General Instructions for the Teaching Plan Before beginning this assignment, students should read the chapter entitled ‘Teaching’ in Hinkle & Cheever: Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, Fourteenth Edition. Fundamentals of Nursing. Completion of the teaching plan should demonstrate the five components of the nursing process and is related to a patient’s learning needs. First, assess the patient in relation to a knowledge deficit. Knowledge deficits will appear as the patient adjusts to changes in their lifestyle resulting from current illness or hospitalization. Second, create a teaching plan that focuses on the knowledge deficit and special learning needs of the patient. Third, implement the plan by actually teaching the patient. Fourth, evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching. The teaching plan must relate to Nursing 240 content. It is recommended that your clinical instructor approve your topic prior to beginning this paper. Students may not submit any paper or part of a paper that has been used for credit in another course. A. Specific Instructions: 1. You must select a person with a learning need from the inpatient clinical setting. You may review your ideas with your clinical instructor prior to creating your teaching plan. 2. All teaching plans must be submitted using the provided format and must be typewritten. 3. All sources must be documented within the body of the paper and listed on an attached reference page using the APA Style. “A Brief Guide to Citing Sources in the APA Style,” is available at the reference desk and on the Website for the El Camino College Library. 4. Ten points will be deducted from the total score for each day the paper is late. 5. Students are to submit their completed Teaching Plan to turnitit.com. Students are to print out the results from Turnitin.com along with their paper to their clinical instructor. B. Grading Criteria: 1. Define learning in your own words. C. Assessment: 1. Patient Situation a. The patient situation must be written in a concise, clear, and accurate manner. You must include patient identifiers, chief complaint, and present problem. You should only include past medical history and family history if the information is relevant to the knowledge deficit. 2. Identify the learning need. The assessments should validate the need for teaching. 3. Patient’s Structural Variables a. In the first column list the patient’s structural variables. b. In the second column cite a generalization that corresponds to each structural variable. Your generalizations must come from professional nursing literature and you must include your sources. Underneath the generalization explain is some detail about whether or not the generalization is true for your patient. c. In the third column, assess the impact of your patient’s structural variables upon the teaching/learning process (but not upon the medical diagnosis of the patient). Identify whether the potential effect of the structural variables upon teaching/learning may be positive, negative, or have no impact. d. You must use the Structural Variable format (below). Align the information in the second and third columns with the first column so that the reader does not need to flip back to the first page to find each structural variable. 4. Assess the patient’s readiness to learn D. Diagnosis and Goal 1. Knowledge, Deficient, Nursing Diagnosis Specify the focus of the patient’s learning need in the Related (r/t) portion of the knowledge deficit diagnosis. a. Alternatively, the following format may be used. i.Problem, etiology (knowledge deficit – subject), signs and symptoms ii.E.g. Imbalanced Nutrition more than body requirements related to lack of basic nutritional knowledge as evidenced by BMI > 30 and reported undesirable eating patterns iii. The lack of nutritional knowledge is the cause of the problem. This is also the focus of nursing interventions such as the teaching plan. 2. Health Teaching GoalThe goal must be short-term, measurable, and realistic. It must be specific and may relate to the prevention of secondary disabilities and/or maintenance of the steady-state.E. Implementation1. Specific Content PresentedOutline the major areas of the teaching content. Do not write word for word what you will say. The important aspects must be clear to the reader. 2. Briefly describe the teaching strategies used. 3. Teaching Tool Utilized Students must convey information in a supplemental format in addition to talking to the patient. The formats or teaching tools may be visual, auditory, or tactile. Examples of teaching tools include pamphlets, supplies, and videos. The tool can be original or commercial. It must be appropriate to the patient and the teaching goal. Attach a copy of the teaching tool to the written paper. F. Evaluation and Documentation1. Evaluation. You must identify to what extent the health teaching goal was or was not met. Focus on the patient’s response to teaching. The student should plan for feedback or a return demonstration from the patient. The student will want to know how much of the teaching was beneficial – NOT just whether the patient liked the teaching – but, how much was retained. How much does the patient remember? How well does the patient demonstrate the learned task or behavior? Realistically identify the potential impact of the teaching on the patient. 1.Documentation Include a brief narrative note as if you were writing in a patient’s chart. 2.Use of APA format and references The citations within the text of the paper and the reference page must provide the information necessary to identify and retrieve all sources cited in the paper. The sources must demonstrate research beyond class materials. There must be a minimum of three sources, including at least one nursing journal. The paper must be APA Style and points will be subtracted for specific infractions of this format. 3.Neatness, Legibility, Grammar, Spelling, and Organization The paper must be typewritten and in the format discussed. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and spelling, as well as for lack of neatness, legibility, and organization. Points will be deducted if the grading tool is not submitted with the paper. Students are required to submit their Teaching Plan to Turnitin.com for review and submit the Turnitin results with their teaching plan. Allow sufficient time to retrieve documentation from Turnitin.com based on a 24-hour turn around.
