Scenario

The scenario presented here is the second installment of the unfolding case study which began in Unit 2 with a meeting between the Dean, Sheila, Nursing Student Kim, and Nursing Clinical Instructor, Andre.

Currently the three participants are in a meeting where Kim has voiced concerns regarding a clinical failure based on faculty weaknesses related lack of recognition of cultural practices and indifference to student learning during the clinical experience. After Kim’s concerns are presented the Dean states, “Kim, thank you for meeting with us today, I will be in touch with you before your clinical experience next week after Andre and I meet privately. Thank you again for your time. We want you to be successful.”

After Kim leaves the Dean begins the conversation with Andre stating, “Okay, now I would like to hear your side of the story.”

1. Do you agree with the way in which the Dean has handled the process so far from a student perspective? Provide rationales with your answer including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.
2. Do you agree with the way in which the Dean has handled the process so far from a faculty perspective? Provide rationales with your answer including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.Andrea responds to the Dean with a blank stare and states, “I have no idea why this student has a problem. We have to talk with patients face to face and I can’t help if he is of Asian descent. Also, I have only been late a few times when my child was sick and I had to make arrangements so I could attend clinical. I am feeling like I am being called out for a student’s incompetence.”At this point the Dean states, “Andre why don’t we back up just a minute and you can help me understand how you prepare for clinical. For example, can you discuss examples of teaching and learning strategies you used to help students meet last week’s clinical outcomes?”Clinical Outcomes
   • Outcome 1 - Explain the five rights of administration for medications used in the postpartum period.
   • Outcome 2 - Practice writing a detailed, objective, and efficient nursing note.
   • Outcome 3 - Demonstrate an assessment of a postpartum woman.
3. Develop a teaching and learning strategy for the first outcome with at least one cognitive objective, one psychomotor objective, and one affective objective included. Provide rationales with your selections including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.
4. Develop a teaching and learning strategy for the second outcome including at least with at least one cognitive objective, one psychomotor objective, and one affective objective. Provide rationales with your selections including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.
5. Develop a teaching and learning strategy for the third outcome with at least one cognitive objective, one psychomotor objective, and one affective objective.Provide rationales with your selections including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.After thinking for a few moments Andre responded to the Dean stating, “I have the students give me report when I come onto the clinical floor. After we discuss the patient assignment, I check in with staff nurses regarding concerns with students’ behaviors and actions. Throughout the day I am present for all medication administration and documentation.”The Dean responded, “Andre did you attend the required training for new clinical faculty we provided at the hospital where you work?”Andre stated, “No that was my day off and I was busy with my kids but my course leader, Edith, said it would be okay and I could plan on having a clinical group in the fall.”
6. Describe two strategies the Dean should suggest to help Andre. Provide rationales with your selections including at least one scholarly peer-reviewed resource as support for your choices.
7. Would you allow Andre to return to teaching his clinical group the next week?Provide a rationale to support your answer.
8. What is your recommended response the Dean should prepare for the student, Kim? Provide rationales with your choices.
9. Should the Dean involve the senior faculty, Edith, in the discussion at this point?
   • If you answer no then explain why and provide an alternative solution.
   • If you answer yes explain why and explain how you would involve Edith is this process.
