The document summarizes a learning experience from a nursing course on inserting and maintaining a nasogastric tube. The student learned how to insert a nasogastric tube and ensure adequate nutrition and hydration for a patient. They found the experience important for maintaining a patient's homeostasis and recovery. The student rated their proficiency in nutrition and hydration as "good" based on their understanding of the importance and signs of balanced or unbalanced intake. They will use this knowledge to identify issues with nutrition and hydration in current practice and adapt their skills over time based on changes in policies and patient populations.

E-6 Nutrition/Hydration Subcategory: E-6-1 - This subcategory focuses on varying routes to address and fulfill the patients nutrition and hydration needs.
A learning experience in this course and example related to this competency
A learning experience in NFDN 2003 that focuses on this competency
is attending the lab that focused on inserting and maintaining a nasogastric tube. In class I learned how to insert a tube and how to take care of it while ensuring the ins and outs of the patient were equal and adequate nutrition and/or hydration was met. This relates to the competency because it is one way to maintain hydration or nutrition based on the doctors orders and intention of the patients nasogastric tube.
Description of what I learned and how it relates to this competency. Why was it meaningful?
I found that this experience was important because for a patient to
become healthy again they need adequate fluids and nutrition to help maintain the homeostasis of the body. It also ensures the patient is getting their electrolytes (especially magnesium, potassium and sodium) to help maintain the health of the patient and ensure the quickest recovery possible.
Use the proficiency
categories to rate my proficiency in this competency. Explanation of how I achieved this number
On the proficiency scale I would grade myself at the good category. I
believe I am at this level because I have a good grasp on the importance of balanced and adequate nutrition/hydration as well as what to look for/notice when requirements are not met or are too much such as lab values, signs and symptoms like poor skin turgor, fatigue and weight loss or gain etc. However, I am still learning and as a student nurse not everything is concrete in my head.
PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO CONTINUATION
How I will use this
knowledge and experience will be used in current and future nursing practices
In current nursing practice I will use this knowledge and experiences to
be able to identify any imbalanced nutrition and or hydration. I will recognize signs and symptoms of both inadequate or over hydration and/or nutrition. I will also be aware of ways to maintain adequate hydration and nutrition. In the future I will adapt ways of maintaining and monitoring nutrition and hydration if any changes do come or as to different agency policies. I will also learn new ways to maintain and adapt to the nutrition needs of the baby, child, adult, elderly depending on the facility I am working at. I will have the knowledge and ability to maintain nutrition and hydration but throughout medical changes, discoveries and modernizations I will adapt and learn with the time.
