Limitations to Clinical Practice

During this clinical rotation, students may, with preceptors’ consent and supervision, assume responsibility for all the nursing activities within the preceptors’ roles. The following are exceptions to this rule.

Students may not do the following:

1. Witness any consent forms or advance directive forms.2. Administer any medications in the mental health setting.3. Perform any task that requires certification or advanced instruction (i.e., arterial blood

gas (ABG) puncture, chemotherapy, removal of central venous catheter, interpretation/monitoring of EKGs).

4. Take physician orders either verbally or by phone. 5. Transcribe physician orders.6. Initiate invasive monitoring.7. Regulated epidural analgesia.8. Remove epidural catheters.9. Remove surgically inserted drains and/or tubes (e.g. Jackson-Pratt drains, Hemovac

drains) without direct supervision by a Registered Nurse.10. Solely monitor patient during and following conscious sedation.11. Witness wasting or the sign out controlled medications in Accudose, Pyxis or Meditrol

medication delivery systems.12. Perform end of shift controlled medication count (if applicable). 13. Have controlled medication keys in their possession (if applicable).14. Verify blood products and/or witness blood administration forms.15. Perform any invasive procedure on each other in any setting (i.e., injections,

catheterization, IV starts).16. Perform any task during a code situation, except those skills learned in BLS.17. Interventions that the facility restricts the student from performing.18. Any skill/procedure that has not been covered in a nursing lab.19. Any task outside the RN scope of practice as identified by facility.

Medication Knowledge Base

Drug required knowledge is mandatory for each medication prescribed for each assigned patient. Students will not be administering medications to patients in this clinical experience.

If you can memorize and retain information without writing it down, you may do this, but you may not pass medications without this knowledge at hand – use of reference materials at the cart side or at the PYXIS is time prohibitive and must be a rare back-up system.

Student must be prepared to recite required knowledge base (as outlined below) at med-cart or PYXIS as requested by instructor.

Using a drug knowledge tool is useful in review for future clinical rotations and for NCLEX

review and to prepare for different patients.

Medication knowledge base MUST include the MINIMAL information as reflected on the following page-Medication Preparation Log (MPL)

‘Must know’ could be ‘Take pulse’ for drugs affecting heart rate or rhythm, ‘Take BP’ for drugs affecting BP, ‘Check K+’ before administering potassium supplements, ‘Check BG’ for insulin or other drugs affecting BG, etc.

Clinical Reflective Journal – Optional

Personal Journal:Students will submit a daily journal to their clinical supervisor on the clinical day designated by the clinical supervisor. A sheet of single paper or a non-spiral notebook may be used.This is a tool designed for a personal inner journey rather than a reporting of what you have observed or done. It is a journal of your thoughts and feelings about your clinical experiences.This is confidential between your instructor and you and you may receive feedback. It is hoped that the reflections and insight one develops as a result of the journal will foster personal and professional growth.

Suggestions for beginning journal:1 – What was the high point of my day? Low point?2 – Was I in disagreement with anyone? How did I handle it?3 – What changes did I make in my thinking or behavior?4 – How could I improve my day?5 – What has been on my mind today?6 – What are two choices I made today?7 – What did I procrastinate on today?8 – What feelings did I identify today?9 – Say one positive thing about yourself for today.10 – What happened to me was…………………..11 – What this means to me is……………………12 – For the first time I now understand………..13 – I still question………………………………..14 – Other

Journal Goals: Students are expected to submit 2 personal daily goals in their journal. Goals should be evaluated in writing at the conclusion of the day prior to submitting the journal on the following day.

The mental status examination is a process wherein a clinician systematically examines an individual’s mental functioning. Each area of function is considered separately.

Appearance: This category covers the physical aspects of the individuals. Include: Physical appearance, height and weight, how person is dressed and groomed, dominant attitude during interview, such as degree of poise or comfort, degree of anxiety, and how anxiety is expressed.

Behavior: How does the person move and the position in which he/she holds body. Noteabnormal tics, movement disorders, and degree of movement.

Speech: Separate speech from content of thought. Note volume, rate of flow of speech(fast, slow, halting, extremely loud). Include mannerisms, accent, stress or lack of it, hesitations, stuttering. Use descriptive words like garrulous, monotonous, loud or emotional.

Mood/Affect: Affect is the outward show of emotion. Can vary thru depression, elation, anger, and normality, but if the overall sense from the examination is depressed, depressed is the word to describe the mood. Mood is the general pervasive emotional state as reported by client. Range describes if the person shows a full or even expanded range or if the affect is blunted or restricted. Include cultural considerations. Consider appropriateness of affect – is the emotion consistent with the topic being discussed. A client with inappropriate affect may cry when talking about a parking ticket and show little or no emotion when discussing the death of a loved one.

Thought: Thought is divided into process, the way a person thinks, and content. What he/she thinks.Process: The rate of thoughts, how they flow and are connected. A formal

thought disorder comprises processes such as pressured thoughts, (excessively rapid), flight of ideas, thought blocking (speech is halted), disconnected thoughts (loosening of association, derailment), tangentiality, circumstantial thoughts (over inclusive and slow to get to the point), word salad (nonsensical responses), punning (talking in riddles), poverty of speech (limited content).

Content: Includes those things discussed in the interview and the person’s beliefs. May have preoccupying thoughts – ideas of reference, obsessions, ruminations or phobias. The person may have delusions of control, thought insertion, broadcast, or delusions – persecutory, grandiose, religious, reference, somatic, morbid jealousy. For example, a depressed person may have delusions of hopelessness, helplessness or worthlessness.

Perceptions: Covers sensory areas and describes distortions such as illusions, delusions or hallucinations. Describe the nature of the experience in detail. Auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) is more common in schizophrenics, visual disturbances are more common in organic problems. In addition, there are gustatory, olfactory, tactile, somatic, and kinesthetic hallucinations. Depersonalization (the person feels unreal) are described here.

Ask “do you hear voices when no one else is around?” “Do you see things such as ghosts, spirits, or angels?” Ask if the voices are commanding the person to do anything, particularly homicidal or suicidal acts. Hallucinations can be in the form of a running commentary. If the voices command a person to do something, does the person obey the instructions or ignore them. Sometimes hallucinations are not well-formed voices or objects – persons may hear bells ringing, knocking at the door, banging sounds in his ears, or see vague things like halos or colors which are difficult to describe.

Note how persons cope with the hallucinations and whether they are pleasant, unpleasant or terrifying. Comment on the hallucinatory behavior, such as person looking back repeatedly, gesturing or engaged in self-talk. To determine if the person is having delusions, ask do you feel you have some special power or abilities? Does the radio or TV give them special messages? Does the person have thoughts that other people think are strange?

Obsessions and compulsions: Is the person afraid of dirt? Does he wash his hands frequently or wash hands repeatedly.

Phobias: Does the person have any fear, such as animals, heights, snakes, crowds, etc.

Preoccupations: Ask about ideas about the person’s body: He may believe he is changing or has changed, that his elimination functions, sexual functions, or digestive functions work in different or bizarre ways.

Cognition: Look at areas of abstract thought which declines or is absent in a number of conditions such as schizophrenia or dementia, level of general education and intelligence, degree of concentration.

Consciousness: Level of conscious state is assessed, whether it is steady, fluctuating, cloudy, or clear. Rate: 1=coma 2=stuporous 3=lethargic/evidence of drowsiness 4=alert.

Orientation: Ask if the person knows the time and date, place, person (who he/she is), and the situation the person is in.

Memory: Memory is tested by looking for immediate recall. Give the client 3 unrelated words (yellow, fox, Chicago) and ask him to repeat them. In 5 minutes ask the

person to repeat them again. Do not tell the person that you will ask them to repeat them in 5 minutes. (You need to write them down so you remember.)

Recent recall: What did the person eat two meals ago?Remote memory: When and where was the person born? Where did he go to high school?Confabulation: Filling in memory lapses by guessing or making up events. Persons may do this if they cannot remember – if this occurs, just note it. You might have to check information with outside sources for verification. You can test for confabulation by asking if the person has seen you before – the person who confabulates may fabricate details of a meeting which did not take place.

Concentration and Attention:May be impaired for a variety of reasons: cognitive disorder, anxiety, depression,internal stimuli. Ask the person to subtract 7 from 100 and keep subtracting 7 from the answer (serial 7s). Average time to complete is 90 seconds. Note the person’s response to the task: irritability, frequent hesitation, or questioning. Four or more errors is considered marginal; 7 or more indicates a poor performance. If the person cannot begin the task, start at 50 and subtract 3s. If he is unable to do that, have him count backward from 10. He is not to use paper to complete the task.

Others: Dreams: Are there dreams, how often, how vivid, any repetitive dreams, nightmares? What is the content of dreams.

Déjà vu: Sensation of having been in situations similar to the present one.

Presence of suicidal/homicidal thoughts. Must inquire about specific plans,suicide notes, impulse control. If positive, will he contract for safety?

Ask if person has any thoughts of wanting to hurt anyone, wishing someone was dead? If yes, ask about specific plans.

Intellectual Functioning:General knowledge: Who is the President, name 5 last presidents.What is happening in the world? (war, economy). Name 5 majorUS cities. If you go to McDonalds and buy 2 hamburgers for 70 cents each and pay $2, how much change will you get back? Or, how muchis a quarter, dime, nickel and penny?

Math calculations: Ask basic math problems: 4+6 or 13-8.Complex: Add 14+17.

Ability to abstract:Determine similarities

How are an orange and a pear alike? Good answer = fruit, Poor answer = round.

How are a fly and a tree alike? Good answer = alive, Poor answer = nothing

How are a train and car alike?Good answer = modes of transportation, Poor answer = they both have wheels

Proverbs Ask “what does it mean to say: Don’t count your chickens before they are

hatched? Good answer = Don’t plan on future gains before they happen. Poor answer = chickens are little.

Judgment and Insight:Evaluate judgment with person’s response to: “What would you do if you were in a crowded theatre and smelled smoke?”“What would you do if you found an addressed, stamped envelope lying in the street?”

Insight: How does the person perceive his present problem? “How did things come to be this way?

18 of 31Interaction Process Recording Instructions

The purpose of the Interactive Process Recording (IPR) is to demonstrate the student’s skills in understanding and refining therapeutic interactions as part of the nurse-client relationship. The analysis of interactions with the patient promotes the student’s ability to use the key therapeutic tool, the use of self, to facilitate growth in the nurse-client relationship. The IPR assists the student to recognize personal feelings, actions and interactions throughout the orientation, working, and termination phases of the relationship and to identify areas needing improvement. Must have a minimum of 15 interchanges of interaction.

Instructions for Completing IPR Form

A. Cover Sheet

B. Dialogue/Analysis1. Place all statements and nonverbal communications in the column under interaction. Statements

by the student and client are to be recorded verbatim – for example: “and then she just passed away.”

2. Student analysis columna. Enter the type of therapeutic technique used. “Silence” whether it was Therapeutic (T) or

Non-therapeutic (N).b. Student rationale – to allow the patient more time to think about the death of his mother –

and your thoughts about the client’s response. He seemed close to tears and I felt uncomfortable that I may have to see him cry. I did well not talking – I wanted to say something like I felt sad when my grandmother died, but I didn’t – I allowed him the time he needed to process his feelings.

c. Alternative statement (2) and for each (N) response.3. Client analysis column

a. Analysis of client’s thoughts, feelings and response – possibly looking for approval from student.

b. Anxiety level – rate none, mild, moderate, severe or panic. May also use 0, +1, +2, +3, +4.

c. Labile defense mechanisms (2 required). If none, state none seen.

C. Evaluation Sheet

D. Basic Script for Opening“Hello, I am a nursing student at ____________. I would like to talk with you for about 20 minutes about some concerns or issues you may have which are related to the reasons you are here for treatment.” When client agrees, say: “Anything we talk about is confidential.” If the patient is unsure of where to start, use the following: “Tell me about the goals you are working on for your treatment plan.”

19 of 31E. General Suggestions

1. Be direct in asking the patient to talk with you. Nurse counseling is a legitimate role and nurses should be comfortable with it.

2. Utilize seating arrangement to facilitate the IPR.3. Take a deep breath and set yourself before you start.4. Use who, what, where, and when to follow up client statements as appropriate.5. Avoid use of why and how statements.6. Avoid jargon, euphemisms, slang and figures of speech, may be misunderstood.7. Do not over-sympathize with the client about problems of living in the hospital.8. Do not agree with “you know”. Clarify what they mean.9. When the client uses psychiatric terms, ask what they mean by them.10. Avoid close-ended questions.11. Don’t get into the physical nursing role when counseling (i.e., “Do you need to lie down?”).12. Do not tell the client how he should feel.13. Do not use judgmental words like that was good, bad or great.14. Don’t spend time discussing a client’s diagnosis.15. Do not give advice.16. If the client talks about things he would not do, ask what he would do or did.17. Do not defend the staff or hospital.18. Do not share personal information about yourself, students, or staff. Divert the questions by

saying “This is your time to talk about you.”19. If your client is crying or emotional at the end of a session, stay with them. Ask if they are

feeling OK and do they have someone to talk to. Don’t just leave them.20. Always report what client told you to staff before leaving the unit.
