relationships in residential long-term care
settings.
Performed skills relevant to situating an
individual within his/her personal, familial and
community context
Developed and demonstrated skills in basic
assessment techniques relevant to the long-term
Progress
Evidence/Indicators: (The student has ...)
- Built empathetical relationship with various
residents, trying to understand their
perspectives. Tried different communication
methods learned in class for people with
dementia (ex. repeat the same sentence twice
and if the resident still doesn’t understand,
paraphrased; made sure the resident could
see my face by making sure the light was on
my face). It was especially hard to
communicate with a Down’s syndrome
resident, but tried to keep sentences simple
for better comprehension.
- helped put lotion on the resident’s back and
hands, which the resident was happy for.
- tried to used humour to enlighten resident’s
day.
- Aided with resident’s personal hygiene such
as combing hair and help with oral care (ex.
washing dentures before placing in their
mouth, helped with brushing teeth)
- had conversations regarding residents’ past
and spent time appreciating their
achievements. Showed understanding and
complimented their actions (ex. a resident
told me that she is still able to walk without
any aid and that she makes sure she
exercises; I complimented her and told her
that it is important to continue trying.)
- aided residents to the dining room.
- Attempted to do a full head-to-toe
assessment on my assigned resident. Took

changing and bathing
-assessed swallowing during feeding
Respected resident’s preferences (ex. did not
wake them up when they wanted a bit more
sleep; asking before I perform any type of
care; gave choices to which clothes resident
wished to wear), which demonstrated clientcentered care.
- before leaving the room, always asked what
else they would like me to do (ex. resident
asked to place the call bell near her reach;
asked to tell the nurse that he needs some
eye-drops for his pain)
Learned thoroughly how to perform AM and
PM routines.
- learned that residents do not remember
everything, so it is important to tell them
step-by-step of what activities you will be

puzzled / agitated
- learned that residents do appreciate the
work you are doing and do recognize your
beneficience.
Ensured that I was supervised when using

promote safety
- kept confidentiality by not mentioning the
resident’s names in paper work
Participated in professional development based
on reflective practice and clinical inquiry
-
Examined personal attitudes regarding the
elderly and other residents of long-term care
homes
-
Developed a basis knowledge of the clinical
manifestations and relevant nursing
interventions of chronic diseases
-
Whenever there was something I did not
understand or wanted more knowledge of, I
asked the RPN, PSW, and clinical instructor
(ex. if it was okay to put lotion on the
resident’s back without supervision)
- reflective journals were done to talk about
what I have learned and how I can improve
my practice
- ex.
My stereotypes of older adults has dimished
from practicing in the LTC homes and from
NURS 1002H course. I understand the
physical deterioration of elderly and the
normal and abnormal changes in the elderly.
- I learned that older adults need more time
to process and organize their thoughts. It is
not always due to absolute deterioration of
cognitive abilities.
I learned some clinical manifestations and
relevant nursing interventions of chronic
diseases by writing weekly clinical care card
and medical cards. I was able to observe an
infected skin on a resident on the heels.
- I was able to gather more knowledge about
dementia and how I need to communicate to
establish a therapeutic relationship with my
resident.
