CNA (2017) Code of Ethics

Patients have the right to make informed decisions about their care
Information for patients must be accurate, complete, and relevant to their needs
Nurses should anticipate patient needs for information based on their overall condition (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), identified risks, and interprofessional treatment plans

Health Teaching

A focused form of instructional dialogue used in client-centered relationships
The purpose is to provide clients and families with knowledge and life skills needed to make good decisions, slow or prevent progression of illness and promote the highest possible quality of life

Outcomes of Client Education

Maintaining and Promoting Health and Preventing Illness
Health Restoration
Coping with impaired functioning

Three Learning Domains

Cognitive: Understanding the content. A prerequisite for changing attitudes and developing the mastery of psychomotor skills
Affective: Changing attitudes and promoting acceptance
Psychomotor: Hands-on skills development

Role of the Nurse in Health Teaching

Nurses act as guides, coaching on actions to improve overall health
Nurses are information providers, teaching patients how to better care for themselves
Nurses support clients by connecting them to appropriate community supports and offering knowledgeable emotional support to minimize the impact of temporary setbacks

Role of Nurse in Teaching and Learning

The nurse's role in patient education is multifaceted
It involves creating and adapting the learning environment to facilitate learning
Use a patient-centered approach to assess the learning needs of patients
Using the most appropriate educational strategy

Explore the Goals of Client Centered Education

Engaging clients as active participants in the learning process
Ensuring that health teaching interventions are supportive of the client's preferences and values in order to achieve positive clinical outcomes
Introduce participatory strategies which build on client's personal strengths
Collaborative learning environments allow nurses to offer sufficient information, specific instruction and emotional support to clients
The teacher must start where the learner is, while supporting the learner's natural desire to learn

Facilitating Client-Centered Learning

Emphasizes social constructivism, safe and shame-free learning environment
Incorporates active listening, establishing relationships, and tailoring approaches to individual needs
Includes reinforcing health literacy, building knowledge and skills, and supporting self-management strategies.

RNAO LE.A.R.N.S

A foundation for client-centered learning based on four pillars
Client-Centered Care: Fundamental aspect of client-centered learning
Promoting Health Literacy: Encouraging individuals to understand health information
Building Knowledge and Skills: Helping clients to acquire essential health information and practical skills
Supporting Self-Management Strategies: Equipping clients with control over their health care

Check for Understanding

Client recalls and comprehends
Nurse assesses client recall, comprehension, and/or skill
Nurse explains or demonstrates new concept and/or skill
Nurse clarifies and tailors explanation and/or demonstration
Nurse reassesses client recall, comprehension, and/or skill

Comparison of Nursing Process, Clinical Judgement Model and Teaching Processes

Outlines the overlapping aspects of the nursing process, clinical judgement, and teaching processes, focusing on assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. These aspects are applied specifically to nursing care, encompassing factors like learning style, family participation and health literacy.

Examine the Transtheoretical Model of Change

A model used to explore a person's motivational readiness to intentionally change health habits
Stages of change: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance.

Discuss factors affecting a client's readiness and ability to learn

Factors such as level of anxiety, physical ability, comorbid health problems, crisis and life transitions can impact learning, as can level of social support, health literacy, developmental level and cultural awareness.

Culture & Developmental Stage: Learning Styles and Health Literacy

Explore how culture and developmental stage influence learning styles and health literacy.
Analyze how nurses can integrate these factors into the teaching process.

Learning Styles

Visual: Learns best by seeing, likes demonstrations, writes things down to organize thoughts
Auditory: Learns best with verbal instructions, details are less important, talks things through.
Kinesthetic: Learns best by doing, hands-on activities, needs action, and likes to touch and feel.

Health Literacy

The ability to use printed and written information in society to achieve one's goals and develop one's knowledge
Almost 9 million Canadians have serious reading, writing, and math problems.
Importance of health literacy in health care, often related to medication adherence. It encompasses related skills like prose, document, and numerical literacy abilities, that are required to understand and utilize health information.
Factors that influence health literacy include culture and developmental stage.
Importance of health literacy for achieving positive health outcomes.
