What This Document Is
This document is a remediation guide designed to help students review and strengthen their understanding of nutrition concepts following a proctor exam in the Beginning Medical Surgical Nursing (NUR 105) course at Long Beach City College. It focuses on identifying areas for improvement based on individual performance data and utilizing evidence-based resources for targeted review.
Why This Document Matters
This remediation guide is essential for students who want to improve their scores on future nutrition assessments and solidify their foundational nursing knowledge. It’s used *after* completing an initial practice assessment to pinpoint specific areas needing further study. The guide exists to bridge gaps in understanding and prepare students for the demands of medical-surgical nursing practice where nutritional considerations are paramount.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is *not* a comprehensive nutrition textbook or a substitute for attending lectures or completing assigned readings. It doesn’t provide direct answers or solutions to exam questions. Instead, it’s a tool to guide self-directed study. Students will still need to actively engage with course materials and external resources to fully grasp the concepts.
What This Document Provides
This guide outlines a process for remediation using an “ATI Individual Performance Profile” report. It lists eight NCLEX Client Need Categories relevant to nutrition, and provides a list of specific topics covered on the nutrition proctor exam, including areas like gastrointestinal disorders, nutrition across the lifespan, and vitamin deficiencies. It also details how to utilize the six Cognitive Functions from the NCSBN Clinical Judgement Measurement Model (NCJMM) – Recognize Cues, Analyze Cues, Prioritize Hypotheses, Generate Solutions, Take Actions, and Evaluate Outcomes – to structure your review. The document does *not* include the full ATI report, textbook content, or detailed explanations of each nutrition concept; it directs you to those resources.
