What is self regulation - answer✔Self-regulation recognizes that a profession is in the best
position to determine standards for education and practice and to ensure that standards are met
Self-regulation means that the government has granted a professional group, such as registered
nurses, the privilege and responsibility to regulate themselves. In essence, society contracts with
the registered nursing profession to regulate its own members in order to protect the public from
harm that could be caused by registered nurses in the course of their practice.
Nursing education standards - answer✔Each regulatory body has nursing education standards
used to evaluate programs. The review process is a systematic evaluation to determine whether
the provincial/territorial regulatory body will approve or recognize the nursing education
program. This is done to establish the eligibility of program graduates to proceed in the
registration process. Programs that are not approved by the regulatory body cannot assume that
the graduates will be eligible for registration. Those nursing education programs approved or
recognized by a regulatory body may be listed on the website of the regulatory body.
Faculty decisions include how the competencies and standards of practice are placed in different
nursing courses, what courses are required, how courses are structured and sequenced, what
learning activities and practice experiences with clients are required at different stages of the
program, evaluation to ensure safe care with clients, and the policies used to decide whether a
student will pass or fail. Most regulatory bodies in Canada conduct regular reviews of nursing
education programs to determine that all students will learn the standards of practice and
competencies in order to be eligible to register to practice nursing after graduation.

Dr. Laurie Gottlieb - answer✔Dr. Laurie Gottlieb (Gottlieb, 2013) has noted that nursing (and
health care) has historically focused on a deficit model of care. Strengths- based nursing care
This work is based on a model developed by the McGill University nursing program; it signifies
refocusing on individual, family, and community strengths as a foundation for nursing care.
Nursing theories - answer✔Grand nursing theories are highly abstract and serve to frame
disciplinary knowledge that are not specific to any particular areas of practice or client situations
(Higgins & Moore, 2000, p 180). As the concepts addressed in grand theory are highly abstract,
they cannot be tested directly
Midrange or middle-range theories are narrower in scope, serving as bridge between grand
nursing and practice level theories. They are considered to be focused enough to provide
guidance for practice and research; however, they can be used across different client populations
and concepts
comfort theory - answer✔Kolcaba's early works (Kolcaba, 1991; Kolcaba & Kolcaba, 1991)
defined types of comfort (relief, ease, and transcendence) as well as the physical,
psychospiritual, environmental, and social contexts where comfort occurs.
disability - answer✔in a health context, disability is viewed from medical, disability, and social
models. In the medical model, the health care provider is considered powerful, and the client is a
victim, unable to function normally, at a psychological loss without the health care provider
(Breen et al., 2008). The disability model views the client as the result of a tragedy to be adjusted
to and overcome, oppressed because of inability (Breen et al. 2008; Freund, 2001). In contrast,
the social model of disability focuses on the limits that have been placed on the client based on
the space (environment, context) where the client interacts.The social model is concerned with
the patient's relationship to others in the environment. One aspect is whether space facilitates
those relationships or not.
self change behaviour - answer✔An action the client is willing to employ to meet health
outcomes.
self efficacy behaviour - answer✔The judgment a person makes of his or her personal ability to
organize and carry out a particular course of action.
professional competencies - answer✔Professional competencies provide benchmarks for safe
and competent professional practice. Professional guidelines require application of judgment
according to professional competencies and standards; provincial and territorial guidelines are
not benchmarks for nursing regulation; hospital standards are not benchmarks for nursing
regulation.
