Background: Describe a nursing situation you encountered this week. Today we attended clinical for second time. Our main focus was patient with COPD or any gas exchange difficulty.

If I ever have this kind of situation again, first thing I would differently get prepared before the clinical, I would carefully review that task we would have to do on clinical day. Second, I spent less time with my patient because they also need to get rest. Third, I would make sure that my patient 's history record has every section, for example, my patient was missing her physician order that I had to ask one of the nurses for a new copy. What additional knowledge, information, or skills will you need next
