Comment of CI in Yr 2 (Sept, 2013)

Tsz Yeung Samson overall performance was unsatisfactory in last three weeks. He is a cheerful person and motivated learner. He was active to practice various nursing procedures (aseptic technique and intravenous drug administration) in supervisory skills laboratory in school and also in ward. He was very weak in planning his nursing care and prioritizes his nursing care according to his patient’s need. He was very poor in time management even though he carried out total patient care for two patients only. He performed all his nursing care in a very slow pace manner even though he assigned to take care the same patients (Bed 12,13) in last two week clinical practicum. He failed to demonstrate problem-solving behavior and critical thinking when he provided nursing care to his patients. He was unable to work independently. He required frequent prompting and assisting with constantly cue given by clinical instructor and 2nd assessor. He could not organize his nursing care in systematic ways with good coordination manner which could affect his effectiveness and efficiency of nursing care. He needs frequent probing and advice from clinical instructor and teammates when he was doing most of nursing procedures and daily routine. He was unable to perform comprehensive nursing assessment: because he kept missing important details about patient’s condition while performing risk of fall assessment on his patient and carried out comprehensive post operative care. His performance in aseptic technique was unsatisfactory due to repeated mistake, such as, contamination dressing materials and patient’s wound. In addition, he failed in AOM as his carelessness in administration medication and forgot to documentation after drug administration. Future direction: he is advised to further fine-tone his skills in basic and advanced nursing skills in order to increase his confidence working in clinical area and maintain patient safety in future. He needs to set priority for his nursing care and procedures. He must improve his communication skill by providing education to patients.
