Review the American Nurses Association (2021) definitions and concepts related to competence:
“A competency is an expected level of performance that integrates
knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgment. Knowledge encompasses
thinking, understanding of science and humanities, professional
standards of practice, and insights gained from context, practical
experiences, personal capabilities, and leadership performance. Skills
include psychomotor, communication, interpersonal, and diagnostic
skills. Ability is the capacity to act effectively. It requires
listening, integrity, knowledge of one’s strengths and weaknesses,
positive self-regard, emotional intelligence, and openness to feedback.”
(American Nurses Association, 2021, p. 146).
