Study Notes
Patient Education
- A nurse teaching a patient's family member about permanent tube feedings at home is meeting the purpose of patient education, which is to provide education and support to patients and their families.
- There are three types of patient education: health promotion, disease prevention, and restoration of health.
Types of Patient Education
- Health promotion education aims to promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles.
- Disease prevention education aims to prevent illnesses and disease complications.
- Restoration of health education aims to restore health and wellness in patients with chronic illnesses.
Teaching/Learning
- A nurse attending a seminar on teaching/learning demonstrates a good understanding of the subject matter.
- To determine if teaching is effective, the nurse should look for evidence of learning, such as the patient's ability to perform a task or demonstrate understanding.
Learning Domains
- The cognitive domain involves the acquisition of knowledge and understanding.
- The affective domain involves the development of attitudes and values.
- The psychomotor domain involves the acquisition of skills and behaviors.
Teaching Techniques
- Feedback is an essential element of teaching, as it provides learners with information about their performance.
- The nurse should use reinforcement, such as positive feedback, to encourage learning.
- The nurse can use various teaching techniques, such as demonstrations, return demonstrations, and group discussions, to enhance learning.
Learning Objectives
- A learning objective/outcome is a statement that describes what the learner will be able to do or achieve after the teaching session.
- The nurse should include specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives in the teaching plan.
Teaching Process
- The teaching process involves several steps, including assessing what the patient already knows, setting mutual goals, teaching what the patient wants to know, and evaluating the outcomes of patient education.
- The nurse should prioritize the patient's needs and goals when implementing the teaching process.
Patient-Centered Care
- The nurse should assess the patient's perceived ability to successfully complete a task, known as self-efficacy, when planning patient education.
- The nurse should use patient-centered teaching methods, such as active learning and problem-solving, to promote patient engagement and motivation.
Teaching Strategies
- The nurse should use various teaching strategies, such as visual aids, demonstrations, and group discussions, to meet the patient's individual learning needs.
- The nurse should consider the patient's developmental stage, cultural background, and learning style when selecting teaching strategies.
Evaluation Methods
- The nurse can use various evaluation methods, such as quizzes, return demonstrations, and observational checks, to assess patient learning.
- The nurse should evaluate the patient's ability to apply what they have learned in real-life situations.
