Week 2 Student: Today I was in ICU department, in General El Hurghada Hospital. I was deal with the patient
has HTN, Diabetes and Atherosclerosis IN neck arteries , initial name M.A, 55 years old, male and admission
date 22/9/2019.
1- I did complete assessment to the patient, according my assessment the patient had 1- Decreased
cardiac output, as my patient had high Blood pressure 180/110 mmHg and had HDL. C 63.5 (high)
because the patient had atherosclerosis this condition where the arteries become narrowed and
hardened due to buildup of plaque around the artery wall, the disease disrupt the flow of blood
around the body , this disease can come result on high level of cholesterol, smoking and high levels
of sugar in the blood what are the risk factors in your patient condition?. Also my patient has
weakness in carotid pulse, weak pedal pulse, according to respiratory didn’t use accessory muscle
and use abdominal breathing those result on the effect of the disease. Also was has past medical
history of stroke and after brain scan found brain ischemic. My patient was receive O2 2l/hr because
was had difficult of breathing and become comfortable after it also take farcolin( Generic Name?) this
medication is bronchodilator used to control and prevent reversible airway obstruction, side effect
restlessness, headache, insomnia, nausea, vomiting It has a significant side effect which is
Tachycardia !!! . Also was has high level of sugar in the blood so was take insulin every 6 hours. Also
was receive omeprazole this therapeutic anti-ulcer agent, pharmacologic proton-pump inhibitor. This
maintenance of healing in erosive esophagitis, duodenal ulcers, side effect dizziness, fatigue, chest
pain and constipation. Was take Lasix this diuretics used for hypertension side effect blurred vision,
dizziness, headache, excessive urination and dry mouth. Also the patient was receive ATOR this
lipid-lowering agent, primary management of hypercholestelomia and mixed dyslipidemia. Side effect
-2-
confusion, chest pain, rashes and increase liver enzyme. The patient HR 79bpm (normal). RR 16
b/m (normal), spo2 96 %( normal). T was 36, 5 c was normal. Blood glucose 72 mg/dl (normal). K 4,8
normal, Na 134 is low, Ca 0,83 what is your nursing observations that you need to consider?
2- The patient had impaired physical mobility as my patient, had muscle weakness. Activity restriction
because his weakness, also was had catheter this also restricted his mobility. After I entered to the
patient urine output was 1100ml, I removed it and after one hour excrete 100m this should be related
to the CO issue in the first cluster l. wasn’t oriented and GCS was 13 and had sluggish pupil and size
2mm. limited ROM, Oxford muscle 4 in upper limbs and 3 in lower limbs. So I achieved safety after I
entered for avoid and hazard happen also did the environment suitable around the patient and
maintained bed clean and side rails up, also did identification first. Fall risk assessment was 13 is low
risk not it is high risk because 13 or more are liable for fall. Braden risk assessment is 14 is
moderate risk. Also the patient had difficult in swallowing as eat soft food as the patient was had past
medical history about stroke. Also the patient had disturbance sleeping.
3- The patient high risk for infection as the patient had PVC in heft hand and this invasive procedure.
Also from hospitalization period as the patient was in another hospital and transport to this hospital
for 3 days. As the patient was receive ceftriaxone this anti-effective, treatment of skin structure
infection. Side effect high dose do seizure, rash, diarrhea and pain. The patient WBC 4, 4 is normal,
RBC 5, 13 normal. What is your nursing consideration to maintains safe antibiotic administration
4- High risk for Impaired skin integrity nursing dx should be mentioned in the coming section not here
as the patient may still a long time without moving as he didn’t able to do it, had pale skin, oral care
assessment was 15, what else is causing the risk for the disruption of skin integrity? Aging?
Diabetes? Friction and shearing? so I start to change position and start do care for him, also for
avoid happen bed sores. This should be in the implementation part!
5- Anxiety as my patient was stress from it and was sad because another person feed him, move him
and everything he depend on another person’s, also he was sad because of his illness do him didn’t
able to do his work, has stress from hospital and because he didn’t see his sons most of the time.
Also his brother was sad because he need him in a good condition, so I was support him and deal
with them a good way did them trusted me. This is more to be self-care deficit
6- The patient also high risk for fall as he had problem in his eye as he had cataract, sluggish pupil, this
affect to the patient as my fall from the bed so I was raise side rails, or happen injury to from another
things so I was had close observation to the patient. What else is posing him as risk of falling?
Week 2 Faculty:
You have provided a priority assessment for both physical and psychological assessment. Indeed, you need
to emphasis more about your assessment for safety and medications.
Week 3 Student: Today in psychiatric simulation lab I was a primary nurse. I was deal with substance abuser
patient. Initial name us E.O, female, 35 years old (in which developmental stage), admitted to ER, She has
Heroin overdose.
1- According my assessment, first nursing diagnosis is pain as the patient, she admitted because over
dose of heroin and receive 2 dose of naloxone (why??). Is the patient has severe abdominal pain and
facial expression is Grimacing due to pain, feel discomfort and shout say I have severe pain also was
has muscle ??and joint pain, I did distracting technique for him and did pain assessment (describe ,
called the doctor and doctor prescribed for it Acetaminophen 300 mg, this is pain relief refiling. The
-3-
patient was has nausea and vomiting so was take Metoclopramide 10 mg IV every 6 hours. The
withdrawal symptoms of opioid appear to the patient after take naloxone is opioid antagonist, as the
patient was has sweating, restlessness, Runny nose, vomiting, abdominal cramp, dilated pupil, tearing
and agitation. The patient was receive 200ml/hr of normal saline as fluid and electrolyte balance. Past
medical history, patient has been admitted twice before for heroin over dose and for 5 years ago did
back surgery and was take morphine, she became addicted and moved to heroin 2 years ago. Also she
has drug rehabilitation 3 times prior in the last 3 years which indicate ineffective coping. RR WAS 16
b/m normal. BP was 140/100 mmHg, CRT less than 3 second. Labs are pending for BAL, Urine
toxicology, magnesium and phosphorus.
2- Second nursing diagnosis is Anxiety as the patient has restlessness, agitation because she in
withdrawal symptoms of Opioid, she has 3 children and currently is going through divorce with her
husband (psychosocial disturbances due to addiction) . She was cry and say I didn’t able do care to my
children, say no anyone care for me, say I feel alone, also she missed her work and she was say I want

withdrawal symptoms and will disappear after several days of taking the medication also was anxiety
from the pain. We called the doctor and doctor prescribes for her Diazepam 5mg PO is anti-anxiety.
3- Third nursing diagnosis is Ineffective coping as the patient didn’t able to cope with the withdrawal
symptoms, also because she missed her work, didn’t able to care for her children, currently is going
through divorce with her husband, so I and my colleague start to assess her psychological condition, as
tried support her, say to her that withdrawal symptoms (the pt. was in which stage of addiction) will
disappear after several days after taking the medication, didn’t able to cope with hospital period and say
I will go out. Also she was has agitation, restlessness also the effect of the pain.
4- The patient high risk for injury because of withdrawal symptoms appear to him, feel alone went leave
the bed and go out also the pain effect do him uncomfortable. So we achieved safety for avoid any
hazard happen and environment available for him. Also achieved identification for avoid any error such
as medication error. Try to support her and tell her the coming will be better after taking the medication
and will return to normal life again.

Feedback:
Week 2 Student: 1st The patient Blood Pressure will return to normal range, have present pedal pulse, normal
carotid pulse and normal HDL.C after receiving his medication as Ator, Lasix and omeprazole through treatment
plan, through long time (2 Weeks). The patient will show signs of adequate cardiac output evidence by BP= 120-
140/ 60-90 mm hg after 1-2 hours.
2nd The patient will maintain normal muscle strength as has normal Oxford muscle, normal ROM, after resolving
the problem of the disease and removing catheter through long treatment plan (2 weeks) This is not realistic, but
at least you can say . The patient will show gradual active participation during ROM activity after 10-20 minutes
-6-
of demonstration.
3rd The patient will be free from any infection as evidence by clean woundTemperature ,normal , normal WBC
during my shift through 4 hours.
Week 2 Faculty:

disease process.
2- Record urine output because the renal system is counterbalance low BP by retaining water
3- Do ECG for compromise cardiac output
4- Give low cholesterol diet for manage Atherosclerosis
5- Medication such as Lasix (diuretics), Ator (lipid- lowering agent) what else? Positioning? What is the fluid
balance required?
Week 2 Faculty:
Ali, you have provided your patient with acceptable intervention within the clinical placement, yet your writng
does not reflect what you have already done. Indeed, you did not provide any analysis to your interventions and
why you selected them. You need to read more about the nursing care plan from Lewis or Medical surgical
textbooks to enrich your knowledge on the appropriate nursing care plan to your patient.
Week 3 Student: For first nursing diagnosis
1- Pain assessment for know about severity of pain and coping of patient with it
2- Distracting technique, such as look at me, try to forget the pain, turn you attention away from it, listen to
anything and position do you feel comfortable

For second outcome unmet because the activity will return to normal after resolve disease process and this also
need long term plan and after resolving it will be met so what is your action plan or your follow up plan? Reflect
For third outcome met as no found any signs of infection also normal WBC and normal Temperature.
Week 2 Faculty:
Because you have not formulated your EOC within the SMART criteria, you have the outcome as UNMET as
your EOC was not realistic. Indeed, what was your impact on your patient since 2 out of 3 nursing outcomes are
unmet?
Week 3 Student: 1st Met as patient pain relieved after distracting technique and took the medication
2nd Met as the patient anxiety relived after session of support, introduce appropriate care and took the medication
3rd Met as the patient was able to cope after doing calm environment and more explanation about withdrawal
symptoms.
Week 3 Faculty: the last evaluation need to reevaluated again as it is long term problem and can not achieved

Week 2 Student:
first I will explain thing happen to me through Kim’s model, when I deal with my patient and do assessment and
care for him, I saw one of the student nurse from El Hurghada nursing school bring medication and give it to one
of the patients, I asked him do you know this medication he answer me no but the nurse told to do it, I told him
didn’t give any medication without know about it for avoid any complication happen, also for avoid problem
happen to you, and he didn’t do documentation. Also didn’t follow six right and three checks. So I did research
after going to the institute and I was found from article that the nurse is responsible about medication
administration if any error happen the patient will suffer from it also the nurse will responsible about this error and
the nurse punished, also found following ten rights not six rights (Right patient, route, dose, time, drug,
knowledge, right to refuse, right questions or challenges, right advice, right response and outcome)
so the nurse be aware about it. So if happen this situation again, I will give more advice to the nurse to follow 3
checks and ten rights also know about the medication that give it, according to myself I will not give any
medication I don’t know about it, do search and know it first. (Edwards, et al. 2015). So Ali, what did you learn
from this situation? Is this new to you?
I was prepared very well before going to ICU as read about stroke, myocardial infraction but after I took this
case I came and read more about it. Also I did action plan before going to it was about CO3 Documentation I
could achieve it but found some defect such as didn’t do it in timely because another thing do me busy about it.
CO5 about ethical, legal regulatory guidelines and professional standard of nursing practice and I could achieve
it as I was read about principles of ethics from ethics handout so this helped me when I work with the patient also
page of ethics that found in clinical package. I did search about information of atherosclerosis and shared it with
my clinical instructor,
- 11 -
I was follow steps when I do any procedure for avoid any error happen such as when I empty the urine bag,
first wear gloves, do disinfect empty it in urinal for know about the amount, check color and observe the bag
every hour for know about amount and if any abnormality also observe catheter if found any complication. I was
follow GTNI uniform policy and prepared my equipment. I was deal a respect way with my patient and everyone
in the area including my colleagues, nurses and my clinical instructor. Also respect professional boundaries as I
didn’t ask the patient about things not from my role ask about it also I was take permission before I touch him or
when I do any procedure.
Week 2 Faculty:
You were showing preparedness to the clinical placmenet by being on time and adhering to uniform policy.
However, what did you learn from your KIM’s Model? It is very superficial and does not enrich your knowledge.
Thus, you need to select a new topic to reflect upon via using PICO format.
Week 3 Student: First I will explain situation through Kim’s Model. After I entered to patient was has anxiety and
ineffective coping with the symptoms appear to her and also the environment because the night nurse didn’t
introduce appropriate care to her, as she didn’t give her information about withdrawal symptoms, didn’t do the
environment suitable for her, didn’t support her and has bad facial expression with the patient. After I entered to
the patient I and my colleague we introduced very good care to the patient, as give more information, good facial
expression, support her and many of intervention so the anxiety relived and patient became able to cope with
treatment and environment. So after I did research I found that e if the patient received appropriate care as
safety environment, support, complete intervention for improve patient condition, good way of communication
and do the patient able to take decision making this do the patient gain trust, feel high self-esteem and feel safe.
So I learned from this situation should introduce appropriate care to the patient this do the patient accept
treatment, coping with environment and feel safe. (Jarrar, et al. 2015). I prepared very well before I come to
simulation lab very well from handout and from Elsevier, so I was able to share information with my colleagues
and clinical instructor during discussion. Also was able to deal with the patient as do complete assessment and
complete intervention. Also I did action plan before I come was about CO1 Assessment (Assess Physical,
Psychological, environment) I could do I and my colleague as we could do complete assessment. CO7 (critical
thinking) as I and my colleague achieved it through get complete date and integrate it and many of thing we did it
and I will explain more in CO7. I Was follow GTNI uniform policy and prepared my equipment. I was follow steps
when I do any procedure for avoid any error. Achieved safety and identification for avoid any hazard happen
such as medication error or injury. I respect professional boundaries as I didn’t ask the patient about things not
from role ask about it and I was take a permission from the patient before I touch her or when I do any
procedure. I was respect everyone in the area my colleagues, clinical instructor and deal with them a
professional way. Also speak a good way with the patient so she trusted me and accept treatment. I was share
my information with my colleagues and clinical instructor during simulation lab and If I didn’t know any question I
was ask my clinical instructor and she was answer me.
Week 3 Faculty: actually you do go effort to achieve this objective during the simulation lab by promote a spirit of
inquiry and innovative thinking in the pursuit of learning among peers and colleagues in the development of a
caring, professional identity

Faculty 3 3
Feedback:
Week 2 Student:
What are the barriers and facilitators to your communication? Age, educational level, any chronic or sensory
problems ? This should be your start in the RJ
when I deal with the patient I used many of therapeutic communication such as open-end question when I ask
the patient do you have past medication history he answer me, I was have stroke, this question was effective
with the patient as he start to give me many of information about his disease, as the patient didn’t able to speak
more I used closed-end question such as do you have allergy he answer me no as the patient was comfortable
when I use this type of technique. As the patient was has stress I start to use touch techniques with him and was
helpful to the patient. I was deal with him acceptable a good way for gain trust and he trusted me.
Also I was deal a good way with everyone in the area including my colleagues and we were co-operative with
us and help us for introduce appropriate care to the patients, also I was deal a good way with my clinical
instructor and all the nurses in the area. I could do documentation but my defect do it in timely because found
another things that attract my attention to do it. I was observe my patient immediately if any change happened
also I was ask my clinical instructor about things I didn’t know it and was helpful to me and answer my questions.
I was do ISBAR handover and give handover to the nurse that assigned to case for she following the care. Also I
was give ISBAR handover to my colleague that was assigned leader in this day.

Week 2 Faculty:
Your documentation needs tremendous improvement, you left blank pages in the clinical pack which is
required from you to be fulfilled during the clinical period. Indeed, you are avoidant and tend to stay isolated from
your colleagues and clinical instructors during the clinical period. Thus, you need to improve yourself based on
those comments and add them to your coming week’s action plan.
Week 3 Student: I used with the patient therapeutic technique like open- ended questions to express her
feelings as I asked her what do you feel, she answered me I feel anxiety because I didn’t able to do my role. This
technique was effective as the patient started to tell me about the whole story about the addiction. Also I used
close- ended questions as the patient was having severe pain as this technique was effective to decrease the
patient’s fatigue and also to make her decrease her anxiety. When I ask her Do you have children, she answered
me yes and this was effective with the patient was didn’t able to complete a sentence, also I used non- verbal
communication such touch technique and eye to eye contact for support the patient and gain trust and the
patient trusted me. I was deal a professional way with my colleague as we were co-operative and we could
introduce appropriate care to the patient and the patient trusted us. I used ISBAR handover when I called the
doctor to prescribe the medication for my case. I did documentation after I finished because the documentation is
evidence about the work but I didn’t complete it because was not find enough time, but I will consider to it next
time. I and my colleague we were more organize as one prepare the medication and one with the patient, so we
could do appropriate intervention to the patient. I was share my information with my colleagues and clinical
instructor during simulation and this was helpful to me for gain more knowledge. Also I told the doctor about
changes and signs&symptoms appear to the patient and prescribed to me the medication.
Week 3 Faculty: actually you used different and effective communication techniques with your pt. but you need
also to assess barriers for communication and how you respond promptly to the changes in your pt.’s condition

What are the barriers and facilitators for the communication session?
First I did evaluation to the patient education as the patient didn’t able to read so I start to give him health
teaching by verbal also told his brother about this health teaching that was about, give more information about
the disease and medications, also about a healthy diet is low fat diet and can eat soft diet such as Yoghurt and
chess. Fruits (include banana), vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and oily fish. No smoking because it from
risk factor of happening atherosclerosis, also take medication as direct for maintain normal BP and maintain
normal blood sugar(Alvidrez, et al 2017).
Advise his brother to change his position every 2 hours for avoid bed sores, teach him about ROM for encourage
activity, encourage soft diet as the patient was easy to eat it. Care for provide a good hygiene also be aware
about catheter for avoid any cutting. , advised his brother to deal with him in appropriate way how and stay with
him most of the time also do his sons to stay with him for decrease patient stress. The patient and his brother
were verbalize to me what they understood. I did documentation about this health teaching.
Week 2 Faculty:
You need to refer to the health teaching in your clinical pack and the materials that you have used during the
clinical placmenet as an evidence of achievement for this objective.
Week 3 Student: first I assessed the way that the patient able to understand me by it, and the patient was able to
understand me by verbal. I and my colleague didn’t give complete health teaching but the health teaching we
gave it was. Information about the medication as we told the patient that acetaminophen is analgesic and anti-
pyretics (pain relieving), Diazepam is anti-anxiety. Also we told him about the trigger of abuse, as told him to be
away from it after finish this treatment for avoid be abuser again. Told her about withdrawal symptoms are
(sweating, tachycardia, runny nose, dilated pupils. Nausea and vomiting, increased respiration, tearing and
diarrhea).distracting technique for pain relieving and we taught her to do it. Support her for relief anxiety. Told
her that the withdrawal symptoms will disappear after several days after taking the medication, this motivate her
to cope with the treatment. Motivate her more and more to accept treatment to return to her normal life again. I
was do the patient verbalize to me what I said for ensure that she understood us and was able to understand us.
But I didn’t do documentation about health teaching we gave it but next time I will consider to it.
Week 3 Faculty: Aly you need to assess first the factors that hinder the pt. ability to receive the health teaching.
Also you need to be more assertive to give your pt. a health teaching by preparing for the health teaching
session day before the simulation lab.
