Instructional Model
NUR 370 is a 4-credit course that includes theoretical, lab and clinical components. This course introduces the beginning nursing student to the concepts and skills related to mental health and psychiatric nursing across the life span. Two hours per week are designated for theory content. Theory content will be presented through lecture, small group discussion, independent viewing of media, and group assignments. The completion of assigned readings and media prior to each class is necessary to facilitate comprehension, understanding and integration of content vital to this course. Six hours a week are designated for lab/clinical study. The lab content of the course will be front loaded with the students utilizing clinical time initially in the simulation lab to expand and evaluate interpersonal skills. The clinical practicum will provide immersion with acutely ill adults and children.

Evaluation/Grading Scale Standard College of Nursing grading scale will be utilized to report course grades. Percentages will be rounded to the nearest whole number before a grade point is assigned. Points > 0.5 will be rounded up. See Clinical Performance Evaluation form for further clarification of grade determination.
100-94% 4.0 93-89% 3.5 84-88% 3.0 83-79% 2.5 75-78% 2.0 74-70% 1.5 65-69% 1.0 <64% 0
Fifty percent of the course grade is based on the theory portion of this course and the other 50% of
the course grade is based on the clinical portion. The theory grade will be based on quizzes and exams. In addition to the theory quizzes and exams, the students will be responsible for completion of one standardized examination from Educational Resources, Inc. (Mental Health Nursing). A score at or above the national average will result in ½% point added to the course examinations. Students must receive a passing score on the theory examinations to receive the additional points from the ERI examination. Students receiving below national average scores on the exam are be required to complete remediation materials. All documentation and scores for ERI will be maintained by students in their portfolio and monitored by the Integrative Seminar faculty.
The specific breakdown of all of the evaluation activities are included below. Theory portion of the course The theory portion of the grading is based on medication quizzes and exams. Medication quizzes are open book and taken on line. Three exams and a cumulative final exam will consist of NCLEX-style questions which test students’ abilities to apply theory to case situations. Class time will be given for the exams.

Clinical Portion of the course
The lab/clinical grade will further be divided into assignments and clinical performance. Assignments will include two complete nursing care plans, two process recordings, an ethics presentation, and a vulnerable population presentation. 60% of the clinical grade will be based on these four assignments. The clinical performance portion of the clinical grade is calculated using the clinical performance tool. 40% of the clinical grade will be calculated using the clinical performance tool. Penalties for late assignments will be assessed at 5% per day. University, CON, and Course Policies
A. Attendance
1. Nursing is a professional program and attendance is an expectation ATTENDANCE AT CLINICAL ORIENTATION IS REQUIRED. If you are unable to attend related to an emergency or serious illness, notification of the clinical instructor must be made prior to the clinical experience time. Failure to assume responsibility and accountability for clinical attendance will result in the student being be individually counseled and reported to the Course Chair and Office of Student Affairs. Excessive absence and/or tardiness, or a perceived pattern of absences or tardiness may result in a 0.0 being awarded for the course. If a message is left on voice mail or an answering machine, it is the students’ responsibility to follow up the recorded message with a personal conversation within 48 hours.
2. Attendance for clinical is required. Make-up clinical hours will be negotiated with the
clinical faculty.
B. Examinations
Examinations will be given during course periods. Students arriving late will have the scheduled time for completion of the exam. All students are expected to take examinations on the date scheduled, unless prior arrangements are made with the course faculty. For emergency situations, students are to contact faculty as soon as possible. If unable to contact faculty, call College of Nursing office and leave a message regarding the reason for absence. It is the student’s responsibility to reach faculty as soon as possible following the examination to make arrangements to take an alternate examination. There will be one opportunity for an alternative exam. Alternate exams may use with additional formats (essay, fill in the blank, etc.). Make-up exams are routinely scheduled within one week of the original exam date. Health providers’ statements may be required. Questions regarding examination grades will be put forward within two weeks of the exam date. Alterations will not be made after this time.

C. Communication
E-Mail & Student Mailboxes:
All students are expected to check their e-mail and student mailboxes (in the Student Lounge) to retrieve course information. Student paperwork will be returned on a timely basis and placed in the mailboxes or handed back in lecture or clinical setting. E-mail is for the sole purpose of conveying constructive, positive course and nursing information ONLY and is a privilege. Any student utilizing this service to convey personal opinion, pass on chain letters, advertising or unauthorized statements will be reported to the Director of the Office of Student Affairs and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and dealt with on an individual basis. Inappropriate use may result in the individual being removed from the class list, and any other actions determined necessary by the Course Chairperson and College of Nursing administrators.
Student Faculty Relationship
It is expected that a professional, courteous, positive demeanor will be exhibited to peers, faculty and College of Nursing staff with each encounter. It is expected that you will be on time to theory and clinical. If for some reason you have to be late or leave early, the course coordinator or your clinical instructor should be notified and plans will be made so you will not disturb the entire class. Talking, reading the newspaper, surfing the net and sleeping are considered disrespectful during lecture. Cell phones are to be turned off during class and clinical time. Asking questions and requesting clarification of information is highly encouraged as student input is valued and worthwhile. Timeliness, honesty and integrity, a positive attitude, assertive communication skills and motivation are some of the personal skills that one should be developing, or refining, during nursing school. These positive skills will be utilized in your three years at the College of Nursing and in your chosen profession.

Guidelines for Clinical Performance and Clinical Assignments
Fifty percent (50%) of the grade in NUR 370 is based on clinical performance and clinical assignments. The other fifty percent (50%) is based on scores achieved in the theory portion of the course. The clinical performance portion is worth forty percent (40%) of the clinical grade. It will be calculated using the clinical performance rating form. Clinical instructors will meet with students at midterm to discuss the students’ performance and then at the end of the term to give students their clinical grades. Students may bring to both sessions their own self evaluation using the clinical performance behavior worksheets and the clinical performance rating form for purposes of discussion. Bolded and starred items on the worksheets indicate items which are most likely to be demonstrated in the psych/mental health setting.

Clinical AssignmentsClinical assignments will include two complete nursing care plans, two process recordings, an ethics presentation, and a vulnerable population assignment. Sixty (60%) of the clinical grade will be based on these four assignments. Clinical assignments are described below. A. Nursing Care Plans (40%) (2) (pp. 19-29) Each day in the clinical setting, students will use the psychiatric nursing care plan template to organize information they learn about their assigned patient and apply the nursing process. Students will turn in portions of the nursing care plan each clinical day to the clinical instructor for review and critique. It is not expected that all parts of the care plan are completed each clinical day. Students will choose a few sections each day to gain competency in those areas. By the end of the semester, students will turn in two complete nursing care plans which will be graded using the clinical synthesis rubric. B. Process Recordings (30%) (2) (pp. 31-34)
A process recording is a systematic method of collecting, interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing data collected during a nurse-client interaction. The major purpose of doing a process recording is to critically analyze communication and its effects on behavior to modify subsequent behavior, resulting in improved quality of therapeutic communication and psychiatric nursing care. Each process recording is comprised of five (5) components. Students should prepare process recordings using as a guideline the copy of the form that is provided. By the end of the semester, students will turn in two complete process recordings which will be graded using the process recording rubric.
C. Ethics Detective Assignment and Oral Presentation (10%) (1) (p. 36) Students will accurately identify and characterize an ethical problem arising in the care of clients in the psychiatric nursing setting. Students will prepare and deliver an oral presentation to their classmates during clinical time. The assignment will be graded using the ethics presentation rubric. D. Vulnerable Population Assignment and Oral Presentation (20%) (p. 38) Students will identify a member of a vulnerable population group in their clinical settings. They will identify socio-demographic characteristics that influence that client’s health problem, including possible health disparities known to affect their population group. Students will then develop nursing strategies that address those issues; interventions may be at the individual, family or community level. They will make an oral presentation to their classmates during clinical time that includes a concept map with nursing diagnosis, all relevant facts and proposed intervention strategies. The assignment will be graded using the health promotion presentation rubric.

B. Process Recordings
A process recording is a systematic method of collecting, interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing data collected during a nurse-client interaction. The major purpose of doing a process recording is to critically analyze communication and its effects on behavior to modify subsequent behavior, resulting in improved quality of therapeutic communication and psychiatric nursing care. Each process recording is comprised of five (5) components (described in detail below). Students should prepare process recordings using as a guideline the copy of the form that is provided below. Process recordings should be prepared on the Process Recording Form which follows.
1. Objectives for Interaction with Client. Prior to meeting with a client for whom you will do a process recording, you should have in mind one to three specific objectives for the meeting. You will record your specific objectives at the beginning of your process recording to turn in to your clinical instructor. An objective should indicate a specific, readily measurable change in the client's behavior and function as a guide for your interaction with the client.
2. Context of the Interaction. Describe where the interaction took place, activities involving the client that occurred before the interaction, the client's physical appearance, and how the interaction began; i.e. Did the client approach you, or did you initiate the interaction? Also record any other information which you think could have influenced your interaction with the client; i.e. unusual room temperature, interruptions, noise level, and so forth.
3. Verbatim Nurse-Client Interaction. Record a verbatim account of what was said on the part of the nurse and the client, but also nonverbal cues for both the client and the nurse; such as, tone of voice, rate of speech, body posture, quality of eye contact, and changes in facial expressions. Each time the nurse and client communicate once with each other is referred to as “an exchange." Periods of silence are also important to record. Following the record of the conversation should be a brief description of events involving the client that transpired immediately after the interaction. For example, did the client return to his/her previous activity or perhaps choose to isolate him/herself by going outside or to another room?
4. Interpretation of the Interaction and Your Reactions to the Interaction. Use this column to record your thoughts and reactions to the interaction. The emphasis in this part of the process recording is on analyzing that which is not explicit, understanding the probable meaning of the data as recorded in the previous column, and recognizing relevant nursing actions. For example, an analysis might focus on identifying a client's apparent underlying anger, speculating as to the possible causes of the anger, and clarifying why you reacted the way you did, or what prompted you to say or do a particular thing during the interaction. The process of interpretation may well begin during the interaction itself; however, an in-depth interpretation of what occurred during the interaction should take place after the interaction with the client. Your interpretation should reflect knowledge of theoretical concepts and psychiatric nursing care principles for work with clients. Include references here.
5. Nursing Care, Rationale, and Modifications. In the final column you should apply relevant theoretical nursing concepts and psychiatric nursing care principles to stating rationale for why you did what you did in the interaction at each exchange. Alternatively, if there is something that you would have done differently within a given exchange, you should state rationale for why the alternative action would have been better. Rationale stated for each intervention should be drawn from the literature as opposed to documenting your opinion only. Again, cite references. Specific examples of what you could have said or done differently should be included for each exchange. For example, you might explain how anger can adversely affect a client if not dealt with in an
Page 32 of 41
appropriate fashion by the client as a rationale for reflecting to the client that he/she seems angry (rationale drawn from literature). Finally, you should include a brief summary to evaluate whether or not your initial objectives for the interaction were met. If your objectives were not met, provide a brief analysis of why. Note that this section of the process recording provides you the opportunity to think about how you would rework/modify a conversation when you can devote undivided time to think over what transpired in the interaction with the client; i.e. You have the chance to "do the conversation twice" (once as it occurred, and again as you think it should have occurred).
Process recordings are a learning tool. They are not supposed to be perfect; they are supposed to be critical. They are evaluated according to whether the interaction was analyzed critically, corrections were suggested with appropriate rationale, and references were used appropriately.
Note: Unless negotiated differently with an individual clinical instructor, all process recordings should be typed.

C. Ethics Detective Assignment and Oral Presentation Using the ethical decision making model learned in NUR 340--RCFDE, students will identify and characterize an ethical problem while caring for a psychiatric patient and family. In NUR 370, students will complete steps one and two, identifying and characterizing the ethical dilemma and present it to classmates during post-clinical conference. In NUR 380, students will complete all seven steps and prepare a scholarly paper with seven professional references using APA format. STEPS in ethical decision making, RCFDE:
1. Recognizing ethical problems 2. Characterizing ethical problems 3. Finding and understanding relevant literature 4. Developing critically reasoned positions 5. Engaging in constructive ethical discussion
In their oral presentations, students will explain the reasons the dilemma they choose is an ethical problem. They will explain how the ethical problem has the following: 1) There are alternatives 2) There are initially plausible reasons for each alternative (supported by evidence or argument) They will then explain what the moral considerations at stake are, and what alternative courses of action they support:
a) Consider the consequences (what are the facts) b) Consider rights, duties and obligations of all of the parties involved (nurse, patient, family, court,
hospital, doctor, etc.) c) Consider questions of fairness (including allocation of resources) d) Consider the process of decision-making (who should be involved) e) Consider the effects of the choices on character (how are the virtues, ideals of a good nurse at
stake)

D. Vulnerable Population Assignment For this assignment, students are expected to identify barriers and resources that affect client outcomes and the delivery of mental health care. Students will choose one of their patients in the psychiatric clinical site who is a member of a vulnerable population group and then complete the following steps:
a. Develop a concept map for that client that starts with the Axis I medical diagnosis. b. Identify factors that put members of the identified vulnerable population more at risk, including
barriers to access to the health care system and health disparities known to affect this vulnerable population group’s members, and develop at least four nursing diagnoses based on these risk factors. With arrows, show the relationship between the nursing diagnoses.
c. Develop appropriate intervention strategies that address the issues; strategies can include interventions at the individual, family, or community level.
d. Describe desired outcomes. e. Make a presentation to the clinical group which includes a handout with the concept map, all relevant
facts, intervention strategies and references. Examples of Risk Factors Substance Abuse Violence Environmental factors (lack of transportation) Obesity Developmental disability Cognitive impairment Lifestyle (high stress job) Biological factors (genetics) Homeless Uninsured Unemployed
