Rationale

The purpose of this essay is to identify the relevant key skills that have been used throughout my eight week learning disability community placement. These skills will be explained and analyzed in terms of evidence based practice (EBP). A rationale will be given for these chosen skills which will underpin an appropriate therapeutic intervention for a particular patient group. Through a case study this essay will show development, implementation and evaluation of these skills in relation to client care. The case study will involve cognitive and intellectual skills gained through my second year modules linking in several competencies. Informed consent was gained in compliance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, code of conduct, (2008). Relating to client confidentiality, pseudonyms will be used to ensure confidentially as stated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC; 2008). The names and locations of people involved have been changed in order to protect the right of confidentiality. For the purpose of this essay the client will be called 'Sally', a name chosen at random and having no significance to either the client or author. The assessment and care planning process will be looked at in great detail, including the assessment tools that were used, while still recognizing the socio-cultural aspects of care. A discussion of how the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) works together with the patient to provide the care will also be looked at.
