Today (1-23-12) in the clinical area Antoneil was not well prepared to care for his patient.  When I questioned Antoneil if his patient needed a bedside blood glucose ordered, he stated I think so.  I told him this was not acceptable.  He needs to know his patient\'s orders and if the patient has a bedside blood glucose, is he on coverage, if so, when does he require insulin administration.  He stated he was not aware of this information, because he did not check his chart for the information.  This has been stressed to all students in the clinical group since orientation.  
Antoneil then went out and checked all the information that was necessary.  He completed the bedside glucose and noted their was no coverage ordered.
Antoneil always displays professional behavior.  His patient\'s also support this.  They state he is polite and respectful.  
Unfortunately, Antoneil needs to be motivated.  I explained to Antoneil that he needs to prepare himself better and realize that he is responsible to fulfill his patient\'s orders and needs.   Mrs. Miller
