3 Aim of the Portfolio of Evidence The aim of the portfolio of evidence is for you to demonstrate the achievement of your competence to prescribe in the context of practice. How the aim is achieved The aim is achieved in a number of ways which include; mapping your developing competencies to the standards outlined in the Non-Medical Prescribing Competency Assessment Document (Appendix One) evidencing reflective practice to demonstrate closure of the theory practice gap in respect of prescribing applying numeracy skills to prescribing practice demonstrating knowledge, skill and competence in respect of prescribing for children When the aim is achieved The aim is successfully achieved when; Your prescribing mentor / practice teacher signs your statement of clinical competence to undertake prescribing as a community nurse prescriber. Their decision in this respect will be based on the evidence you produce within this portfolio as well as their observations and assessments of you in practice. You must therefore meet all the required competencies at the final practice assessment. The module tutor experienced & competent in prescribing confirms your demonstration of knowledge, skill and competence in respect of prescribing (for HV this must be relative to prescribing for children). The portfolio as an item of assessment Formative assessment: You will have an initial and mid-point formative assessment of your competencies conducted by your prescribing mentor or practice teacher. Your prescribing mentor or practice teacher will also give you on-going formative feedback regarding the development of your portfolio as well as the progress you are making in practice. Your portfolio will be also be reviewed by your personal tutor during a visit to the practice placement and will be submitted once to the University for formative assessment. It is very important that you respond to any formative feedback given prior to submitting your portfolio for summative assessment (Please see the note below*) Summative Assessment: You will have a summative assessment of your competencies conducted by your prescribing mentor or practice teacher. You will then submit your portfolio to the university where the module tutor experienced & competent in prescribing (for children for Health Visiting) will assess the evidence of your knowledge, skill and competence in respect of prescribing. Successful completion of the portfolio of 3

4 evidence is worth 20% of the overall mark for the Community Nurse Prescribing (V100) module. *Please note: The NMC stipulate that if you fail to correctly answer any question that may result in direct harm to a patient / client, you must be referred. This includes failure to ask about medication history, allergies, any over the counter medication, or incorrect dosage / prescribing of an unlicensed product. Engaging in reflective practice The importance of reflection as a tool for closing the theory / practice gap, improving your knowledge, skills and performance and consequently patient / client care will have been re-iterated to you before you undertake your practice placement. You will also have been re-orientated to a number of reflective theories and models widely used in practice. It is important to acknowledge that there are a number of contexts in which you may usefully engage in reflective practice. Consequently, there are also a number of ways that you may evidence reflective practice. These include; Keeping and submitting a reflective log relating to prescribing experiences. You will find a template for a reflective log in appendix one, feel free to adapt this or to develop your own. Use this as a basis to evidence and reflect upon your learning. This reflective evidence will help to; identify your achievement of the learning outcomes in University and in practice, direct your subsequent learning (for example, through the use of learning contracts or independent study), assist you in evaluating your progress, and inform your Mentor s final verification of competence to prescribe within your area of practice. These entries could also form the basis of reflective discussions with your prescribing mentor or practice teacher or be used as a basis for an in depth, written critical reflection using a reflective model. Reflecting on your exposure to prescribing through discussion with your prescribing mentor or practice teacher. Such reflection may take place informally or formally (during supervision for example). Keeping and submitting a record of reflective discussion either through your reflective log, supervision record or other means is recommended Reflecting on your prescribing experiences in discussion with student colleagues (during group supervision for example). Keeping and submitting a record of reflective discussion either through your reflective log, group supervision record or other means is recommended Completing and submitting a written, critical reflection using a reflective model. Whilst all the above are important, the latter is particularly valuable because critical reflection, that uses evidence and literature to underpin your reflection will help you achieve in depth learning and may help to close the theory / practice gap relatively quickly and effectively. Although the reflective essay required for this module is submitted and assessed separately to the portfolio, consider including a copy within the portfolio as evidence of critical reflection. It is impossible to be prescriptive regarding the type and number of reflections to include in your portfolio. However, there must be sufficient evidence to satisfy your prescribing mentor or practice teacher that you have used reflective practice as a 4

5 tool for helping you to meet your prescribing competencies. Reflective practice should chart your journey through the module. So, the nature and amount of evidence of reflection is a matter for on-going discussion and agreement with your prescribing practice teacher or mentor as your development is assessed. Remember you must use pseudonyms for individuals, families and groups to maintain and protect confidentiality. Student handbook Applying numeracy skills in prescribing practice: As a condition for gaining a place on this programme you were required to undertake and successfully complete an online numeracy test. This demonstrates that you have useful numeracy skills which you now need to be able to apply to community nurse prescribing. There will be many opportunities for you to be exposed to the use of numeracy in prescribing and to apply and develop your numeracy skills. It may be useful to reflect upon these and to action plan any on-going numeracy needs. Numeracy activities are available on Moodle. The following questions have been formulated in conjunction with prescribing mentors and practice teachers. Please demonstrate your numeracy skills, evidencing how you have arrived at your answer. Remember, the NMC stipulate that if you fail to correctly answer any question that may result in direct harm to a patient / client, you must be referred. This includes incorrect dosage. Question 1 A patient is requires 300mg of drug A to be taken at breakfast and lunchtime and a dose of 450mg in the evening. How many grams per day does the patient take? Question 2 Drug B is prescribed as 2.5mls twice daily for 2 weeks. How many mls of the drug should be prescribed? Question 3 A patient requires a wound to be dressed on alternate days. The regime consists of dressing C ( 1.55) and dressing D ( 3.50). How many dressings need to be prescribed for eight dressing changes and how much is the total cost? Prescribing for children and young people: The NMC stipulate that all nurse / midwife independent / supplementary prescribing programmes incorporate an additional learning outcome to ensure that on successful completion of the programme you can take an appropriate history, undertake a clinical assessment and make an appropriate diagnosis having considered the legal, cognitive, emotional & physical differences between children and adults. In addition the NMC stipulate that the assessment must demonstrate your recognition of the unique implications and developmental context of the 5

6 anatomical and psychological differences between neonates, children and young people. As the NMC state that any assessment should take place in the work context, you are required to evidence this additional learning outcome within the portfolio of evidence. In support of your learning in respect of prescribing for children and young people: It is strongly recommended that you gain exposure to prescribing for children and young people in the context of your work setting. If this is difficult you may need to consider spending time with a nurse who regularly prescribes for children and young people in a community setting. Consider therefore discussing with your mentor / practice teacher the possibility of a spoke placement with a nurse prescriber who may be working as, a community based nurse practitioner, a paediatric community nurse, a practice nurse, a community staff nurse on a health visiting team with or a health visitor. When planning such a spoke placement it is important to clearly state what you are hoping to achieve, as some activities undertaken by community nurse prescribers are more likely to result in exposure to prescribing than others. In this section you must evidence learning outcome 10: In respect of children, take an appropriate history, undertake a clinical assessment and make an appropriate diagnosis having considered the legal, cognitive, emotional and physical differences between children and adults. Read the following scenario and answer the questions below. NB There is no specified word count You are undertaking a routine, two month development check for John. During the assessment, his mother (Jane) identifies that John has developed a dry, redden area in the crease of his neck. On examination you identify and diagnose infantile eczema and need to prescribe accordingly. Consider the following: Question 1: How would you adapt your consultation and communication style to take an appropriate history from John? Underpin the rationale for your approach with supporting literature. Question 2: What factors would you need to consider when undertaking a clinical assessment of John and why? It may help to consider the legal, policy and ethical aspects that underpin clinical assessment in respect of an infant. Question 3: Explain how you would be able to make a diagnosis of eczema. Underpin your explanation with reference to the evidence base Question 4: What treatment could you prescribe for John? Justify your choice with reference to the evidence base, consider cost and efficiency. 6

7 Question 5: How would you ensure that the product prescribed was effective and appropriate? Finally: Write a prescription for the product you are to prescribe using a sample FP10 Guidance for writing a prescription: Please note the additional guidance re prescription writing produced by the NMC in the Standards of proficiency for nurse and midwife prescribers (NMC, 2006 p 43) Prescriptions must be written legibly and in ink, they should be dated, state the full name and address of the patient / client and be signed in ink by the prescriber. It is a legal requirement to state the age of a child under 12 years for a prescription of a prescription only medicine (POM) The names of drugs and preparations must be written clearly using approved titles only and not abbreviations. For further guidance on writing a prescription, see prescription writing in the British National Formulary Computer-generated prescriptions may be used; however you must be competent to write a prescription by hand. Remember, the NMC stipulate that if you fail to correctly answer any question that may result in direct harm to a patient / client, you must be referred. This includes failure to ask about medication history, allergies, any over the counter medication, or incorrect dosage / prescribing of an unlicensed product. Furthermore in respect of prescribing for children and young people if there is any doubt about your ability to demonstrate knowledge skill and competence in any of the areas stipulated, further training in relevant aspects of the legal, cognitive, emotional and physical differences between children and adults and in taking an appropriate history, undertaking a clinical assessment and making an appropriate diagnosis for a child, will need to be undertaken prior to completing a prescribing course. 7

8 Reflective Log Use this as a basis to evidence and reflect upon your learning. This evidence will help to; identify your achievement of the learning outcomes in University and in practice, direct your subsequent learning (for example, through the use of learning contracts or independent study), assist you in evaluating your progress, and inform your Mentor s final verification of competence to prescribe within your area of practice. These entries could also form the basis of reflective discussions with your prescribing mentor or practice teacher or be used as a basis for an in depth, written critical reflection using a reflective model.
