1. Define Nursing: profession that focuses on the holistic person receiving health- care
services and provides a unique contribution to the prevention of illness and maintenance of
health
2. Discuss the historical development of professional nursing and nursing education in
Canada: Nursing education began as understanding nursing history and in the 70s changed
to the study of nursing theory. By the 90s, the roles of influential nurses in the past emerged
and the focus shifted to "nursing leaders". Work is happening now to incorporate the history of
nursing into nursing education curriculum as "critical to advancing the profession in the
interests of the Canadian public". Nursing began in 1639 and the Hotel-Dieu de Quebec,
which was the only hospital in North America. Nursing care was the sole weapon against
infectious disease. Indigenous women helped with their own people and the newcomers in
providing care and knowledge with herbal remedies, midwives, and nurses. The first nurses to
provide care in the New France (Quebec) were male attendants at Port Royal in Acadia.
3. Discuss the impact of the Canadian Health Act on health care delivery: -
Accessibility (Reasonable access, regardless of ability to pay); Universality(Free of
discrimination); Public Administration (Operate on non-profit basis through public authority);
Comprehensiveness (Cover medically necessary services); Sustainabil- ity and Portability
(Coverage across Canada for insured residents)
4. Describe how the Health Professions Act regulates health professionals in Alberta:
Councils are the governing bodies of the regulatory colleges. Their role is to manage and
conduct their college's activities on behalf of their members. Councils make professional
regulations and bylaws, adopt standards of practice and codes of ethics, set registration and
practice permit fees, appoint college officials, and hear reviews or appeals of registration
decisions, practice permit renewal decisions and hearing decisions.
There are numerous ways to ensure public input and accountability in the gover- nance of
health professions under the HPA. One of the key provisions to support professional
accountability is through public membership on college councils.
All college councils include public members to ensure the public is represented and Albertans'
views are taken into account. Public members have full voting status as members on a college
council so the public has significant input into decisions of the profession.
The HPA was recently amended to increase the number of public members ap- pointed to
regulatory college councils, complaint review committees and hearing tribunals. The change
gives Albertans a stronger voice and greater role in profes- sional oversight. Effective April 1,
2021, the number of public members increased from 25% to 50% on each of these
committees.

5. Describe the scope of practice of a Licensed Practical Nurse in Alberta: Fo- cused
approach in foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and clinical judgment to suit the LPNs role
of today. LPNs have the knowledge, skill, judgment, and abilities to contribute in all phases of the
continuum of care from prevention to acute treatment and management, to long term and
palliative care. LPNs may have independent, interdependent, and often overlapping roles on
the healthcare team.
6. Describe the role of the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA)
in regulating nursing practice: The CLPNA's role includes:
· sets education, registration and renewal requirements;
· oversees compliance with healthcare legislation and regulations;
· approves and reviews practical nurse diploma, refresher, and advance training
· sets and enforces practice, conduct and professional standards;
· established and maintains the continuing competence program; and
· is responsible for complaints and discipline.
7. Define nursing theory and discuss how it informs nursing practice: They provide a
systematic application of nursing knowledge in an expanding array of contexts.
8. Explore the purpose of a conceptual framework: Theories constitute one as- pect of
disciplinary knowledge and create vital linkages to how inquiry is approached. Theories provide
nurses with a perspective from which to view client situations, a way to organize data, and a
method of analyzing and interpreting information to bring about coherent and informed nursing
practice.
NURSING conceptual frameworks are also called 'nursing models' or 'nursing theories'.
Derived from philosophy and scientific approach.
9. Practice-based theories: derived from the practice setting;
Florence Nightingale - "Notes on Nursing" describe conditions to promote health and healing;
environment, clean living areas, fresh air and presence of light; McGill model = focused on
promoting health; health concerns approached with changes in lifestyle; family goals
10. Needs theories: - representing a collection of needs; the nature of people; needs, drives
and competencies were thought to drive people; Maslow's hierarchy of needs was one of the
best known and most influential;
Virginia Henderson - compilation of 14 basic human needs = breathe, eat and drink, eliminate
waste products, move and maintain posture, rest and sleep, dress and undress, maintain body
temperature, be clean, avoid danger, communicate, worship, work, play, and learn; assisting
(sick or well) in performance of activities that contribute to health, recovery, or a peaceful
death; ROLE of NURSE - assist client in performance of those activities
Dorothy Orem = ways in which people are responsible for meeting universal self-care
