Review of reserved and high-risk actions especially for nurses (level 4 or 5) working in hospital, nursing home or community care.
Reserved and risky operations
Risky actions are those that pose risks to the client when performed. Reserved operations are a specific group within high-risk operations. These are acts performed professionally by individual professionals. In Article 36 of the BIG Act, 14 high-risk actions are classified as reserved actions . One may perform a reserved act only if, in addition to being qualified, one is competent to perform that act.
Theoretical section:
You will independently go through 7 mandatory e-learning modules , which must be successfully completed, before being able to participate in the practical assessment.
Practical section:
You will be sent observation lists of all actions that will be tested for preparation. During the practical session, you will be practically tested in a simulated setting. Two teachers independently assess the actions using so-called “evidence-based” observation lists .
