This document is a professional portfolio assignment summarizing learning related to CLPNA competencies. It addresses the competency of demonstrating knowledge and ability to recognize indications for oxygen administration. Key learnings include: administering oxygen in emergencies without a doctor's order; oxygen is a medication and should be given at specific levels depending on a patient's condition; and knowledge of oxygen therapy allows one to be competent and independent in providing respiratory care. The student rates their understanding of this competency as "good" and describes learning activities including classes, readings, skills practice, and questions to verify knowledge. They explain how this learning will apply in clinical practice and future nursing career.

Describe One Significant
Learning Experience In This Course Related To The CLPNA Competency. Provide An Example.
Major Competency Area: F-Respiratory Care
Competency: F-2- Oxygen Therapy Subcategory: F-2-1 Demonstrate knowledge and ability to recognize the indications for administration of oxygen One significant learning experience in NFDN 2003 related to CLPNA competency is the independent nursing action to give oxygen in a emergency situation. One good example that we discussed during NFDN 2003 class is about giving the oxygen in a emergency situation, oxygen is considered a medication and a doctors order is needed before administration, nurses as the first person to respond in a life threatening situation we are authorized to give oxygen starting from 2 litters per minute.
I have learned that oxygen is a medication thats why health care
Describe what you learned and providers should be specific in giving oxygen to certain patients, how it relates to the competency. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a type of illness in which Explain why it is meaningful. oxygen should be given in a lower level since higher level of oxygen can loss the hypoxic drive of patients, the drive to breath. It is related to CLPNA competency because knowledge about oxygen supplementation and the ability to give it in emergent cases is very important because administration of oxygen follows the simple principle of airway, breathing and circulation. It is meaningful for me because it gives me the initiative to be independent in my job, competent but cautious in giving oxygen in a very emergent situation. Uses the proficiency categories to rate their proficiency in the chosen CLPNA competency. Explain what was done to achieve this competency.
Describe how you will apply this
learning in your current and future nursing practice.
I would rate my understandings about the chosen CLPNA
competency as Good I understands the competency in theory and in scenarios and nursing practice. To achieve this competency I have attended all the theory class, do my reading in both Potter and Perry, Brunner and Saddarths, I also ask questions to verify my knowledge, during laboratory practice I read and do the skills with my partner in administration of oxygen. My knowledge about Respiratory care specifically oxygen therapy can help me a lot as a student, following the principle of airway, breathing and circulation I will be able to apply my skills in laboratory and clinical settings, guided by what I read and what I learned I will be more competent student practical nurse. In the future nursing career, the knowledge and skills that I learned from my college years will be my tool to be independent nurse, caring for patients with airway and breathing disorder, I will apply what I learned in long term or acute hospital setting.
