understanding that the nurse he is with will be his nurse for the allotted days and he will be able
to form an understanding to the rules and regulations set by the students during nurse-patient
interaction and therapy time
Long term: After 3-4 weeks of nurse-patient interaction, the patient will be comfortable
expressing his feelings, sharing information about his past, and able to share insight and
improve problem solving skills that will improve progress and contribute to the positive change
of behavior in the patient. The student nurse should be able to maintain the trust, rapport, use
of therapeutic communication techniques, help the patient in sharing insights, and help
improve problems solving skills.

END OF INTERACTION
On the second week of interacting with my patient, I can say that I have really
established rapport with him because he was able to share a lot of information with me. I still
see him as somehow intimidating since he is not really vocal unless asked with many questions.
But sometimes, if a question has caught his interest he is really vocal and open with his stories
and makes me feel confident that I am handling my patient well.
I see that my patient has guilt or negative feelings towards himself because in today's
interaction and even the previous days, he mentions phrases like “eh ako kase”, “matigas kase
ulo ko eh” and the likes. The patient was also able to open up freely to me needing to be asked
follow up questions for him to give more details. It was also seen that his focus is better
compared to previous days wherein he will forget my question and drift off.
To summarize, I am still nervous when interacting with him but I feel more confident
because he is starting to take initiative on some topics. He was also able to talk about sensitive
topics about his life easily, not showing any signs of distress (unlike the first day). However, it
may be interpreted that he is intellectualizing his situation since he is not expressing a lot of
emotions and answers factually. Other than that, I see a great improvement in our relationship
as a nurse and patient and learned a lot of things about him
