Reflection on a clinical skill Abstract This essay will discuss a clinical experience in which I feel more competent in practicing. I will use a reflective model to discuss how I have achieved the necessary level of competence in my nurse training programme.The reflective model I have chosen to use is Gibbs model (Gibbs 1988). Gibbs model of reflection incorporates the following: description‚ feelings‚ evaluation‚ analysis‚ conclusion and an action plan (Gibbs 1988). The model will help facilitate

a tremendous variety of oxidation states that appear in its compounds. The oxidation numbers range from Mn (III) in compounds like Mn(NO)3CO to Mn (VII) in KMnO4. Compounds of manganese range in oxidation number between theses two extremes. This experiment involves the preparation of a Mn (III) complex of actylacetone (also named 2‚4-pentanedione) which is a useful starting material for the preparation of other Mn (III) compounds. Manganese (III) complexes are relatively stable and can be prepared

Osmosis Experiment Subject: Professor Egg-avier Duration: 3 weeks (Oct 2nd – Oct 16th) Week 1 On October 2nd my group was giving a raw egg (weighing 58.8 grams) and placed it into a clear mason jar with 200mL of vinegar. The ph levels of our vinegar equaled a 2 which tells us that vinegar is a fairly acidic liquid. Once submerged in the vinegar‚ little bubbles began to appear around the egg’s shell. We believed this to be carbon dioxide escaping from the shell. We left our egg to sit in the

Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: To observe some properties of chemical reactions and associate them with everyday household cleaning products. Procedure: In order to complete this experiment‚ I had to set up and organize my lab table. I used my 24-well plate‚ my 96-well plate‚ and the first experiment bag which included all of the necessary chemicals. I also had to gather 3 household cleaning products and a pipet in order to test them as well. The procedure involved was putting 2 drops of

The cerebellum of the brain‚ the “little brain”‚ is located at the rear of the brainstem. The tissue is folded into itself several times and each layer helps with the organization on the mind. It is clear that the cerebellum has an essential job because over time it has grown‚ by studying fossilized skulls it has been exposed that the cerebellum has increased to three times its size over the past million years. This small lump of tissue was first discussed by Ray S. Snider in an article written

Parachute Experiment Aim: To investigate the effect of surface area on a performance (more the amount of a parachute better the performance) of a parachute. Hypothesis- More the amount of holes in a parachute‚ faster the rate of the fall. Variables: Dependent variable- The time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground. Control variables:Mass > Adding or subtracting mass from the load. > Clay can be molded around the load to increase mass. > Parts of the load can be cut off to decrease the
