Teaching plan: Patient with diabetes

Patient Maria G. is a thirty-two-year-old Latina female recently diagnosed with type II diabetes. She is the single mother of a young boy, Luis, who has been flagged as being pre-diabetic. The teaching plan for Maria G. will educate her about the potential consequences of diabetes and empower her with knowledge so she can improve her diet and exercise habits, with the hope of minimizing the need to rely upon insulin injections to manage her condition.

The objectives of the teaching plan are as follows:

The patient will be able to understand and describe her specific types of diabetes.

The patient will be able to name and describe the specific type or types of diabetes medications she has been prescribed, how to take them, and how she intends to fit the dosage into her lifestyle.

The patient will be able to perform proper self-monitoring of blood glucose…...

Though the lesson plan cannot project what distribution of critical thinking and reasoning abilities will define the classroom, it will be appropriate to shape the lesson plan with the capacity for flexibility in its presentation.

In essence, the authors are forcing all nursing students and those who practice nursing today to understand that because of overblown "materialistic values, environmental sustainability, technology, clashes between societies" and global conflicts, the role of nurses has changed drastically, thus requiring some type of instruction on these and other topics (2005, pg. 153).
In addition, the authors maintain that nursing students of today and in the near future must extend their empathy "from a relatively passive, cognitive level to one of active, affective engagement" which in the end will result in engendered caring and move "the consideration of global conflict and war into a personal, relational context" (2005, pg. 154). One important way to accomplish this goal in relation to a classroom setting would be to compose a personal narrative on the events of September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was destroyed by an alleged terrorist organization, being…...

For instance, the presentation includes breastfeeding modeling, written literature, and suggestions about getting involved in support groups, which are actions that support cognitive, affective, and psychomotor goals. In order to facilitate the learner's achievement of these goals through the previously listed actions and other instructional programming, the program insures that the patient feel comfortable both physically and emotionally and that her personal and cultural background, including her learning style, are taken into consideration. To further assist the learner in attaining the stated goals, the program is organized in a logical manner that places information and modeling before self-attempts. Additionally, by maintaining a positive attitude about the learner's cultural background, feelings, and learning style, the program increases the chances of success. Finally, the program clearly presents both goals and actions associated with successfully completing the program, and the teacher was able to work with the learner by identifying the learner's…...

The procedure itself and the hospital stay associated with it is only one small chapter in the patient's life. They will eventually go home and will have many years after the procedure. It is important for the nursing staff to make a positive impact on how they feel about the procedure. The procedure will represent a lasting memory to the patient. If the patient perceives this to be a time of strength and care from nurturing individuals then it will help them to be able to develop the coping mechanisms necessary to learn to live with the after-effects of the procedure.
If the patient sees this as a negative experience, then it could produce unwanted effects such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other emotional problems that could have an effect on their ability to cope with the life changes. Those that develop appropriate coping mechanisms will be more likely…...

In what ways did the wave of the nursing shortage in the 1980's and in 2000 support or constrain theoretical thinking? Why? Are there ways to influence the cycle of shortage and theoretical thinking? Identify one nursing theorist that would support your discussion/views. Provide rationale for selection of theorist.

Nursing shortages have been a problem in this country for a long time. It has been found that because of these shortages there needed to be a better way to incorporate theoretical thinking into nursing education so that nurses are better prepared to be the best that they can be. The accomplishment of critical thinking abilities has been recognized as an essential product of undergraduate nursing teaching. It has been found that nursing scholars learn best by way of experiential education. Kolb's experiential learning theory is the basis for a practice incorporation technique intended to offer critical thinking skills in undergraduate nursing…...

Lewin model of change can be useful as a way of encouraging people to get motivated about changing an ingrained policy that is no longer serving the organization. The first, foundational step of the model is the need to 'unfreeze' current standard operating procedures and to convince workers of the need for change. In the scenario you described, it seems as though there was a base level of understanding of the workers about the need for more effective use of bar code medication administration (BCMA) at the end of twelve months, given the organization had already had this program in existence for one year with a compliance rate of 90%. However, there was clearly a failure in terms of the implementation of the actual change component in terms of the design of the training program. The 'refreezing' should not take place until the standard operating procedures have taken hold…...

unning head: Mental Health Nursing Mental Health Nursing 3Mental Health NursingDepression is a widespread psychiatric disorder that has been affecting many people. Grief is a natural reaction that gets experienced when one experiences a significant and permanent loss. The loss of a loved one mainly causes it. The client, when she enters the room, looks around and makes eye contact. She appears to be well-composed as she smiles and is happy talking about her family and her dog. She seems not to have any sign of aggression as she sits quietly and observes the room. Expectations are different from reality as I expected to find someone who was aggressive, who had neglected themselves for two years. I found the client wanted the best for herself, had manageable depressive symptoms, and was ready to open up.The client, Sheila, is a 53-year-old white female from Gilbert, Sc, who is about 112 pounds…...

Nursing Evidence-Based Practice
The press for evidence-based practice in nursing and for nurses as consumers of research is driven by a number of substantive factors. The state nursing boards and The Joint Commission (TJC) insist that policies and practices have a foundation in research. The keystone of this trend is that nurses must be able to read nursing research discriminately, understand how medical research relates to practice, and must sufficiently possess high levels of new literacy so that they can evaluate the research articles they review. When nurses are competent consumers of research, they are better prepared to integrate the research into their practice.

In addition to the emphasis on evidence-based practice and research consumption in nursing, strong economic forces are also directing this trend toward practicing nurses becoming consumers of research and evidence-based practitioners. Healthcare stakeholders require greater accountability with respect to effective practices, transparency, and efficiency in order to be…...

Nurse Eduactor Strategic Plan
Nurse educator strategic plan

A strategic plan for a nurse educator

At present, I would say that my greatest strength as a nurse educator is my willingness to challenge myself in the pursuit of excellence. Within the next year, I will obtain my MSN with a specific concentration in education. Previously, I obtained certification as a Basic Life Support instructor (BLS). Also within the next year I intend to seek out certification in Advance Cardiac Live Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Life Support Instructor (PAL) with the intention of becoming both an ACLS and PALS instructor. These will enhance my capabilities as a nurse educator and provide greater specificity in the range and types of teaching I will be able to convey.

My second great strength as a nurse educator is the compassion I have for my patients and my genuine love of teaching. A nurse is always a 'teacher,' teaching…...

What is the most valuable lesson you've learned as a nurse that you've tried to impart to your students?

Get to know your patients. You can make a valuable human connection with any of your patients, if you just put in the attempt. Their care will be so much more effective and your time at work will be all the more richer.

How do you build awareness of the personal attributes of your students (Clark, 2008)?

I try and see my students outside the classroom to get to know them. I need to be aware of their personal attributes and how those can benefit them as nurses to be. Thus, I try to arrange picnics, pizza parties and other outings with my students so that we can all relax and get to know each other better.

How do you make some of the more intricate educational theories more attainable for your students?

Nurse's ole As esearcher
The nurse plays a unique role as a researcher. This involves them focusing on the latest treatment options, how they affect patients and the best times specific techniques should be utilized. Moreover, they must understand the numerous side effects of different therapies and how this will affect the patients they are working with. These areas help them to serve as confidant in comprehending how and when to apply certain procedures. (Allan, 2005)

At the same time, the nurse will understand the psychology, customs, behavior and biological factors which are contributing to a host of conditions. This enables them to comprehend the challenges patients are going through and the lasting impact this is having on them. When this happens, they can reduce suffering and improve their ability to cope with the issues they are facing. These insights will help patients to make a full recovery with reduced chances for…...

Teaching Theories and Nursing

It was Nightingale that recognized the potential of combining sound logical reflection and empirical research in the development of scientific knowledge that lead to evidence-based practices of today. She saw the need to only classify one's illness by the best possible available knowledge but to also collect patient information in the form of survey. Nightingale's work was also groundbreaking as it was the first to integrate such ideas into one method. She understood how factors such as housing and nutrition could have a direct influence on the patient's health and prognosis (McDonald, 2001, p. 68). Still many researchers to come would look at her work as primitive, inconclusive and one-sided. They would see how such details act as an extension of evidence and the attention paid to details as research of…...

Technology-based teaching strategies can greatly accelerate the how both teaching and learning occur and therefore often reduce traditional issues and concerns faced by students and instructors. This approach changes the conventional way of thinking about how quality nursing programs are assessed and changes the levels of requirements to better suit student learning with better access to libraries, counseling and tutoring services, computing equipment, tuition, and financial aid to name a few.
But where this Associates Degree approach will benefit the profession most is in the healthcare system where it is needed most. New nurses will be better acclimated to the needs of sophisticated logging processes, medical billing and inventory as well as scheduling and other tasks now all handled via digital processing and computer.
