This document is a Post-Clinical Worksheet designed for students in Herzing University’s Nursing Fundamental Concepts (NSG 122) course. It’s intended for use *after* a clinical simulation (vSim) focused on a patient case.
This worksheet is a key component of applying classroom learning to a realistic patient scenario. It’s used to reflect on observations, identify patient needs, and plan nursing interventions. It’s specifically tied to a Week 1 clinical assignment involving a patient named JM.
This worksheet does *not* provide instruction on nursing skills or disease processes. It requires students to *apply* existing knowledge. It also doesn’t contain the full vSim scenario details – those are experienced separately.
This Post-Clinical Worksheet includes sections for documenting patient data (allergies, code status, diagnoses), identifying shift goals and patient education needs, outlining potential complications, and prioritizing care. It also prompts students to consider delegation of tasks and necessary consultations (like Wound Care). The document focuses on a patient with chronic venous insufficiency, a venous ulcer, and related health concerns.
