The skills of decision making and reflective practice are again emphasised, with students being given the opportunity to gather, analyse and interpret data in the preparation of nursing care plans and nursing interventions. Students will continue to utilise a problem solving process introduced in Clinical Nursing Practice 1 and will apply this within the clinical setting.

• Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of illness as they relate to nursing practice;
• Describe the effects of hospitalisation on individuals, and suggest strategies to resolve any problems that may occur;
