LO3: Describe legal, ethical and moral concepts in nursing and apply to professional practice, patient safety, and public protection
LO3: NOT MET
Unfortunately you have not considered the legal, ethical and moral concepts relating to an aspect of professional practice. You have considered something that happened to you before doing the course, which does not allow you to meet the learning outcomes. You need to consider something in practice, e.g. poor documentation of a patient you cared for, not communicating care to a patient etc. and then consider the legal implications, the ethical aspects (principles and/or theories should be brought in at this point) and the moral aspects.
LO4: Identify and discuss contemporary NHS policies, guidelines, and clinical governance processes and their application in practice in delivering high quality care for patients and the public

When on placement, a student was informed to assist in feeding a bedbound patient. There was no documentation in the care plan regarding the type of fluids and diet he is on, the food chart was not filled in nor sent to the kitchen.At meal time,the patient was given normal diet which caused him to suffocate.Heimlich manoeuvre was performed and relieved him. Later, it was noted that the patients diet was level 6 and the care home did not mention it. The staff nurses updated patients bedside board and medical notes.
