It includes a number of skills that are considered essential and your attainment of these must be assessed for you to become a registered nurse (NMC 2007).  \n• Keep this book safe and accessible when in clinical practice.  \n• This book guides you towards a comprehensive range of skills that you should achieve during the course and in your future practice. Skills may not be acquired in a particular order however we have indicated those skills which should be considered as a priority with a * sign.  \n• The list is not exhaustive and other skills may be acquired depending upon the learning opportunities that arise.  \n• This book will help you and your mentors identify the skills you already have or need to develop. This will enable you and your mentors to assess your progress and develop action plans.  \n• This book should be used as part of your portfolio evidence towards your achievement of proficiencies.  \n• It is the students’responsibility to liaise with their mentor to identify any skills (or use of equipment) that require specific training before being undertaken or can only be undertaken by a registered nurse with extended skills. Please note this will vary between trusts.  \n(see also [http://www.medical-devices.gov.uk](http://www.medical-devices.gov.uk) )  \n• ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL TRUST POLICIES / PROCEDURES  \n• Except for the essential skills section it is your responsibility to sign and date the skills as acquired, however you can negotiate with your mentor to countersign these.  \nCONTENTS  \n\n| Section – skills relating to | Page |\n| --- | --- |\n| Essential Skills Assessments | 4 |\n| Essential Skills Assessments – Record of Achievement | 6 |\n| Health and Safety | 25 |\n| Handling and Mobility | 26 |\n| Management of Violence and Aggression | 27 |\n| Infection Prevention and Control | 28 |\n| Communication Skills | 30 |\n| Record Keeping and Documentation | 32 |\n| Patient Assessment | 33 |\n| Breathing | 34 |\n| Circulation | 36 |\n| Temperature | 38 |\n| Hydration and Nutritional | 39 |\n| Elimination | 42 |\n| Neurological Status | 44 |\n| Hygiene, Comfort and Dignity | 46 |\n| Palliative Care and Care of the Dying | 48 |\n| Pain | 50 |\n| Sleep and Rest | 51 |\n| Individuality (including Spiritual Care) | 52 |\n| Administration of Medications | 53 |\n| Peri-operative Care | 55 |\n| Wound Care | 57 |\n| Public Health and Health Promotion | 59 |\n| Working in an Inter-disciplinary Team | 62 |\n| Management and Leadership | 61 |\n| Teaching | 65 |\n| Additional Skills Acquired | 66 |\n\nESSENTIAL SKILLS ASSESSMENTS  \nGuidelines for mentors undertaking practical assessments  \nThe NMC have introduced Essential Skills Clusters (ESCs Circular 07/2007) to complement the existing NMC pre-registration outcomes / proficiencies. The NMC require that some of these skills are specifically assessed in practice.  \nDuring the Common Foundation Programme students must be assessed in the following prior to moving to the Branch programme:  \nTPR and BP (assessed in School, OSCE)  \nMeasures/documents vital signs (assessed in school, OSCE) Aseptic/clean technique (assessed in School, simulation) Accurate measurements of Height, weight and BMI (assessed in practice)  \nFluid balanc","cbCaigjhHa7m0Osq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigjhHa7m0Osq","pdf",1857422,66,"English","# Introduction and Guidelines\n# Essential Skills Assessments\n## Guidelines for mentors undertaking practical assessments","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this clinical skills book for CFP and the Adult Branch?\",\"answer\":\"It supports the development and assessment of essential nursing practice skills so students can progress toward registered nurse status.
