Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Nursing and personal care tasks for patients with intellectual or developmental disabilities — perform routinely with minimal supervision, adapting approaches to individual patient needs on an inpatient unit.
  • Patients' physical and emotional well-being across a full shift — monitor systematically and document observations in electronic medical records, flagging changes to clinical staff in a timely manner.
  • Work skill development and social participation activities — encourage and facilitate independently, guiding patients toward therapeutic goals outlined in their individualized care plans.
  • Verbal de-escalation and, when necessary, physical restraint procedures — apply in accordance with facility protocols when managing agitated or potentially violent patients in a locked psychiatric ward.
  • Prescribed group therapy or structured activity sessions — co-facilitate under clinical oversight, applying basic counseling and instructional techniques with patient groups of varying acuity.
  • Social perceptiveness — use during patient interactions to detect subtle behavioral or emotional cues and adjust communication strategies accordingly in a community mental health or hospital setting.
  • Interpersonal boundaries, therapeutic rapport, and empathic communication — maintain consistently while supporting patients through daily routines and behavioral challenges.
  • Inventory and supply tracking for unit equipment and medications — manage using inventory management software to ensure availability of materials required for patient care.
  • Care plan documentation including progress notes and incident reports — compose clearly and accurately using word processing or office suite software within required time frames.
  • Time management across concurrent patient assignments — demonstrate by prioritizing care tasks effectively during high-census or short-staffed shifts on a psychiatric unit.
