(2)"Faculty -Led Clinical Experiences", also known as "cohort placement", means placement of a group of up to eight students where the nursing faculty member guides the selection of student experiences and provides oversight by being present on the unit or readily available to the students for the entire duration of the clinical shift.

(3)"Faculty member" means an individual nurse educator or nurse educator associate who are in a program of nursing education and the individual nurse primary instructor or clinical teaching associate in a program educating certified nursing assistants and certified medication aides who are licensed as required by Board rules.

(4)"Faculty of Record", for the purposes of these rules, means the faculty member who is actively engaged in delivering course content, has the ability to evaluate students, assign and change grades, and who students will be asked to evaluate at the end of the term. Also referred to as the "instructor of record".

(5)"Federal regulations concerning substance abuse testing", for the purposes of these rules means as used in ORS 676.190(4) (I), requiring a "licensee to submit to random drug or alcohol testing in accordance with federal regulations" and refers to licensees who are selected for random testing by a scientifically valid method, such as a random number table or a computer-based random number generator that is matched with licensees' unique identification numbers or other comparable identifying numbers. Under the selection process used, each covered licensee shall have an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made, as described in 40 CFR § 199.105(c) (2011). Random drug tests must be unannounced and the dates for administering random tests must be spread reasonably throughout the calendar year, as described in 40 CFR § 199.105(c)(7) (2011).

(6)"Final clinical practicum" means the final portion of pre-licensure student's clinical education experience. Also refers to titles such as "integrative practice," capstone," "immersion," and others. For this practicum, the student is assigned one-to-one to a registered nurse clinical preceptor for registered nurse students or a licensed practical nurse for clinical preceptor for practical nurse students for this experience. The nursing faculty member is not continuously present, but provides oversight for the experience and meaningful presence.

(7)"Fitness to practice evaluation" means the process a qualified evaluator uses to determine if the licensee can safely perform the essential functions of the licensee's health practice. Fitness to Practice evaluation may be in addition to a Treatment Program Evaluation.

(8)"Focused Assessment", for the purposes of these rules, means recognizing the patient's priority condition at the time of the intervention. The nurse collects and validates and records assessment data and demonstrates attentiveness by observing, monitoring, and reporting signs and symptoms, and changes in the patient's condition in an ongoing manner. For the licensed practical nurse (LPN), the focused assessment remains within the parameters of the Registered Nurse (RN) established plan of care or within the parameters of the licensed independent practitioner (LIP's) established treatment plan.

(9)"Focused Plan of Care" means the licensed practical nurse (LPN) prioritization of interventions when interacting with a client. The LPN reviews the plan of care and determines, based on their focused assessment what items in the registered nurse or in the licensed independent practitioner treatment plan, are most pertinent during the interaction with the client.. If the LPN determines that the observations may require a change in the plan of care, the LPN must discuss these documented observations with the RN or LIP. Only the RN may author and update the nursing plan of care while only the LIP may author or update the treatment plan.

(10)"Full-time" for the purposes of these rules, means at least 32 hours of regularly scheduled work each week.

(11)"Functional impairment" means providing care at the authorized level of licensure or certification when unable or unfit to perform procedures or make decisions due to physical, mental, or substance use disorder. This impairment is evidenced by documented deterioration of functioning in the practice setting or by assessment of a health care provider qualified to diagnosis the condition or status.
