INTRODUCTION:-
The nursing clinic or patient presentation utilizes the presence of a selected patient as its focus
for group discussion. It affords a direct experience in the discussion of principles and practices of
nursing care relative to a given patient. The purpose is the improvement of nursing care. Students
have the opportunity to sharpen their observation and interviewing skills while simultaneously
developing increased ability to see relationships between the patient's concept of his health and
nursing problems and his resources for coping with the total problem and the nurse's concept of
the patient's problem and how it might be solved.
PREPARATION PHASE
This phase involves:-
• Determining the purpose of the clinic
• Selecting patients for the clinic and determining when they are going to be visited. Patient
chosen for the clinic should have typical rather than unusual conditions. The dramatic and typical
condition may leave the student with erroneous impression
• Getting the consent from the patients
• Selecting the setting for conducting the clinic (Patient's bedside or conference room)
• Instructing the students what they have to observe and the contexts in which they have to be
well prepared
• Collecting all relevant, and necessary, patient related data well ahead.
CONDUCTION PHASE
Patient centered discussion: During this phase, the data collected should be analyzed, needs
and problems of the patient has to be identified and a successful line of nursing management has
to be outlined using the problem-solving approach. Patients has to be given opportunity to
verbalize their concerns and how they meet a particular problem situation. If the patient is
unresponsive or tired, the clinic should be better stopped.
Post-clinical discussion: During the post-clinic session,students have to discuss the various
strategies in which the particular patient can be successfully dealt with, have to identify problem-
solving techniques suitable for the patient, and design intervention strategies for him.
CONCLUSION PHASE
The students and the supervisor conjointly come to a conclusion about the management of the
patient and prepare a summary of the clinic. The group work together, and take solutions using
the problem-solving approach and the responsibility to act on the problem is delegated to one or
more of the students.
KEY FEATURES:-
An informal discussion about a patient related problem.
The nursing clinic is a group discussion which utilizes the presence of a selected patient,
whereby the nursing aspects are presented and discussed.
In a nursing clinic the patient's medical history and therapy are discussed only briefly, but the
emphasis is on the nursing problems, including the physical, mental and social aspects.
CONCLUSION:-
Clinics are valuable as a teaching and learning device because instruction is carried on in direct
relation to the patient. It develops the powers of observation and stimulates thought and
consideration of the nursing care of the patients. All the students apply their knowledge, skills,
attitudes and appreciation to the subject of the clinic. Clinics also help to meet situations
presented by the patient.
