Student Evaluation
Student Course Grade
Students must be concurrently enrolled in ADN 35B and ADN 35BL. When the student achieves a satisfactory clinical performance evaluation in ADN 35BL, the percentage of the theory grade in ADN 35B will also be the course grade for ADN 35BL. If the student's clinical performance is less than satisfactory, the grading policy in the Student Handbook will be followed.

Independently review and practice with a volume control device and IV pump (this will be demonstrated in class). A. Only 2 hours of IV fluid may be in the volume control device at any time. B. Correct common problems such as: too much fluid in the volume control device, too much fluid
in the drip chamber, troubleshooting alarms on the IV pump.

C. Utilize the 6 rights of medication administration.
Identify the technique and guidelines for performing a saline flush on a peripheral IV utilizing 1.5cc of saline.
GUIDELINES: PEDIATRIC IV FLUID AND MEDICATION ADMINNISTRATION
ALL IV medications must be given under the direct supervision of the instructor or co-assigned RN.
Some IV medications come in a powder that must be diluted prior to administration. When diluting powder medications agitate the vial until all of the powder is completely dissolved.
ALL IV medications will require several math calculations, therefore it is recommended that these be completed at home prior to coming to clinical whenever possible. If you require assistance with calculations please see your instructor early.
When diluting a medication in the volume control device keep in mind that you may dilute it in more fluid (taking care to not fluid overload the patient) but you may not dilute it in less than the maximum concentration given on the guidelines.
Some medications can be given IV push by the RN to decrease the total amount of fluid that the child is receiving.
If the child has any solution other than dextrose, saline or potassium running you must check ahead of time if it is compatible with the medication that you will administer.
All volume control devices should be labeled with the name of the medication that is running and labeled "flush" after the medication.
In pediatrics TKO rate for peripheral lines is 5cc/hr for infants and 10cc/hr for older children.
The procedure for IV medication administration via volume control device is as follows: A. Follow the 6 rights of medication administration. B. Prepare the ordered medication and the required math. C. Place the medication in the recommended amount of solution in the volume control device. D. Label the volume control device with the name of the medication. E. Set the IV pump to the calculated rate. F. When the medication infusion is complete drop the 20cc flush and leave the IV rate as set. G. When the flush is complete return the IV to the ordered maintenance rate or saline lock the IV.
STUDY GUIDE: PEDIATRIC IV MED-FLUSH FORMULA
Amount med. diluted in volume control device/B port (from protocol) + Flush (always 20 in peds) divide by Time (from protocol) Multiple by Drip factor (always 60 on a pump) = Delivery rate of med and flush
The Pediatric/Neonatal Medication Administration Manual (found in EPIC) specifies the dilution and time for each medication. Judgment will guide according to patient age, patient size, medication, location of the IV and IV needle/catheter size. Example 1: Ampicillen guideline states in 15cc over 20 minutes. 15 + 20 X 60 20 = 105 cc/hour for the rate Example 2: Gentamycin guideline states 1mg/cc over 30 minutes (the MD order is for 30mg, 30 X 1=30cc) 30 + 20 X 60 30 =100 cc/hour for the rate

Introduction:
The student is expected to satisfactorily participate as a member of the clinical team; to complete all assigned course outcomes while safely, effectively, and consistently using acceptable principles of
client care.
Directions:
Both the student and instructor will evaluate each student's performance. The student evaluates self in the indicated column. If the instructor agrees, no additional mark will be made. If the
instructor's evaluation differs with that of the student, the instructor will circle the student's mark and initial. The instructor will then mark the column indicating the evaluation of the student.
Criteria:
--Overall Satisfactory Rating
At the end of the course, each student is expected to receive a satisfactory rating on 75% or more of the clinical days to receive a passing grade.
--Overall Clinical Marginal Rating
An overall clinical marginal rating may be based on one overriding area of safety or on a group of behaviors that have been identified as "Marginal" (Must Improve) in 50% to 74% of the behavioral
objectives for the course.
--Unsatisfactory Clinical Rating
An unsatisfactory clinical rating will be given for clinical practice whenever the student receives a second Overall Clinical Marginal Evaluation, or whenever the student demonstrates unsafe clinical
practice, i.e., patient safety or welfare is compromised, or meets less than 50% of the behavioral objectives for the course. See Student Handbook for explanation of process and options.
Criteria Definition:
-A check in the S (Satisfactory) column indicates that 75% or more of the time, the student demonstrated appropriate behavior, knowledge, and skills consistent with the current level of student
experience.
-A check in the M (Marginal) column indicates that 50% to 74% of the time, student behavior does not meet the expected objective(s). Documented comments should clarify the problem area(s).
-A check in the U (Unsatisfactory) column indicates that the student met their objectives less than 50% of the time, and that behavior is below the acceptable level of performance. A behavior
compromising the safety of the client will result in an Unsatisfactory evaluation. Unsatisfactory areas will be documented in the appropriate section(s) on the evaluation.
-A check in the N (Not Applicable, or not observed) column indicates that the behavior was not evaluated.

MEASURING ACADEMIC NUMERACY: BEYOND COMPETENCE TESTING University of Southern Queensland Academic numeracy consists of three critical elements: competence, confidence, and critical awareness of students' own mathematical knowledge and the mathematics used in students' future professions. This definition is used to frame pre-test assessment in a first year nursing program. Competence and confidence were measured using a paper and pencil test. Critical awareness was measured via students' reflections on their own performance, their relationship to mathematics, and their understanding of how mathematics relates to nursing. Results show issues related to professional numeracy practices including relatively low understanding of the connection between mathematics and nursing.
