medications . The patency of the IV line and site should be assessed prior to and during the administration of the IV solution or medication . All IV solutions or medications should be labeled according to agency protocol . The student will verbally review the IV medication with the patient, when appropriate . The patient will be observed to determine response and side eff ects to IV therapy and medications . Students and faculty will scan and document IV solutions and medications and will document on intake and output record according to agency protocol . Nursing Student Program Completion Student Exit Interview and Survey (Prior to Graduation) Students in the final semester will have an exit interview with an assigned faculty member to share their thoughts regarding the Program and make recommendations for improvement . In addition, they will be given a confidential survey (Nursing Student Evaluation of Program at Graduation Tool (NSEPG)), regarding satisfaction with the Nursing Program including meeting end- of program student learning outcomes . All written and verbal data will remain confidentia
the purpose, action, dose and rate, possible interactions, side eff ects, compatibilities and nursing considerations prior to administration of a prescribed IV solution or medication . All IV solutions and medication preparation must be done under the direct supervision of the clinical instructor . • Students and clinical faculty will administer medication according to agency policies and procedures . Safe administration of IV medications is a clinical requirement . Inability to do so will result in a student being placed on nursing academic warning and possible dismissal from the program . • A student may not administer an IV solution or medication when the medication renewal time has expired, the patient does not have proper identific tion (according to agency protocol) or the solution or medication was prepared by another person . The only exception to this is IV solutions or medications prepared and labeled by the pharmacy s taff. The student and faculty should verify each IV solution and medication to be administered by the student according to agency protocol . The student should assess necessary baseline parameters prior to administration, e . g . lab values, including IV drug lines, vital signs, time of last administered dose, urine output, allergies, etc . IV solutions will be given according to the “Seven Rights” for administration of medications: • Right Drug • Right Dose • Right Route • Right Patient • Right Time • Right Documentation • Right to Refuse IV solutions and medications should be prepared, scanned, and administered to one patient at a time under the direct supervision of the clinical faculty . Patient identifiction should be confirmed using at least two identifiers according to agency policy prior to the administration of IV solutions or
and be reported in the aggregate . Faculty Evaluation of Student Final Summary
A final summary is written for each student by the assigned faculty at the end of the program describing their attainment of the end-of-program student learning outcomes . It is written no longer than one month before a student’s completion . The faculty will use the Clinical Evaluation Tools (CETs) as a guide for this evaluation of the student’s progress in meeting the end-of-program student learning outcomes (SLOs) . This document is then signed by the student and faculty and placed in the student’s nursing fil . Any honors or awards the student has received will be noted in the summary . This summary remains as part of the graduate’s record ad infinitum and is used as the basis for references .
