WELCOME TO NUTR 46100!

Credit Hours: 10 credits Course Description: Clinical experience to include patient visitation, the nutrition care process and communication of care in the medical record. Clinical experience designed to ultimately include total staff responsibility. Course Learning Outcomes: Perform as a clinical nutritionist and complete the competencies as outlined in the Learning Outcomes for Supervised Practice Form. Course Evaluation: During the last two weeks of the semester, you will be provided an opportunity to evaluate this course and your instructor(s) through the standard online course evaluation offered by Purdue University. You will have two weeks to complete this evaluation. Your participation in this evaluation is an integral part of this course. Your feedback is vital to improving education at Purdue University. We strongly urge you to participate in the evaluation system. Rotation and Supervised Practice Site Evaluation: In the last two weeks of the Medical Nutrition Therapy rotation, you will receive a link to a Qualtrics survey specific to the CPD program. You will have two weeks to complete this evaluation. The survey will ask questions about the rotation, the supervised practice site, preceptor, program director, faculty supervisor, and graduate TA. The results of this evaluation will not be reviewed until after you complete the program and graduate. Therefore, if you have immediate concerns about your supervised practice experience, please make an appointment with the Program Director or Dietetics Program Manager to discuss.

Course Requirements:

1. Performance: Interns enrolled in this course are expected to complete the tasks assigned by their preceptor or course instructor in a professional manner, including punctuality and accuracy. Interns will receive individual performance evaluation(s) based on their performance at the supervised practice site from the preceptor(s) and course instructor. Competencies on the Learning Outcomes form must be performed at a satisfactory level or additional time may be needed to improve performance. See Section on Preceptor Complaints or Non-Compliance/Performance in CPD Handbook. Course assignments are graded by the instructors.

2. Completion of supervised practice hours: Interns are responsible for completing the scheduled number of hours at the supervised practice site based on the schedule assigned by the preceptor. Absences must be reported to both the assigned preceptor(s) and the Program Director or Dinah Dalder. Following the facility policy, the appropriate staff at the facility is to be notified before the time you were scheduled to be on duty. Be persistent in contacting the facility until you are able to talk to the appropriate staff rather than leaving a message on an answering machine. Should you become ill on the job, notify the preceptor(s) before leaving the building. All time missed must be made up in the facility. All arrangements for makeup time are subject to the preceptor’s approval. Complete the “Schedule Deviation Form” for all absences. See Absence Policy and Attendance Policy in CPD Handbook.

Important Note: Access to patient rooms, clinical units, nursing stations or any area of active patient care is not allowed outside of regularly scheduled supervised practice time. During project time, only access to the library or medical records department is allowed. Preceptors’ Expectations of the Interns:

1. Become a valued member of the health care team. 2. Review related class notes, inservice presentation notes, references, etc. to be prepared

everyday. 3. Interns are expected to do research on the conditions and diseases they will be dealing

with on their own time to prepare for the floor assignments throughout the MNT rotation, including working on evenings or over the weekends. This demonstrates initiative, prepares you for floor coverage and indicates an interest in the clinical experience.

4. Be on time and ready to prioritize the activities for the day. Be prepared to start work at the scheduled time.

5. Be sure to let the dietitian know if you can’t complete your assigned tasks for a given day. This should be done early in the afternoon so priorities can be identified.

6. Review patients and daily plan with floor dietitian before going to the nursing units. Discuss with the dietitian and obtain permission for break times and end of work time before going to lunch or leaving for the day.

7. Carry necessary material/references with you and have available as needed (e.g. enteral formula guide, formulary guide, growth charts for pediatrics).

8. Use the resources available to you to help with the plan and goals for individual patients. These resources may include other ancillary services (social service, speech therapy, occupational therapy, etc.), nurses, nurses’ aides, family members and the library.

9. Communication is important! This includes both verbal and written communication (discussions, patient interviews, chart notes). Remember if the task is not documented in the chart, it was not done!


10. Remember to write legible, understandable notes for the dietitian or intern who will be following your patients over the weekend or the next day. Provide any pertinent information that will simplify follow-up.

11. Know your patient(s) well enough to answer questions or summarize plan when approached by the dietitian, Purdue instructor, nutrition technician or other hospital health team person.

12. If you have extra time on a particular day, discuss with the floor dietitian additional learning experiences that can be assigned to benefit your experience. Busy work is not the goal, but you are expected to be productive at all times.

Professional Expectations of Interns in the Facilities:

1. Recognize the uniqueness of the supervised practice experience and be prepared to meet the hour demands, realizing the need to complete all necessary tasks before leaving each day.

2. Observe and adhere to policies and procedures of the facility as though employed there. 3. Assume responsibility for one’s own progress, e.g. extra study or time spent if lacking

skills or knowledge in certain areas. 4. Class projects/course work must be completed outside of scheduled work hours unless

preapproved/arranged with Preceptor(s). 5. Realize and accept that each intern has different capabilities in combining the related

skills and knowledge that are being acquired; therefore, each intern shall progress at his/her own rate.

6. Know the performance requirement of the entry-level dietitian as stated in the competencies in the Learning Outcomes form.

7. Come prepared each day. Review necessary materials pertaining to the unit you are assigned.

8. Do not remove any materials from the facility without prior approval of the staff. 9. Report any unscheduled absenteeism to the facility and University staff prior to

scheduled time for arrival. 10. Maintain the confidentiality of all patients/clients.

Grounds for Immediate Dismissal from the MNT Supervised Practice Site To protect the health and well-being of individuals, an intern whose professional performance and/or patient/client interaction endangers or has negative effects on the CPD preceptor relationship or the mental and/or physical health of a patient/client, is required to immediately leave the supervised practice site. An intern who is required to leave the rotation site will be notified in writing of the time, date and place of a remedial meeting with the intern, the CPD Director and/ or Dietetics Program Manager and the preceptor of the supervised practice site. The intern will be provided with a written statement of remediation issues and corrective actions to be taken (see “Non-Compliance/Performance Form” attached). The intern may resume his/her rotation and associated duties after the meeting described above subject to any conditions stated on the Non-Compliance/Performance Form. Subsequent performance by the intern which does not satisfactorily correct the remediation issues or endangers the mental and/or physical health of a patient/client will result in dismissal from the supervised practice site and a failing grade in the course. Grading Scale A = 90% - 100% B = 80% - 89.9% C = 70% - 79.9%


D = 60% - 69.9% F = < 60% If the intern fails to rectify any and all complaints (remedial action) documented in the Non-performance/Complaint form, the student earns a grade of D or F in NUTR 46100 and is precluded from enrolling in CPD courses or filing for graduation from the CPD program.

Criteria for Assessment of Participation in Class Criteria A Thoroughly prepared, accurate responses with minimal hesitation, volunteers frequently, makes

a positive contribution to the class, always responds when called upon. B Prepared, requires some time to think, volunteers occasionally, always responds when called

upon. C Somewhat prepared, can respond with help, seldom volunteers, usually responds when called

upon. D Unprepared, can follow what is going on to a minimal extent but cannot participate even with

help, seldom volunteers, occasionally responds when called upon. F Totally unprepared, unable to follow class activities, never volunteers, seldom responds when

called upon. NOTE: Volunteering, among other things, refers to asking questions of speakers, instructors, and fellow interns; making comments; providing feedback; and helping with management issues of class, e.g., rearranging meeting room. Making a positive contribution refers to salient and insightful questions, comments, or feedback during class meeting times; sharing new found evidence.

c) Physical activity and exercise consists of activity patterns, amount of sedentary time (e.g., TV, phone, computer), and exercise intensity, frequency, and duration.

d) Food availability encompasses factors such as, food planning, purchasing, preparation abilities and limitations, food safety practices, food/nutrition program utilization, and food insecurity.

v) Client History consists of three areas: Relevant medical/health history, relevant medication and supplement history, and relevant social history, a) Medical/health history includes chief nutrition complaint, present/past illness,

disease or complication risk, family medical history, mental/emotional health, and cognitive abilities.

b) Medication and supplement history includes, for instance, prescription and over the counter drugs, herbal and dietary supplements, and illegal drugs.

c) Relevant social history vi) Interpretation of assessment data: Discuss in narrative form. Include estimated energy

and protein needs at a minimum.

b) Nutrition Diagnosis (Step 2): i) Use Nutrition Diagnostic Terminology ii) Include 1 Problem, Etiology, signs/symptoms (PES) statements. Select the most

important and urgent problem to be addressed. iii) Patient-focused expected outcome for the nutrition diagnosis.

c) Nutritional Intervention (Step 3):

i) Include the goal of the intervention ii) Include the nutrition prescription or basic plan iii) Include the implementation of the intervention, describe how the plan was carried out. iv) Include a sample menu to illustrate the intervention when appropriate

d) Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation (Step 4):

i) Review and measurement of patient/client’s progress ii) Review of patient focused expected outcomes iii) Systematic comparison of findings and current status with previous status, intervention

goals, or a reference standard. iv) Overall effect of the intervention on the patient’s/clients health outcomes.

4. Discussion, Summary, and Conclusions

a) Summarize the steps in the nutrition care process that worked particularly well with this particular case.

b) Summarize what steps in the nutrition care process might have changed given the information gathered during the process of preparing the case study.

c) Recommend future direction for investigation and management of similar cases.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DE-IDENTIFYING EACH CASE STUDY. The case study must be presented (both written and orally) as de-identified. There will be an automatic 10 point deduction from each case study if the case study is not de-identified. De-identified information is not “protected health information” as defined in the HIPAA Privacy Regulation. Information is considered de-identified if the items listed on page 13 are removed.


Oral Case Study Presentation (CRD 2.3) Use Oral Case Study Presentation Evaluation form as a guide to organize the oral

presentation. Be sure to include an introduction and summary. Use made-up initials to refer to the patient. Refer to hospital employees by title, not
