\nProfessional Practice Standards and Scope of Practice for Aesthetic Nursing Practice in New Zealand Audit Tool  \nNew Zealand Aesthetic Nursing  \nClinicians working in the field of aesthetic nurse practice in New Zealand have identified an absence of professional standards of practice for nurses in this discipline.  \nIn 2017 a working group, the NZ Aesthetic Standards Steering Committee was set up to develop a set of professional standards and competencies to guide nursing practice. The framework is intended as a guide for practitioners and acknowledges that aesthetic nursing practice requires specific, unique knowledge and skills across a spectrum of experience levels. It is not presented asan exhaustive nor prescriptive document but as a prototype to benchmark practice in the New Zealand context. The framework promotes the need to research, establish and review appropriate standards of education and training to enable safe and effective practice. It is intended as a voluntary and self-regulatory document.  \nThe Professional Practice Standards and Scope of Practice for Aesthetic Nursing Practice in New Zealand (Standards and scope for aesthetic nursing) represents the first description of standards of professional practice for aesthetic nurses in the New Zealand context and the knowledge and skills required to confidently and proficiently deliver client care. It is acknowledged that the extent of a nurse’s scope of practice is determined by the individual’s education, training and competence and that the extent ofit is then authorised in the practice setting by the employer’s organisational policies and requirements.  \nCommon domains within which they work include but are not limited to the provision of skin care advice and referral, management of common skin disorders, prescription of medical grade skin care products, laser and other light-based therapies, skin resurfacing, removal of benign lesions e.g. Skin tags, Seborrheic keratosis, Haemangiomas, Cherry angiomas, Solar lentigines, dermal fillers, neuromodulators, skin tightening and mesotherapy. It is implicit that a genuine clinical relationship will be fostered with other members of the health care team.  \nIn developing this document, the group has drawn upon international developments in standards and scopes of practice for Aesthetic nursing, notably those of Australia and the United Kingdom.  \nAmanda Child RN Shelley Frost RN Marie Guerin RN Emma Lindley RN Stacey Power RN  \nWe would like to acknowledge the contributions of other Registered Nurses working within the Aesthetic field in New Zealand and their input and assistance with this document.  \nJennifer Little RN  \nKaren Scorringe RN  \nJacqueline Smith RN  \nStella Wilkins RN  \nFelicity McIntyre RN  \nKathy McCabe RN with assistance from Cathy Gilmore NZNO.  \nThe support of The N","cbCaitWAjwLr1Pxh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitWAjwLr1Pxh","pdf",453938,41,"English","# Introduction\n## Advisory group\n## Requirements for aesthetic nursing\n## Summary of aesthetic nurse practice\n# How to use the standards and scope of aesthetic nursing\n## Principles of continuing professional development\n# Scope of Practice\n## Domain 1: Assess client, plan and deliver appropriate care\n## Domain 2: Administers botulinum toxin A safely and effectively\n## Domain 3: Administers filler and related products safely and effectively\n## Domain 4: Delivers laser, intense pulsed light and related therapies safely and effectively\n# Professional Practice Standards\n## Medical oversight\n## Initial and pre-procedure consultation\n## Maintain health records, information, privacy and records\n## Administer medicines safely and effectively\n## Utilise medical devices safely and effectively\n## Maintain a safe and healthy work place\n## Maintain the principles of infection control\n## Management of complaints\n## Advertising guidelines\n## Aesthetic nurse competencies\n# References\n# Appendix A: Audit Tool","[{\"question\":\"Who developed these professional practice standards for aesthetic nursing in New Zealand?\",\"answer\":\"A working group formed in 2017, the NZ Aesthetic Standards Steering Committee, developed the standards, informed by international work from Australia and the United Kingdom.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key domains in the scope of practice for aesthetic nurses?\",\"answer\":\"The scope is organized into four domains: assessing clients and planning care, safe administration of botulinum toxin A, safe administration of fillers and related products, and safe delivery of laser, intense pulsed light, and related therapies.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements and safeguards must an aesthetic nurse meet before practising?\",\"answer\":\"The nurse must be a New Zealand Registered Nurse with a current practising certificate, work under medical oversight with appropriate standing orders where required, and be covered by professional indemnity insurance.\"}]","Professional Practice Standards and Scope of Practice for Aesthetic Nursing Practice in New Zealand | PDF",1789348591]
