The statements made by the nursing student that indicate the need for further teaching are:
1. **“I cannot be held liable because this is only my second time at this facility.”** - This statement reflects a misunderstanding of liability and accountability in nursing practice. The student can be held liable for their actions regardless of their experience level.
2. **“I am glad I am a student because nursing faculty will be blamed, not me.”** - This statement shows a lack of understanding of personal accountability in nursing. Students are responsible for their own actions, and attempting to shift blame onto faculty is inappropriate.
3. **“I have also put the nursing faculty at risk with my action.”** - While it is important to acknowledge the ripple effects of one’s actions, the primary focus should be on the student’s accountability. This statement diverts responsibility rather than accepting it.
The other statements do not require further teaching:
4. **“I should have informed you that I felt unprepared for my assignment.”** - This indicates an awareness of the importance of communication regarding preparedness, which is an essential aspect of nursing practice.
5. **“I realize that I am held to the same standards as a registered nurse.”** - This statement reflects an understanding of the student's responsibilities and the standards expected in nursing practice.
So, the statements indicating a need for further teaching are:
- “I cannot be held liable because this is only my second time at this facility.”
- “I am glad I am a student because nursing faculty will be blamed, not me.”
- “I have also put the nursing faculty at risk with my action.”
