Teaching and learning

Question 1

WHAT ARE MY TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES?

Answer 1

The ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements (2015a) holds that nurses are responsible for promoting and protecting health, safety, and rights of patients. Patient teaching is essential in fulfilling that responsibility.•Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice Standard 12 states, “The registered nurse seeks knowledge and competence that reflects current nursing practice and promotes futuristic thinking” (American Nurses Association, 2015b, p. 76). Registered nurses’ teaching activities include the following:

Question 2

Learning Occurs in Three Domains

Answer 2

People learn in three ways, or domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective (Bloom & Krathwohl, 1956). You should include each of these domains, involving thinking, doing, and caring/feeling, when writing objectives and planning teaching and evaluation strategies.

Question 3

Cognitive Learning- Domain

Answer 3

Cognitive skills are the mental activities for processing incoming informationIncludes memorization, recall, comprehension, and the ability to analyze, synthesize, apply, and evaluate ideas.•Includes memorization, recall, comprehension, and the ability to analyze, synthesize, apply, and evaluate ideas.

Question 4

Psychomotor Learning- Domain

Answer 4

Psychomotor learning involves performing skills that require both mental and physical activity. It requires the learner to value learning the skill (the affective domain) as well as understand and implement the skill (the cognitive domain). Strategies and tools used to teach psychomotor skills include demonstration and return demonstration, simulation models, streaming video, journaling and self-reflection, and printed materials, especially those containing photographs and illustrations.

Question 5

Affective (feelings) Domain

Question 11

Teaching Goals and Learning Objectives

Answer 11

Teaching goals are broad in scope and set down what is expected as the final outcome of the teaching and learning process. They should address all three domains of learning. In contrast, learning objectives are single, specific behaviors that must be completed to accomplish the goal. They are short term and ideally are accomplished in one or two sessions. Similar to patient outcomes in the nursing process, learning objectives/goals should include an action verb, an activity that can be measured or observed, the circumstances of the learner’s performance, and how learning will be measured. For example:•Goal: Demonstrate ability to perform newborn care in 3 days.•Learning Objectives: (1) Changes infant’s diaper, making sure that umbilical cord remains outside the diaper. (2) Demonstrates bathing baby while maintaining newborn’s axillary temperature of greater than 98.5°F (36.9°C).

Question 12

Creating Teaching Plans

Answer 12

The process of creating a teaching plan differs from that of creating a nursing care plan in two key ways:•1. In a teaching plan, the interventions are actually teaching strategies.•2. When planning teaching, you will plan content, sequencing, and the types of instructional materials to be use

Teaching Strategies are the method used to present content. •Content of your teaching includes the information your learner must understand to reach the desired goal. It can include facts, skills, or emotions.

Question 13

Formats for Patient teaching

Answer 13

Lectures•Group Discussion•Demonstration and Return Demonstration•One on One•Printed Materials

Question 14

EVALUATION OF LEARNING

Answer 14

Patient learning is an outcome that is achieved or not. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the teaching plan is essential to improving the quality of instruction
