|Total Points available |332 |
(All content will be taught via ITV. Faculty will travel part of the time weather permitting.)
**Students must attain 75% or greater cumulative score on tests to achieve a passing grade in NURS 102. Activity points will accumulate as achieved, however, they will not be added to the grade until the end of the quarter and will be added only if the test score is a minimum of 75%.
Course Expectations:
1. Follow all policies as outlined in Nursing Student Handbook
2. If absent from class, no points shall be awarded for any learning activities for that lecture.
3. All assignments must be accounted for before progression (regardless of score achieved).
Testing: Failure to take a test at the scheduled time will result in an automatic reduction of 5% of the available score from the earned score. (See p. 18 of the Nursing Student Handbook).
Grading Scale – See Nursing Student Handbook
Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) Testing
• Three (3) proctored computerized Content Mastery Examinations will be administered this quarter: PN Maternal-Newborn, PN Nutrition, PN Pharmacology
• Prior to taking a Content Mastery Examination, each student must complete a non-proctored, online practice test and achieve a score of 90%. This non-proctored, online practice test can be taken more than once, however, a 90% must be achieved. The student will not be allowed to take the proctored exam if the online practice exam is not completed by the due date. Test ID and Password codes will be provided.
• The student’s score on the non-proctored, online practice test will be verified on the ATI website by the designated instructor on the due date.
• An ATI “Proficiency Level II” cut score must be achieved. This is considered minimum competency.
• Failure to achieve a “Proficiency Level II” on the first proctored exam shall require remediation prior to retesting. A student has a maximum of five attempts on a Content Mastery Exam to reach the minimum proficiency Level 2 cut score. The first retake of a Content Mastery Exam is free of charge. Subsequent retakes will result in a cost to the student.
• Failure to achieve a “Proficiency Level II” prior to the end of Spring quarter will result in an Incomplete “I” grade contract.
• Failure to clear the “I” grade contract by the end of the first two weeks of the next quarter will result in the conversion of the “I” grade to a C- and the student will not be allowed to progress.
• The points available on the ATI Content Mastery Tests will be included in the “Tests Only” points for NURS 102 and will be allocated on a curved scale basis. Points will be prorated with the highest percentage score earning 100% of the available points. The score earned on the first attempt of a Content Mastery Exam will be the score on which a student’s earned points are calculated.

Pre-Class Assignment For Cardiac Lecture # 3: RISKO Paper
(Total Points Possible = 3 points)
1. Complete an American Heart Association “RISKO” form using your own data as much as possible. The RISKO form is attached.
• If you do not know your cholesterol and HDL numbers and are unable to have it done, your instructor will provide you with some numbers.
• For this paper, you will be your own “client”.
2. (Lifestyle) Describe your “clients” current lifestyle with regard to:
• Stressors
• Typical daily diet
• Typical exercise (or lack of it) program
3. (RISKO Interpretation) Interpret the RISKO profile, using the guidelines of “What Your Score Means” for your
“client.”
4. (Recommendations) Develop a lifestyle plan for your “client”. Include specific recommendations you would make for this “client” with regard to identified risk factors. Include areas of:
• Stress Management
• Diet
• Exercise
**On your paper, please use the following headings:
• Lifestyle
• RISKO Interpretation
• Recommendations/ Lifestyle Plan
**Grading will be based on how well the above three aspects are discussed. Length of paper is 2-4 pages, single spaced. Hint: If paper is less than 2 pages, it probably does not reflect good critical thinking. If paper is more than 4 pages, it
probably needs to be more concise.
**This paper is due on the day of cardiac lecture # 3, before start of lecture. Late papers will be deducted one point per day late.

|Calculating Heart Disease Risk |
|[pic][pic]Nurses can help their clients develop increased awareness of potentially modifiable factors that increase the risk of developing heart disease by having them |
|calculate their own level of risk. The American Heart Association's RISKO scale, which is based on data collected in the long-term Framingham Heart Study, is a popular tool |
|for this purpose. It has been most useful for education of healthy individuals who are currently free of heart disease but may be at risk of developing heart disease in the |
|next few years. |
