3.3 The graduate nurse helps patients become aware of their personal resources, informs them of the resources available within their environment and helps them deal with their specific health-related situation/context. The graduate nurse pays particular attention to patients who are vulnerable or at risk. In co-operation with other health professionals, the graduate nurse engages in activities intended to correct practices and policies that may lead to health and social problems. 4. THERAPEUTIC PROCESS Principle: All patients who know the diagnosis of their health-related problem have a need to be cared for, treated, informed, reassured and comforted. The graduate nurse assesses the patient’s physical and mental status, and in collaboration with the patient determines the nursing care and treatment required to maintain, restore or improve their health or to help the patient die with dignity. The graduate nurse encourages patients to participate, to the best of their abilities, in the care and treatments stipulated in the therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate nurse ensures that these interventions are carried out, provides patients with the assistance they require and monitors their responses throughout the therapeutic process. Elements of Practice: 4.1 The graduate nurse assesses the patient’s physical and mental health status and formulates the therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate nurse demonstrates effective clinical skills and makes appropriate decisions based on patients’ health related situations.

The graduate nurse intervenes as the situation requires, makes appropriate clinical decisions and adjusts the therapeutic nursing plan as required. 4.6 The graduate nurse ensures ongoing monitoring of patients’ physical and mental status, so as to track the evolution of their health status and detecting complications in a timely manner. The graduate nurse evaluates the effects of care and treatments in conjunction with relevant parameters, including clinical monitoring data and patients’ reactions. The graduate intervenes appropriately in relation to identified problems and risks, and adjusts the therapeutic nursing plan as required. As relevant to his/her field of practice, the graduate nurse provides prenatal, perinatal and postpartum care. 4.7 The graduate nurse provides clinical follow-up for patients with complex health problems by assessing and monitoring their condition and adjusting the therapeutic nursing plan and prescribed therapeutic medical plan. This is conducted in collaboration with patients within an interdisciplinary perspective, and in collaboration with relevant departments and appropriate professional and health care institutions. The graduate nurse records all clinical information required for monitoring the patient’s condition and for ensuring continuity of care and treatment, including data related to clinical assessments, identified problems, the therapeutic nursing plan and its adjustments, interventions and outcomes, as well as patients’ reactions. The graduate nurse ensures that patients’ records are kept up to date.
