLC states without having to obtain additional licenses (ENLC Implementation, 2018).
2. Differentiate between delegating and directing.
With the directing style the manager tells the employees what to do, how it is supposed to be done and when to have it done by. The directing style is appropriate when employees lack experience and don’t know what to do (Management Styles, 2018). The delegating style is when the manager directs or discusses what needs to be accomplished and when it must be done (Management Styles, 2018).

What is the difference between standards of nursing practice and standards of care?
According to Melanie T. Gura RN MSN CNS CCDS FHRS FAHA, the scope of practice refers to the professional activities defined under state law. The scope of practice for nurses is determined by each states nurse practice act. Standard of care refers to the provision of services in the manner of consistent care. The standard of care has set a minimum criterion for job proficiency (Melanie T. Gura, 2008).
4. Discuss professional accountability and responsibility and their implications for nursing
I am personally for the Nursing Licensure Compact because it helps remove obstacles that some nurse’s face depending on their career or specialty choice. One example of this would be a traveling nurse. Evans (2015), states that the purpose of establishing the compact was to address barriers to practice and create uniformity within nursing. Personally, I believe the Compact does this because it allows nurses to work across state lines and they do not have to worry about paying extra fees and thoughtless requirements on top of it all. One issue that arises regarding the Nursing Licensure Compact is the inconsistency that it causes.
In this assignment I will be discussing the ways that health and social care settings use national initiatives to promote anti-discriminatory practice. An anti-discriminatory practice is preventing discriminations by taking action against this, and this includes race, class, gender, and behaviour towards each other. All employees promote this because it promotes equality for service users and staff by removing discrimination. National initiatives are a legal and an official document and is also a part of anti-discriminatory practice to prevent discrimination and there are policies and legislations that are used to protect people from discrimination in their daily lives, and health and social care settings use national initiatives to ensure

What are the guidelines to accepting a patient assignment? The first question that one must understand before becoming an LPN relates to the guidelines that he/she must follow when accepting a patient assignment.

In the leadership in care delivery course, we were assigned to a hospital to perform clinical hours and provide care to four patients. Additionally, the purpose of this paper is to explain and provide examples on how our patient care included the concepts of Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) competencies, delegation, handoff reporting, and a reflection of the clinical experience. Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) Competencies QSEN consists of six competencies: patient centered care, quality improvement, teamwork and collaboration, safety, informatics, and evidence based practice. To provide patient-centered care, I had to educate the patient when administering medications on why the patient was taking the medication and side effects. Care had to be individualized with each patient and it included providing respect with his or her decisions in their care.
First, ANA (2022) notes that these standards of practice act as a framework for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care. Secondly, these standards of care guide healthcare practices and ensure that patients receive safe care for positive health outcomes. When nurses religiously follow these guidelines, they make better decisions like the patient needs assessment, care implementation, incorporation of patient preferences, and outcome evaluation (ANA, 2022). These standards of practice also act as reference points for nurses to evaluate their performances (Quinn et al., 2019) because adhering to them is essential to guarantee that nurses meet their professional responsibilities and
Registered nurses are required to deliver wide-range nursing attention and treatment to all persons in a healthcare setup (American Nurses ' Association, 2000). Notably, they have to offer emergency care and guarantee the safe execution of treatment. It is mandatory for nurses to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the laws and regulations that are in line with their profession. Additionally,

The Model- Situational Leadership Situational leadership was a leadership theory explained long back in 1969 by Dr Paul Hersey. It is a model for all leaders, managers, teachers, employees, etc for effectively influencing others. The original situational leadership by Dr Hersey is based on the relationship between leaders and employees, and this in turn serves as a framework to analyse each situation which is based on: ● The amount of guidance and direction a leader gives ● The amount of emotional support a leader provides ● How ready the employees are in performing any specific activity or task. Thus on the basis of this we can identify three important steps of the situational leadership model: ● To identify the most important tasks/activities/priorities
Professional Standards Mini Paper: The Practice of Nursing Professionally In British Columbia (BC), Registered Nurses (RN) and Nurse Practitioners (NP) currently hold the privilege to be a self-regulated profession through the authority of the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) (CRNBC, 2012,p.2).
