skin thins and becomes less elastic and more fragile, and fatty tissue just below the
skin decreases. Bruises happen to be more. Decreased production of natural oils might
make your skin drier. Wrinkles, age spots and small growths called skin tags are more
common.
Today, nurses are required to have knowledge and awareness

concerning professional values as standards to provide safe and high-quality ethical
care. Nurses' perspective on professional values affects decision-making and
patient care

Strokes are caused by the following: Large artery thrombosis. Large artery
thromboses are caused by atherosclerotic plaques in the large blood vessels of
the brain. Small penetrating artery thrombosis. Small penetrating artery
thrombosis affects one or more vessels and is the most common type of ischemic
stroke. Cardiogenic emboli are associated with cardiac dysrhythmias, usually atrial
fibrillation.
Code blue is the term used by most medical institutions to indicate that a patient is
having cardiopulmonary arrest and needs immediate resuscitation. The resuscitation is
done by the “code team” of the hospital but initial resuscitation efforts should be done
by the nearest nurses on duty.
Strengths
Had the chance to join a code blue teaching session and finished my ncp
Weaknesses:
Medical abbreviations
Student helped for basic care of patient. Needs more practical experience to perform

of competency of relevant skill/ behaviors within the 3 domains of the Health Authority for Abu Dhabi
(HAAD) Competency Standards for the Registered Nurse. However, within the competencies, the
words Registered Nurses have been replaced by the term student nurse to make it consistent
with the students’ status.
This tool has been developed by Griffith University Australia who adapted the work of Bondy, K. (1983)
Criterion-referenced definitions for rating scales in clinical evaluation . Journal of Nurse Education. 22
(9), 376-82.
The Bondy scale was graded with a grades ranging from 1 – 5, the total grades is 225 and it will
be converted to 70%.
For any scoring of 1 or 2 a formative review should be completed and discussed with the
student with a clear plan of improvement.
To be able to pass the clinical course the student has to achieve an accumulative course grades of
60%.

GUIDELINES FOR THE CLINICAL ASSESSMENT TOOL (CAT)
The Clinical Assessment Tool (CAT) is designed to provide Clinical Facilitators with a systematic
process to assess clinical performance, in consultation with students. Over time this assists students to
develop knowledge, skills and attributes beneficial to their role as Registered Nurses.
How to use the CAT

The clinical assessment tool contains:
 A front page of demographic and administration details;
 A Bondy Scale key to explain the description of the performance level;
 Marking sheets containing the 3 domains of nursing competency as per HAAD standards for
Registered Nurses. Within these domains are the main sub-domains which provide more detail;
 For each domain there are two Bondy Scale Chart. One should be completed by the student
and assessor for each domain;
 Example and comments boxes for completion by the student and assessor should be completed
to evidence each scale;
 A comments/reflection section for the student and assessor for each domain.
The front page must be completed for the student to have their clinical performance recorded. Please
take particular note of the number of days attended or missed because students must undertake 100%
of their clinical experience in order for FCHS to consider them eligible to pass courses and ultimately to
apply for registration. Please attach any additional document or evidence.
At the beginning of the clinical experience
When you meet individual students, it is a highly recommended to read the CAT together so that you
each share a common understanding. This also gives you both an opportunity to clarify your
expectations of each other. Students have the responsibility to be aware of the particular learning
outcomes and scope of practice for the relevant academic courses for this current clinical experience,
to attend regularly and on time, and to be respectful, appropriate role models for nursing and the
university. You have the responsibility to facilitate quality clinical learning opportunities for students, to
guide their skill development, to assist them to practice competently and finally to assess their skills.
During the clinical experience
Goal-setting sheets give the student the opportunity to identify skills and experiences that they deem
important to them. With reflection and support from the Clinical Facilitator/Preceptor the student may
39
identify areas and skills which need further development. This provides the student with a perspective
of their strengths and gives them the opportunity to improve their performance where required.
Halfway Feedback
Undertake an informal half-way assessment of student performance based on the 3 domains in the
CAT. Identify and justify areas in which you feel the student needs further practice and development.
This enables the student have some idea of your perspective of their strengths and areas for
improvement and may give them a chance to improve their performance. Ideally you should provide
comments and examples for each domain.
Formative Review
If a student seems unlikely to successfully achieve one or more of the domains, you are advised to
raise and outline concerns with the student as soon as possible. If concerns are not resolved it will be
necessary to place the student on a Formative Review. Seek support and assistance from the appropriate
Course Co-ordinator and/or the Clinical Coordinator during this process. As near as possible to the
completion of the clinical experience, it is essential that you provide a final assessment of the student.
Every domain must be assessed and documented. If a student receives a failing mark for any domain,
following effective performance management (via the Formative Review), in consultation with the
Course Co-ordinator and/or the Clinical Co-ordinator, they will fail the clinical experience. Should you
wish for this not to be the case, it is essential that you complete supporting notes and file them. The
final mark will be recorded in the student’s file where it is added to other assessment items before an
overall course grade is awarded.
Anecdotal Notes
If a student is failing, an incident has occurred, or the student has performed exceptionally in specific
areas this should be recorded in the form of Anecdotal Notes.
At the completion of the clinical experience
A final assessment is discussed and given to the student close to the completion of the clinical
experience. Every domain must be assessed as ‘Assisted’ or higher to obtain a final grade of ‘Non-
Graded Pass’. If a student falls within the ‘Dependent or Marginal’ range for any domain, following
effective performance management via the Formative Review AND in consultation with the Course
Convenor, they will receive a ‘Fail’ grade for the clinical placement. If you are unsure of the appropriate
grade, please record ‘Result Withheld’ and discuss this with the Course Convenor. Students who are
absent from placement for any reason also require ‘Result Withheld’. Students must obtain a Medical
Certificate or a correctly completed FCHS Statutory Declaration. A copy of either document must be
attached to the CAT. The student’s final grade will be determined when the CAT is reviewed by the
Course Convenor. This is then combined with other assessment items before an overall course grade
is awarded.

Appendices
 Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Instructions for administering the Mini-Mental State

Examination (MMSE)
ORIENTATION: 1. Ask the patient for the current year, season, date, day and time. If
the patient has omitted part of the answer, ask for this part specifically, e.g., “Can you
also tell me what season it is?” Score 1 point for each correct answer. 2. Ask the patient
what country, province, city/town, and hospital/clinic you are in, and which floor you are
on. Again, if the patient has omitted part of the answer, ask for this part specifically, e.g.,
“Can you also tell me what province we are in?” Score 1 point for each correct answer.
REGISTRATION: Ask the patient if you may test his/her memory. Say the name of the 3
unrelated objects, clearly and smoothly, taking about 1 second to pronounce each word.
After you have said all 3, ask the patient to repeat them all. This first repetition
determines the patient’s score. Score 1 point for each object remembered.
Once the score has been recorded, repeat the process (to a maximum of 6 times) until
the patient can repeat all 3 objects. Record how many trials it took for the patient to
remember all 3 objects. If all 3 objects are not eventually learned, recall cannot be
meaningfully tested.
ATTENTION AND CALCULATION: Ask the patient to spell the word “world”
backwards. Score 1 point per letter in correct order (e.g., DLROW=5; DLRW=4;
DLW=3; OW=2; LDRWO=1).
Alternately, ask the patient to subtract 7 from 100, then subtract a further 7 from that
result, and so on for 5 subtractions (93, 86, 79, 72, 65). Score 1 point per correct
subtraction.
RECALL: Ask the patient to recall the 3 objects learned in the “registration” section of
the test. Score 1 point for each object remembered.
LANGUAGE Naming: Show the patient a wristwatch and ask him/her what it is. Repeat
for a pencil. Score 1 point for each object named.
Repetition: Ask the patient to repeat the following sentence after you: “No ifs, ands or
buts”. Score 1
Point for correct performance.
3 stage command: Give the patient a piece of plain blank paper. Tell the patient to take
the paper in his/her right hand, fold it in half, and put it on the floor. Score 1 point for
each section of the command performed.
72
Reading: On the back of the MMSE page, print the sentence “Close your eyes” in
letters large enough for the patient to see clearly. Ask him/her to read it and do what
it says. Score 1 point only if the patient actually closes his/her eyes.
Writing: On the back of the MMSE page, ask the patient to write a sentence for you.
Do not dictate a sentence; it is to be written spontaneously by the patient. It must
contain a subject and verb and be sensible. Correct grammar and punctuation are not
necessary. Score 1 point only for a correct sentence.
Copying: On the back of the MMSE page, draw intersecting pentagons, each side
about 1 inch long. Ask the patient to copy the diagram exactly as it is. All 10 angles
must be present and 2 angles must intersect for the patient to score 1 point. Tremor
and rotation are ignored.

2. The Mini CogTM
Administration:
1. Instruct the patient to listen carefully to and remember 3 unrelated words and then to
repeat the words. The same 3 words may be repeated to the patient up to 3 tries to
register all 3 words.
2. _Instruct the patient to draw the face of a clock, either on a blank sheet of paper or on
a sheet with the clock circle already drawn on the page. After the patient puts the
numbers on the clock face, ask him or her to draw the hands of the clock to read a
specific time. The time 11:10 has demonstrated increased sensitivity.
3. Ask the patient to repeat the 3 previously stated words.
Scoring: (Out of total of 5 points)

Give 1 point for each recalled word after the CDT distractor. Recall is scored 0-3.
The CDT distractor is scored 2 if normal and 0 if abnormal.
(Note: The CDT is considered normal if all numbers are present in the correct sequence
and position, and the hands readably display the requested time. Length of hands
is not considered in the score.)

COVID-19 GUIDELINE
The current Covid-19 Pandemic Emergency has created restriction of movement in MOHAP
hospitals and clinics, for both patients, their families, and staff. MOHAP are offering strategies
for the universities to consider to ensure optimum safety for MOHAP patients, MOHAP staff and
any third party stakeholders who wish to enter MOHAP facilities. It is MOHAP’s priority to
ensure the safety of the community and restrictions have been put in place to ensure safety for
all is maintained. This has required that movement between clinical areas is minimized.
Guidelines
1. Clinical capacity for student clinical placement in MOHAP hospitals and clinics will be modified
for student’s safety based on the Covid-19 Pandemic Emergency status. MOHAP will continue to
provide regular updates on the clinical status of hospitals and clinics.
2. MOHAP will accommodate 3rd and 4th year student nurses, following an agreement form the
universities to place them in hospitals caring for both Covid-19 and non-Covid patients.
3. The clinical tutors from each university will be responsible for overseeing all students being
placed in clinical areas. Where clinically possible and if safe to do so, MOHAP nursing staff will
support the nursing students and clinical tutors during the placement.
4. Student nurses in the 1st and 2nd year should be trained in clinical skills and procedures in the
university’s skills laboratory (simulation labs) until further notice from MOHAP and for the duration
of the Pandemic Emergency continues.
5. Clinical Placements will be temporarily postponed for the nurses doing the BSN Bridging program
until further notice. These nurses are already assigned to clinical areas and MOHAP is restricting
movement of staff to different areas and MOHAP wants to reduce the number of times staff are
brought back to the clinical areas to minimize risk. Thus, it is suggested that
curricula developers start to review the length and clinical rotations of the Bridging Program in line
with the accreditation guidelines, to facilitate more flexibility to these programs.
6. Clinical Placements for Master’s Program students will be temporarily postponed until further
notice and regular updates will be provided by MOHAP.
7. Clinical tutors and nursing students must wear the MOHAP recommended PPE at all times in the
clinical areas.
8. Clinical tutors and nursing students must adhere to MOHAP infection prevention policies and
guidelines at all times.
9. In clinical areas such as PHC, all patients entering will be managed as suspected Covid-19 cases
and be managed using the recommended PPE at all times.
10. Covid-19 test will be carried out on clinical tutors and nurse students which must be negative
before the clinical tutor or nursing student is permitted to join the clinical area.
11. Nurse students will work between 4-6 hours with no break to avoid crowding in hospitals and
clinical areas. There are 2 shifts in MOHAP hospital and some clinics.
80
 There will be an option for each student to work shorter hours, e.g. 4 hours, this will
enable 2 students to share an 8-hour shift, this will be up to the individual universities to
decide. Otherwise they can work an 8-hour shift with 1 break.
 Each university can choose to rotate students every 2 -4 weeks throughout the semester to
ensure that all students in the 3 rd and 4th year have the opportunity to collect clinical hours.
 Universities can offer students to work shifts over the weekend to increase capacity and
number of students on placement over seven days.
 The above three suggestions are proposals to guide the universities to assist with
increasing the number of students that can be accommodated.
12. Nursing students’ rotation between departments should be well controlled and organized prior to
shifting (no movements from Covid-19 area to non-COVID area).
13. Gathering in groups is not permitted either in the clinical area reception areas or in the corridors
or cafeteria/break rooms and social distancing must be maintained at all times. It is the responsibility
of the clinical tutor to ensure all the nursing students do not gather in groups or crowds and ensure
social distancing in any area of the hospital or clinic. The clinical tutors are responsible to ensure any
contact with the students during the clinical placement is conducted virtually where possible to avoid
gathering groups of students in one place.
14. It is the responsibility of the university to provide training and education for both nursing
students and clinical tutors before they commence the clinical placement, on;
 Covid-19
 Caring for patients in isolation
 PPE Doffing and Donning
 Infection Prevention guidelines and practices
 Overview of disaster and pandemic emergency preparedness and expectations of clinical
staff during clinical emergencies.
15. Once the students are in the clinical areas the MOHAP staff along with the clinical tutors will
check that practice is in line with MOHAP standards and policies
