APL Portfolio Module to demonstrate graduateness for Post Graduate Admission into NursingGuide to Portfolio CompletionIntroduction to Developing Your PortfolioWhy a Portfolio?The portfolio is the mechanism whereby the candidate can be given credit for previous learning. This means that the course can be completed in 2 years instead of the usual 3 years.APL (Previous Academic Learning)APL is being used to demonstrate graduateness. The University has robust APL processes in place which have been approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council for accreditation onto pre-registration nursing.The PortfolioThe aim is to allow prospective candidates to evidence how their graduate skills are transferable to health care. A successful portfolio is an essential pre-requisite for entry to the course. Once the CV has been submitted (within a specified time framework) electronically to the admissions tutor it will then be assessed by course team who will then decide whether the candidate has met criteria for APL.Successful portfolios will then be presented to the APL Board and then to an Assessment Board for ratification after which candidates will be informed whether they have gained a place on the courseWhat are we looking for?Within the portfolio the candidate should demonstrate what graduate skills they have how their graduate skills have been used within last 5 years and how these graduate skills are transferable to health care. We are looking for candidates who are analytical thoughtful and self-reflective and can demonstrate a potential and aptitude for Masters level study.What are we NOT looking for?Descriptions or scenariosStatements of intentionsNarrativesBrief superficial informationThe PortfolioThis assessment requires you to compile a portfolio of evidence including reflections on previous learning and the development of graduate skills. The portfolio must comprise 5 elements:Introduction (300 words)Current CV (Done and attached)Extended CV (400 words for each Learning Outcome 5 LO = 2000 words)Conclusion/ Summary (200 words)Scanned Copies of Transcripts and QualificationsIntroductionIntroducing Your PortfolioYour introduction needs to highlight what is contained in your portfolio. Ensure that you guide the reader to the important points you wish to highlight (such as your previous achievements and knowledge). It is also useful to have a table of contentsDiscuss each item in your portfolio individually.Your introduction should take no more than 300 words.Your Current CVPlease see attached CVThe Extended CVThe Extended CVIn completing your extended CV you should demonstrate how your existing skills and knowledge base meet the following learning outcomes:1.

Critically reflects on appropriate sensitive compassionate and effective interpersonal and communication skills with a variety of people and settingsWhat do you consider appropriate sensitive compassionate and effective interpersonal and communication skills? Why do you consider these to be appropriate sensitive compassionate and effective?Reflect on your own interpersonal and communication skills which you consider to be appropriate sensitive compassionate and effective.If have worked in health care then you could identify patient care/ handovers/case conferences (remember confidentiality!) or in retail / or office work where you may have had to deal with customer complaints and or deal with conflict.You may wish to identify examples of when problems have arisen in your personal experience such as conflict and how you managed and/or resolved such issues.2. Critically analyses the role of lifelong learning and personal development as an essential precursor to developing honesty integrity and competent professional practiceYou may wish to consider the essential requirements for professional practice in healthcare.

Building a Health History Details: Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks. For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for one of the following new patients: 76-year-old Black/African-American male with disabilities living in an urban setting Adolescent Hispanic/Latino boy living in a middle-class suburb 55-year-old Asian female living in a high-density poverty housing complex Pre-school aged white female living in a rural community 16-year-old white pregnant teenager living in an inner-city neighborhood To prepare: With the information presented in Chapter 1 in mind, consider the following: How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient? How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environment? What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient? What questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks? Select one patient from the list above on which to focus for this Discussion. Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration. Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 26 of the course text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient. Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history. Post on or before Day 3 a description of the interview and communication techniques you would use with your selected patient. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient. Building a Health History Building a history is one of the crucial steps towards provision of good healthcare. Effective communication is therefore key to the success of this process. This paper focuses on a 76-year-old Black/African-American male with disabilities living in an urban setting. The health related risk that will be focused on is age and the environmental setting. These factors play a role in the health of an individual and are also important in enhancing understanding of the health complication during the interview. In this interview, various communication techniques will be used in soliciting information about the patient. The first thing is to get ready by taking time to self-reflect and reviewing the clinical behavior and appearance then learn about the patience (Stanford, 2013). One has to first welcome the patient by greeting him and establishing a rapport, and then invite the patient’s story. As the negotiations go on, it is the time to create a shared understanding of the patients concerns. One should have a negotiation plan and also understand the situation of the patient. In this case, the patient is an old man and therefore, will require systematic conversion in a low tone (National Patient Safety Agency, 2014). During the interview, I will also listen actively, have guided questions, be receptive to non-verbal communication and will empower the patient. The questions will be open-ended questions. The information provided will be recorded in a notebook for follow up. The importance of this technique is that it will allow the patient to relax and provide information concerning the symptoms that will help enhance delivery of healthcare. Examples of questions that will be asked include: What are your names? How old are you? When did the signs and symptoms begin Have you seen any medical practitioner before? Are you on any medication? How long have you lived at your current location? Various risk assessment tools are available to assess different complications. In this case, I will use an instrument that will help me to understand the condition of the old man. The instrument has five steps that require systematic following (Levinson & Pizzo, 2011). The first thing is to identify the hazards, decide the person that is exposed, then I will evaluate the risks and decide on the precautions; I will record the findings and find proposed action. The date of implementation will be recorded after which the assessment will be reviewed and updated. The importance of this instrument is that it is easy to use and to follow on the health of the patients. References Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
