Confirming Problems:
Identifying Problems

Building on Experience

As registered nurses, we face diverse and complex situations that impact on nursing practice. Sometimes it is unclear whether the problems we face are professional practice problems. Furthermore, how we identify problems will have a lot to do with how these situations are resolved.

Reflection

Think of a problem you faced at your workplace and analyze the problem:

• Who was involved.
• What actions were taken.
• What was the resolution.
