Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 10, October 1, 2024
Section 851-006-0160 - Definitions beginning with the letter "P"
(1)"Paid Employment", for the purposes of these rules, means performing certified nursing assistant (CNA) authorized duties for pay with supervision by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse or monitoring by an RN who works for the same employer as the CNA.
(2)"Physical Impairment", for the purposes of these rules, means the ability to move, coordinate actions, or perform physical activities is significantly limited or delayed and is exhibited by difficulties in one or more of the following areas: physical and motor tasks; independent movement, performing activities of daily living.
(3)"Plan of Care" means the comprehensive plan authored by the registered nurse (RN) that communicates the client's prioritized problems or risks; identifies measurable client outcomes related to the problems or risks; and identifies the nursing strategies and interventions chosen to address the identified problems or risks. The plan of care is developed by the nursing process and can only be authored by the RN. The advanced practice registered nurse's care orders are also considered a plan of care.
(4)"Post-master's certificate" for the purposes of these rules, means a certificate from an accredited graduate nursing education program that prepares licensed advanced practice nurse to expand their scope to a different population focus which may be in addition to their current license designation. To incorporate the new population, focus into their practice, the nurse must apply and meet the requirements for an additional license from the Board designating the new population.
(5)"Practice requirement" means the number of nursing practice hours designated by the Board within a given timeframe to qualify for initial certification; licensure or certification by endorsement, renewal, reactivation or reinstatement.
(6)"Pre-licensure Program" means a program of study in which achievement of the educational requirements for nursing licensure are accomplished. A program educates the individual to qualify for initial licensure as a nurse.
(7)"Professional Boundaries" means the nurse and client therapeutic relationship limitations that guide appropriate and professional interactions. The licensee or certificate holder and the client establish a relationship where the client depends on the licensee or certificate holder to have the knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies to provide the care needed by the client. This relationship has a space between the needs of the client and the ability of the licensee or certificate holder to provide that care. That space is a professional boundary and is applicable in and out of the practice setting. The licensee or certificate holder has power in that the client is dependent upon the provision of care and the client is vulnerable to the influences of this power. Violation of this space between power and vulnerability through the blending of the personal and professional relationship constitutes a boundary violation.
(8)"Protocol", for the purposes of these rules means a medical order for a treatment or a medication that contains pre-identified inclusion or exclusion criteria identified by the prescriber. This includes the symptom-based protocol that directs the administration of an over-the-counter medication to a client based only upon the client's presenting symptoms.
(9)"Public Discipline" means Board action against a licensee or certificate holder resulting in public reporting of the discipline, including posting on the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) website and in the OSBN publications. Public discipline is a permanent document that remains publicly displayed for the life of the license or certificate even after all requirements of the Board order are satisfied.
