Clinical: Each clinical day in a health care facility will be 7 1/2 hours in length including a ½ hour lunch break. Students will be in the clinical setting two days per week. Clinical group assignments will be made at the individual sites by the nursing faculty. Clinical days will occur on Tuesday and Wednesday from the week of  August 23,- November 10, 2010. Clinical make-up days are scheduled for November 16th & November 17th, 2010. a. After two (2) clinical/campus lab absences (excused and/or unexcused) in one semester, it may necessitate that the student withdraw from this and any other clinical NURS course in which the student is enrolled. The student is to contact the Lead Faculty to arrange for withdrawal from this course/courses. If the student in enrolled in both this course and a specialty NURS course, the policy of two (2) clinical/campus lab absences relates to the combined number of absences between these two NURS

courses. b. A tardy is defined as arriving to the clinical facility ANY time after the scheduled start time. If a student is more than 15 minutes late to the clinical area the clinical instructor has the right to inform the student to go home and the absence will be counted as an unexcused absence. c. A make-up day and a written assignment is required for all absences in clinical/campus lab. The Lead Faculty in the course will assign either an evidencedbased paper or a case study supported by evidenced based practice. Both assignments are required to have documented references and include nursing care. If a paper is assigned, it must be sent through Turnitin. Additionally, the Lead Faculty will assign the due date. If the student does not turn in the assignment by the due date, the student will fail that clinical rotation. d. In order to receive a satisfactory grade in clinical, the student must perform the critical behaviors identified in the Clinical Outcomes Tool. e. In order for a student to be eligible to go into the clinical areas, he/she must produce evidence of an annual negative PPD or negative chest x-ray, record of Hepatitis B vaccination or declination form, a Rubella titer and/or second MMR, and current CPR certification (must include adult, child and infant training) the first time this course meets this semester. If this documentation is not on file before the first clinical day of the semester, the student will not be allowed to attend clinical and the absence(s) will be made up as described above. f. Students enrolled in NURS 124, 125, 241, 242 or 244 are required to preplan for the clinical day. This is to be completed prior to the clinical experience. Clinical time will not be given for preplanning. If a student comes to clinical and has not preplanned, they will be sent home, counted as absent, be

Incomplete Policy Students are expected to complete all requirements as assigned during the semester. Incompletes are only given in extreme circumstances deemed by the instructor. If the request for an Incomplete “I” is approved, the work must by completed within the first six weeks of the following semester; otherwise the grade automatically becomes “F”. Any student with an Incomplete “I” in any nursing course(s) will not be allowed to enroll in subsequent nursing courses until the Incomplete “I” has been removed from the transcript. The grade of “I” is calculated in the grade point average with zero points. F. ASN Caylor School of Nursing Grading Scale: A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79%

D = 60-69% F = below 60% The minimal acceptable grade in nursing is a "B" in theory, and a satisfactory in clinical. An unsatisfactory grade in clinical will result in an “F” for the NURS course. The student will not be allowed to remain in the NURS course for the remainder of  the semester once an unsatisfactory grade is received in the clinical area. See the LMU Student Handbook Online 2010-2011 or obtain one from the administrative assistant of the Caylor School of Nursing. A failing grade for either theory or clinical performance will result in a failing grade for the course. The student must attain an overall average of 80% to pass NURS 125 with a "B". There will be NO rounding of earned grades within the course and NO rounding of the final grade for the course. E.

The following physician orders are received: Insert #18 N/G tube and connect to low intermittent suction. Type and cross for 4 units of blood. Transfuse 2 units now. Continue to infuse NS @ 125 mL/hr. • Who will administer the blood? What is the procedure for administration of blood? How fast should the blood be transfused? What could be delegated to the CNA and LPN? • Why is the patient receiving blood? • 5 minutes after starting the blood the patient c/o SOB. What is the role of the charge nurse? What should be done for this patient? • What possible problems should the nurse assess for? • Demonstrate insertion of N/G tube. Explain nursing interventions. • What is the purpose of the N/G tube?

2) See case study B. The patient is 3 days post-op after a bowel resection with ileostomy. Assessments are normal. • Demonstrate c/o ostomy and include teaching. • What could the nurse delegate to the CNA r/t care of the ostomy. •  The morning K is 2.5 meq/L. What nursing interventions should the primary nurse include? • As part of your assignment for the day, you have just received a new admission from surgery. What should the role of the charge nurse be at this time? How will you manage your time? 3) See case study F. Patient continues to receive TPN @ 100 mL/hr via CVL (triple lumen) in right jugular vein. Lipids are also infusing @ 10 mL/hr. NS infusing @ 110 mL/hr. The physician has ordered, cefepime (Maxipime) 2 gms IV every 12 hours to be started ASAP. You are unable to start an additional peripheral IV. • How can you give the cefepime?

• •



How long can the lipids infuse?  The patient’s morning blood glucose is 200. Is this normal and what should be done? 12N vital signs are: B/P 130/80, HR 90, RR 24, and oral temp is 100.8. What should the nurse assess for and what is the most important nursing intervention?

4) See case study F. The physician has ordered to d/c the TPN by decreasing the rate by 50 mL/hr, it is currently infusing @ 100 mL/hr. During am assessment you notice the dressing is not intact and has serous drainage. • What assessments should be done during the period of  discontinuing the TPN? • Demonstrate how to change a CVL dressing. • During the dressing change you notice the site is red with some yellow drainage. What should you do?

Seminar #1 (7 1/2 hours) Case studies, review advanced dosage calculations, charting, confidentiality, cultural competence and leadership skills (delegation and prioritization). CONFIDENTIALITY  Patients have the right to privacy and confidentiality in relation to their health care information and medical recommendations. Nurses who disclose patient information to an unauthorized person can be liable for invasion of privacy, defamation, or slander.  The Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) requires that the nurse protect all written and verbal communication about patients. Components of the privacy rule include: • Only health team members directly responsible for the patient's care should be allowed access to the patient's record. The patient has the right to review his/her medical record and request information as necessary for understanding. • No part of the patient record can be copied except for authorized exchange of documents between health care institutions. • Patient information may not be disclosed to unauthorized individuals/family members who request it or individuals who call on the phone. • Communication about a patient should only take place in a private setting. The practice of walking rounds where other patients and visitors can hear what is being said, is no longer sanctioned. • Using public display boards to list patient names and diagnoses is restricted.

CULTURAL COMPETENCE Culture is defined as a set of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that are widely held among a group of people and that are transmitted across generations. Congruency between culture and health care is essential to the well being of  the patient. It is important to assess cultural beliefs and practices when determining a plan of care for a patient. A cultural assessment provides information to the health care providers about the effect of culture on communication, space and physical contact, time, social organization, biologic variation, and environmental control factors. Cultural awareness includes self-awareness of one's own cultural background, biases, and differences. Health care professionals need to assess their own beliefs and ask themselves how those beliefs may affect the care given to patients. Cultural competence is knowing, appreciating, and considering the culture of  someone else in resolving problems.

 The following are ways the nurse can convey cultural sensitivity: •  The nurse should address patients by their last names, unless the patient gives the nurse permission to use other names. •  The nurse should introduce him/herself by name and explain his/her position. •  The nurse should be authentic and honest about what he/she does or does not know about the patient's culture. • Use language that is culturally sensitive. • Find out what patients know about their health problems and treatments, and assess cultural congruence. • Do not make assumptions about patients. • Encourage patients to ask about everything that they may not understand. • Respect patient's values, beliefs, and practices. • Show respect for patient's support systems. PRIORITIZATION, DELEGATION AND LEADERSHIP Readings: Silvestri (pp. 75-77) Taylor, Lillis, Lemone, & Lynn (Chapter 23, and pp. 323-324). CD to be shown in seminar: ATI Community Health/Leadership Nursing RN (Chapter 15 & 16)

Discuss skills needed for leadership including communication, problem-solving, management, and self-evaluation skills. Focus on the role of nursing leadership in all situations and settings. Discuss priority setting in the clinical situation. Areas to cover: • How do you determine what is priority task? • What is outcome of selection of one task over another? • What tasks are critical for patient physiological stability? -Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, ABCs of CPR • What tasks are essential for patient safety?

DELEGATION Review five rights of delegation: • Right task • Right cirumstances • Right person • Right direction/communication • Right supervision (Taylor, Lillis, Lemone, & Lynn p. 545) Review delegation decision tree in textbook p. 546. Utilize Case Studies in small group activity.

CONFIDENTIALITY: 1. Which of the following actions places patient information at risk for disclosure? A. Placing paper based patient charts behind the nurses' station B. Using a universal computer password for all staff on one unit C. Limiting information access to health care members directly involved in a patient's care D. Reporting breaches in confidentiality 2. Which of the following is an infraction of the Privacy Rules outlined by HIPPA? Select all that apply  _____ Reviewing the chart of a patient assigned to another nurse _____ Making a copy of the patient's most current laboratory results for the primary care provider during rounds _____ Answering questions about a patient's condition with the patient's daughter

_____ Discussing a patient's condition over the phone with an individual who has provided the patient's information code _____ Participating in walking rounds as long as verbal exchanges occur outside the patient's room and in soft whispers CULTURAL COMPETENCE: 1. Culture can be defined as: A. a set of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life B. ethnocentric patterns of life C. a changed belief system D. explicit behaviors and beliefs 2. A male patient from Japan does not make eye contact with a nurse when she speaks. This nonverbal behavior is indicative of which of the following? A. The patient has low self-esteem. B. The patient is exhibiting signs of fatigue. C. The patient has a negative attitude toward the nurse. D. Further assessment is needed of the patient's culture and his feelings before a determination can be made.

Mr. Clark is a patient in a rehabilitation facility for management of a closed head injury. He has a tracheostomy tube in place, as he required mechanical ventilation for several weeks after the injury. As the nurse caring for Mr. Clark, it is your responsibility to care for his tracheostomy, including tracheal suctioning and routine tracheal cleaning. •

Describe indications for a tracheotomy.



When in bed, what is the rationale for placing the patient in a semiFowler’s position?



Mr. Clark does not require supplemental oxygenation as his oxygen saturation is 96% on room air. What is the rationale for administering humidified room air to Mr. Clark while in bed?



In performing routine tracheostomy care, the nurse soaks the inner cannula in hydrogen peroxide and then rinses with normal saline. What is the rationale for these actions? (should be ½ strength peroxide)



Mr. Clark’s respiration deteriorates requiring his transfer back to the acute care facility and placement on a mechanical ventilator. Upon arrival, the nurse checks the tracheostomy cuff pressure, and finds it to be 35 mmHg. What should the nurse do? Why?

5. Include two nursing diagnosis with interventions.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY  Caylor School of Nursing Nursing 115, 124, 125, 241, 245, 246 DAILY CONCEPT MAPPING GUIDELINES 1. A daily concept map must be completed on each assigned patient in order to receive a grade of satisfactory in the clinical area. This is to be original work – copied work from anyone else = cheating!!

2. Daily concept maps are due on the last clinical day of each week unless the instructor states otherwise. 3. Fully address all areas of the concept map:

a. Nursing Diagnosis NURS 115 - Write 2 nursing diagnoses in complete form, i.e., nursing diagnosis related to etiology as evidenced by signs and symptoms (There should be three (3) parts.) Write these on the concept map. NURS 124, 125, 241, 245 & 246 - Write 4 nursing diagnoses in complete form, i.e., nursing diagnosis related to etiology as evidenced by signs and symptoms (There should be three (3) parts.) Write these on the concept map b. Assessment Include the following: assessments, lab data, diagnostic test results, medications and past medical/psych history if appropriate. c. Interventions State interventions for each nursing diagnosis. These interventions should be realistic and individualized to the specific patient. Include interventions that you as the nurse would implement. Include rationale for nursing interventions. Your nursing care plan book is a great resource to find interventions but you need to individualize the interventions to your patient . DO NOT copy word for word from your text book or any other book or journal. This = plagiarism!!! d. Patient Outcomes State short-term goals and long term goals for the nursing diagnoses. These goals should be measurable and written in terms of patient behavior, not nurse behavior. Evaluate the goals. 2. Medication cards or medication sheet must be completed for each medication your patient is receiving. These are to be turned in with the concept map. 5. A laboratory sheet must be completed for each lab your patient has performed. Rationales for abnormal labs are required. These are to be turned in with the concept map.

Comprehensive Nursing Project Guidelines 1. The clinical instructor will set a due date for the comprehensive care plan. As stated in the syllabus, if  a nursing project is not turned in on the assigned date, a point will be deducted for each day late. This deduction remains as a part of the grade. This is to be original work – copied work from anyone else = cheating!! 2. The first portion of the comprehensive nursing project contains several sections that must be addressed. These include, the nursing history and physical assessment; definition of all diagnoses (a thorough definition – not just copied from a dictionary); symptom comparison; Erickson developmental comparison; lab value sheet with patient findings compared to normal and rationale for abnormal lab values. If any section is not addressed, the nursing project will be handed back to the student, not graded, and this will count as the first attempt. 3. The last portion of the comprehensive nursing project addresses the nursing process: a. Assessment  This should include thorough assessment specific for each nursing diagnosis. It should include objective as well as subjective data. In addition, lab values, medications and diagnostic test results specific to that nursing diagnosis should be included. b. Nursing Diagnosis  These nursing diagnoses must be stated in correct 3 part form, i.e., nursing diagnosis related to etiology as evidenced by signs and symptoms. Short-term and long-term goals should be stated for each nursing diagnosis. These goals should be measurable and written in terms of patient behavior, not nurse behavior. An expected outcome should be stated for each goal. For NURS 115 there should be a minimum of 3 nursing diagnoses, 2 can be from the physiological mode and the 3 rd from either the self-concept, role function or interdependence mode. For NURS 124/125 there should be a minimum of 4 nursing diagnoses, 3 can be from physiological mode and the 4 th can be from either self-concept, role function or interdependence mode. c. Nursing Interventions  These should be realistic and individualized to the patient. Include interventions that you as a nurse would implement. DO NOT copy from a

textbook or use standardized care plans. d. Rationale All rationale must be documented from a resource book. You must cite the source at the end of each stated rationale. At least one rationale must be documented with an article from an accepted nursing journal. You were given the list of accepted journals in your first semester course. Internet information is not acceptable unless it is a full-text article from one of the accepted nursing journals. A copy of the article must accompany the nursing project. e. Evaluation  There should be an evaluation statement for each expected outcome. Simply state the outcome, i.e., Did it happen? Did it not happen? Why? Why not? What changes will you make to your nursing interventions?

LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY Caylor School of Nursing Medical Definition and Symptomatology Comparison Patient/Textbook  NURS 115 & 124/125 Fall 2010

Angina Pectoris Angina pectoris is characterized by chest pain or pressure. It results from insufficient coronary  blood flow resulting in decreased oxygen supply. This decreased oxygen supply occurs when there is increased myocardial demand such as during exercise or emotional stress. The severity of angina is dependent upon the precipitating activity and its effect on activities of daily living (Smeltzer, Bare, Hinkle, & Cheever, 2008, p. 867).

LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY Caylor School of Nursing Erikson’s Developmental Comparison NURS 115 & 124/125 Fall 2010 Comprehensive Nursing Project Example:

Chronological Age - 32 y/o According to Erikson, this client is in the middle adult years and should  be dealing with the generativity vs. stagnation conflict. This is the period when a person's interest is toward establishing and guiding the next ge neration (generativity) or the person may turn inward and become self-absorbed or stagnant (stagnation) (Taylor, Lewis, Lemone, & Lynn, 2008, p. 397).

 This client is clearly in the generativity side of Erikson's conflict for the middle adult. He feels that he has an important role and contribution to make to his children and to the children he teaches. He is active in his church, provides for his family and is concerned about how his illness affects his work, family and the delays to his responsibilities at work. He displays no aspects of stagnation -nonproductive, self-absorbed, personal impoverishment and/or selfindulgence.
