1 Standardized Simulation NR325 End of Life Care/Amira Quintona Chamberlain College of Nursing: Nursing Students We want to thank you in advance for your active participation in this standardized simulation. Our purpose is to immerse you in a high quality clinical experience that will enhance critical thinking, decision-making, and prepare you as you move forward in the curriculum and transition into practice. The following material can be used in scenario preparation. You will find preparation documentation that includes course and student learning outcomes as well as general scenario information and resources. A brief patient history will be provided in addition to the most recent physician orders. Be prepared to document your assessment findings, administration of medication, and nursing notes. A medication administration record, laboratory results and patient education material will be provided for you during the simulated experience. One of the most important aspects of simulation is the assessment of performance and debriefing. Keep in mind that the purpose of participation is to enhance your learning and allow you to identify areas of needed remediation. There is no high-stakes testing. We are only asking that you engage in the learning experience and begin to use the feedback provided to enhance your practice. We want you to be able to self-reflect on your actions and interventions and remediate areas that you identify. An assessment matrix has been created that will be used to evaluate your assigned teams performance. The PREPARED Assessment Tool was developed to provide a comprehensive mechanism for evaluating expected behaviors that contribute to advanced critical thinking and decision-making. The tool is simple to use and will be shared by the faculty during the debriefing period. It facilitates a very organized and focused approach to reflecting on your performance. P = Problem Given the data presented and your assessment, what did you identify as the main problems associated with caring for the patient? R= Report Who do you need to report your findings to? What resources do you need to access? Was the report given in an organized manner? E = Execute P = Prioritize A = Anticipate What independent nursing interventions can you perform? What actions should be prioritized in caring for the patient? What can you anticipate and prepare for as you continue caring for the patient? R = Reasoning Do you understand the reasoning behind your decision-making and if not, why not? E = Evaluate D = Discuss What interventions or assessment findings do you need to continue re-evaluating as you care for the patient? Self-reflect on your performance and identify areas of needed remediation. The debriefing component of the simulation is organized in the same fashion. It will be very user-friendly and you, in conjunction with the faculty, will have a positive mechanism for self-reflection, discussing positive behavior and identifying areas of needed remediation. Thank you again for participating. We believe that these scenarios will provide a progressive medium for collaboration and enhanced learning. 1

You must be knowledgeable about the patient s condition and able to dictate orders obtained and assist with implementation if needed. Additionally, be prepared to prioritize care and anticipate future needs. Assessment Nurse The Assessment Nurse is responsible for overseeing a comprehensive assessment of the patient. This includes but is not limited to obtaining vital signs, head-to-toe assessment of all systems, and psych/social assessment of the patient. You will be prioritizing care, executing independent interventions, collaborating with interdisciplinary team members, anticipating the needs of the patient/family, and re-assessing or continually monitoring the patient for any changes in condition.

7 ADVANCE DIRECTIVE Part I: Power of Attorney for Health Care I, Amira Quintona, appoint Sam Houston, whose address is 1111 N South Street, Chicago, IL and whose telephone number is , as my attorney in fact for health care. I authorize my attorney in fact appointed by this document to make health care decisions for me when I am determined to be incapable of making my own health care decisions, including decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment and artificially administered nutrition and hydration. I have read the warning which accompanies this document and understand the consequences of executing a power of attorney for health care. When making health care decisions for me, my attorney in fact should think about what action would be consistent with past conversations we have had, my treatment preferences as expressed in this advance directive or other legal or nonlegal document, my religious and other beliefs and values, and how I have handled medical and other important issues in the past. If what I would decide is still unclear, then my health care attorney in fact should make decisions for me that my health care attorney in fact believes are in my best interest, considering the benefits, burdens, and risks of my current circumstances and treatment options. I direct that my attorney in fact comply with the following instructions on life-sustaining treatment: withdraw life support if it has been determined that continued treatment will not improve my condition I direct that my attorney in fact comply with the following on artificially administered nutrition and hydration: (optional) no artificial food or fluids to be given by any method other than by my own means I direct that my power of attorney comply with the following instructions or limitations: (optional) Ensure that comfort and pain relieving measures be given I HAVE READ THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT ALLOWS ANOTHER PERSON TO MAKE LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS FOR ME IF I AM INCAPABLE OF MAKING SUCH DECISIONS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN REVOKE THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE AT ANY TIME BY NOTIFYING MY POWER OF ATTORNEY, MY PHYSICIAN, OR THE FACILITY IN WHICH I AM A PATIENT OR RESIDENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN REQUIRE IN THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE THAT THE FACT OF MY INCAPACITY IN THE FUTURE BE CONFIRMED BY A SECOND PHYSICIAN. Part II: Declaration Relating to the Use of Life-Sustaining Treatment If I should lapse into a persistent vegetative state or have an incurable and irreversible condition that, without the administration of life-sustaining treatment, will, in the opinion of my attending physician, cause my death within a relatively short time and I am no longer able to make decisions regarding my medical treatment, I direct my attending physician, pursuant to the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act, to: _AQ_ 1. Keep me comfortable and allow natural death to occur. I do not want any life-sustaining treatment or other medical interventions used to try to extend my life. I do not want to receive nutrition and fluids by tube or other medical means. ((or)) 2. Keep me comfortable and allow natural death to occur. I do not want any life-sustaining treatment or other medical interventions used to try to extend my life. If I am unable to take enough nourishment by mouth, however, I want to receive nutrition and fluids by tube or other medical means. ((or)) 7

8 3. Try to extend my life for as long as possible, using all available life-sustaining treatment or other medical interventions that in reasonable medical judgment would prevent or delay my death. If I am unable to take enough nourishment by mouth, I want to receive nutrition and fluids by tube or other medical means. Any questions regarding how to interpret or apply my declaration shall be resolved by my attorney in fact appointed under a durable power of attorney for health care (Part I), if I have appointed one. _ Amira Quintona 2/11/13 Amira Quintona (signature) (date) (printed name) State of Nebraska, County of _Lancaster On this 11th day of February 2013, before me, Sandy Mays, a notary public in Lancaster County, personally known to be the identical person whose name is affixed to the above advance directive as principal of power of attorney for health care, if Part I is filled out, and/or as declarant of declaration relating to the use of life-sustaining treatment, if Part II is filled out, and I declare that he or she appears in sound mind and not under duress or undue influence, that he or she acknowledges the execution of the same to be his or her voluntary act and deed, and that I am not the attorney in fact or successor attorney in fact designated in Part I, if it has been completed.
