What This Document Is
This document is a process recording, a type of interaction paper completed by a nursing student (Student Name: not provided) as part of the NUR 1460C Health-Illness Concepts Across the Lifespan I course at Florida State College at Jacksonville. It details a one-on-one interaction with a client (identified as JW) at the River Front Behavioral Health Center on September 30, 2012, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Carla Hetzel.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is designed for students in the Associate Degree in Nursing program. It’s used to systematically collect data during a nurse-client interaction, allowing students to plan, structure, and evaluate nursing interventions based on identified client needs. It’s a key component of psychiatric-mental health clinical experience.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This is a single example of a process recording. It represents one specific interaction and should not be used as a comprehensive guide to all patient interactions. It is a student assignment and reflects the student’s learning process, not a finished clinical assessment.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: a record of the verbal exchange between the student nurse and the client, including the nurse’s statements and the client’s responses; analysis of the communication exchange using nursing concepts and rationales; client’s initial DSM IV, TR diagnoses (Axis I-V); stated client goals for the interaction; and a description of the client and the initial setting. This preview only provides a portion of the interaction itself.
