*Why did you respond as described?
*What are your thoughts and feelings associated with the experience?
*How did others in the situation feel?
-Describe the consequences of your response:
*What was the impact on the patient, others, and/or yourself?
*What might have happened if you had responded differently?
*Explain how your response did or did not support your beliefs.
*Identify the knowledge you had or should have had in this situation, and if your response was or was not related to previous experiences.
*Discuss what you learned from the experience and explain how this experience was transformed into learning.
-Discuss if this experience affected or changed your:

*Level of competence in nursing practice.
