Solution – Assignment 2: Building Your Professional Portfolio

Student Name:

Course:

Competency: Category Letter, Number and Subcategory

Major Competency: L: Maternal & Newborn Competency: L-1: Maternal Nursing and Intervention Subcategory: L-1-2 Perform holistic health assessment and history

Significant Learning Experience: Describe one significant learning experience in this course related to the CLPNA Competency identified. Provide an example

The ability and knowledge to identify the various risks associated with maternal and newborn care, such as generic history and health concerns, is one of the key learning experiences I have had in this course related to maternal/newborn care competency. For instance, in this course, we learned how to conduct a full patient assessment, which is very important in maternal and newborn care as it allows a nurse to identify any health risks or concerns. Aside, such an assessment is crucial in healthcare, more so in maternal and newborn care, as it gives room for nurses to be familiar with their patients hence easy to collect health history. This also helps build a positive and comfortable patient-nurse relationship which is vital in healthcare. Generally, the course acquainted me with important information relevant to newborn and maternal care, making it easy to understand the competency and issues surrounding this practice area.
