Prompts to check yourself▾
  • Is your ask specific and time-bound — not just "please review"?
  • Did you say you have consent to refer and share?
  • Did you close with a read-back so the receiver accepts the action?
  • Are your observations relevant to this referral only?
List only what the receiver needs to know to act safely.
Compare with a model answer▾
Minimum necessary, e.g.: patient name/identifier; the specific clinical need (high MUST score, weight loss); the precise request and urgency; relevant history only; and confirmation that consent was obtained. Leave out unrelated diagnoses, social detail with no bearing on the referral, and anything the receiver doesn't need to act.
TASK 2 Australian-difference list

Write five differences between your prior practice and Australian RN practice that you'll consciously apply in the labs. Think consent, flat teams, documentation, audited standards, scope & cultural safety.

Common differences IQRNs identify▾
  • Consent — explicit & documented here, not assumed.
  • Flat teams — nurses question, advocate and escalate; speaking up is expected.
  • Documentation — detailed, contemporaneous and audited.
  • Scope — decline tasks beyond competence/authorisation, even under pressure.
  • Cultural safety — defined by the patient; use interpreters and teach-back.
