  Spoke to Deborah on10/4 regarding her assessment skills. She agreed to try to improve and come to me if she had a difficult time understanding  what is expected of her in this area.. On 10/5 Deborah had a client who had a primary IV running via a pump, when asked if her client had an IV she responded by saying no. I went in with her to asssess her client and the IV was hanging on the right side of the bed on an IV pole and infusing via a pump into an IIV site inserted in the clients right forearm. When asked how could she do an assessment and not see the IV infusing she said she was on the other side of the bed and didn\'t see it. I told her this was not acceptable.
Today in clinical 10/12 I spoke to Deborah again explaining that her assessment skills must improve or this could lead to an unsatisfactory on her mid- rotation evaluation. Deborah agreed to improve her assessment skills and to come to me if she  needs any extra help.
