Our Response: Post-operative Patient Care
Which outcome competencies are problems in this incident?
- 1st competency: critical thinking is missing
- 6th competency: Student Marcie is not effectively communicating with Preceptor Mark and other team members
What do you think of the Preceptor Mark's actions?
- Good interaction; trying to prompt the student for increased critical thinking.
What do you think of the Student Marcie's response?
- We need to know more about what is happening with the student to have caused the response. We need to know what hours she is working on her job. Preceptors and faculty can expect her to know what to do—especially if it is toward the end of the clinical course. Student Marcie may need guidance in what are appropriate expectations at her level of knowledge for her length of time in the course.
