You have valid performance improvement (PI) data that supports the fact that central lines are being properly cared for in your special care areas. How would you assess RN competency in terms of the care of central lines?
  1. Set up a simulation and assess each RN’s competency in terms of central line care.
  2. Arrange for all staff to call you before their central line care so you can directly observe them.
  3. You can deem the RN staff as competent because your PI data indicates competency in this frequently used skill.
  4. You can deem the RN staff as competent because your PI data indicates competency in this rarely used skill.
Explanation
Answer: C - You can deem the RN staff as competent because your PI data indicates competency in this frequently used skill. There is no need to set up a simulation or plan clinical experience to assess, and document, this competency, provided that this data is sound and it accurately reflects the outcomes of frequently used central lines (infections, etc.) for your unit.
