On Wednesday 11-16-11, in the clinical setting Chris was assigned to one patient to pass meds. on and to care for her for the day.  The patient had about six 8AM meds and one med. for 12noon.  Chris stated that he thought that he would be board so I asked him if he would also like to do meds. on another students patient who had a very interesting diagnosis and he agreed.   Chris was responsible for the total care of his patient plus meds. and only meds for the other students patient.  About 10AM the CNA on the floor inquired about chris\'s patient.  She stated that she was not washed or any of her care given.  Chris was on break and two of his fellow students offered to do the AM care for the patient.  When he returned, I made him aware of the situation and I showed him how to irrigate a drain that his patient had in her left buttock.  At 1:30PM Chris was in his patient\'s room taking vital signs and I questioned him about why 12noon vitals were just being take.  He stated that he thought the CNA\'s on the floor were taking all of the vitals.  I informed him that he was responsible for all of the care on his patient for the entire time that he was on the unit.  He appeared to be very agitated.  I spoke to him about changing his attitude.  After I left the unit, I received a call from the nurse on the floor who stated that she did not receive a report from Chris before he left the floor and that he \"had an attitude\" toward the nurse and the CNA.  I spoke to Chris this AM about his behavior and that he should have known that he was to do the total care for his patient, not just meds.  I have stated to the students in the clinical group on several occasions that on the days that they pass meds. they will only have one patient to care for instead of two.  None of the other students had a problem with this assignment.  Chris took responsibility for his actions when I spoke to him and he was not at all disrespectful to me.
