Answer:
Assessment is evidence based
Key elements in the assessment model include:
- Self-assessment by the nurse candidate
- Observation by the assessor of the nurse candidate.
- Interviews by the assessor with the others: peers, persons receiving nursing care, supervisors.
- Analysis by the assessor of all relevant documentation: care plans, patient charts and notes
Sources of evidence may include:
- Observation of performance
- Audit of documents such as care plans and clinical records
- Interviewing of the nurse candidate to reveal intentions and attitudes
- Interviewing colleagues and persons receiving nursing care.
- Testing (for example drug calculations, written assignments, multi choice questions)
- Examining records of previous achievements
