Summary of Teaching/Learning Interaction : Accident Prevention and Safety Promotion for Parents and Caregivers of Infants

I could not sleep. Just knowing that if I did choose to close my eyes they might get a hold of Célianne’s baby. Older men watched her sleep.. She had her fingernails buried deep into the stillborns back. I want her to let go. “C-Célianne” I whispered. Whispering was not going to get her attention, but I did not want to draw attention too. I tapped her shoulder while others on the boat talked loudly. “Célianne j-just let the b-baby go” was all I could say. Waiting for her to wake up tear droplets fell. She sniffled time from time ,but never stopped letting the tears fall. Her grip got tighter on the stillborn. She was finally awake, but her eyes never opened. The sound of the ocean was all were heard, the smell of sweaty dirty bodies were all we smelled, and the looks of defeat were all we witnessed. “T-This is my baby” was the first thing she said. She repeated it a few more times to reassure herself. “THIS IS MY BABY. This is my baby and none of you will take this baby away from me” Célianne eyes were bloodshot red and by the

Nurses work in a variety of health care settings including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, home care and community health. Due to this direct contact with a diverse patient population, nurses have a responsibility to play a critical role in developing, evaluating and propagating health information. As direct care providers, nurses assess patients for barriers to learning these include, age, language, cognitive issues, vision and hearing impairments or any other aspects that may impede the learning process. Nurses also assess patients for different learning styles. Some patients learn best by reading information and others prefer demonstration or writing information Younger patients may prefer watching audiovisual materials or interactive games to facilitate learning. As advocated for our patients, it is important for nurses to choose and evaluate the most appropriate delivery method of health care information. It is important for nurses and health care professionals to be able to evaluate websites and health related resources to ensure they provide reliable, quality health information that is based on medical research and not opinions from trusted sources (U.S. National Library of Medicine,

As a medical assistant, it is my responsibility to ensure communication is clear and written properly. If the patient doesn’t understand something, it is also my job to clarify and explain it to them and make sure they understand everything.

Although teaching may be done first, last, or in the middle of patient care, teaching is a very important part of the nursing process. Teaching is important for the patient and family to understand the importance of their care, and it allows them to make an informed decision on the care they receive. To appropriately teach a patient we must look at the patient’s background, make a nursing diagnosis, develop behavioral objectives, outline the teaching plan, and evaluate the teaching’s effectiveness.

Three education materials were selected for further evaluation to identify its effectiveness in delivery patient education.

CPS made a follow up visit to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital to see the child Cynthia. Upon arriving at the hospital social worker Sarah Anne Powers escorted CPS to Cynthia’s room. When CPS enter the mother Ms. Marmolejos, BF Johnny Gonzalez and the child Anthony were visiting Cynthia.

Information should be in congruent with what patients had been taught by other health care professionals.

Bringing home a newborn is an exciting time during a couples’ life. Often, people have their life planned: get married, have a great career, have children, live happy ever after. People do not expect that they will lose their child at such a young age. “Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden death of an infant less than 1 year of age that cannot be explained after a thorough investigation is conducted, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and a review of the clinical history” (CDC, 2016). Per the Mayo Clinic, although the cause is officially unknown, it appears that SIDS may be associated with abnormalities in the brain. This paper will explain the causes of SIDS, how to help prevent it, and how to help a family with coping after SIDS has occurred.

What an incredible journey Catherine’s mother has taken us on. Life is filled with mystery and intrigue. In a moment in a twinkling, even a blink devastation can take it all away. Just the thought of what her parents went through, makes you realize life is short. How good news that you are pregnant, turn into bad news and become a tragedy. Unfolding right before your eyes and you can’t do anything about it. Finding out that your baby heart is on the wrong side, stomach in her chest and no room for her lungs to grow. Catherine’s diagnosis (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia), that will lead to congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. “Developmental psychopathology which suggest that we gain a better understanding of children’s disorders

Several studies have found that infants who used pacifier during their last sleep were at lower risk of SIDS in comparison to those who do not used a pacifier. However the mechanism for this effect is still unclear, but lowered arousal thresholds, favorable modification of autonomic control during sleep, and maintaining airway patency during sleep have been proposed. Many cultures have traditionally used swaddling the infant in a blanket to soothe infants and in some cases to encourage sleep in the supine position. Some insists that swaddling can alter certain risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome, thus reducing the risk of SIDS. Perhaps, it has been suggested that the physical restraint associated with swaddling may prevent infants

Dr. Barnes and the patient’s obstetrician decided to stop treatment on a twenty- three week old, premature baby girl. The infant was in good hands of a neonatal nurse specialist, Mr. Simmons. He is accustomed to treating infants of her weight at 630 grams (1.4 pounds) and smaller. Simmons knew that the baby would need to be placed on respiratory support and transferred to the nearest tertiary care facility in order to survive. Dr. Barnes, a pediatric associate was on call for the evening. Dr. Barnes felt that the measures needed to make sure that the baby would survive were too aggressive for her condition. Dr. Barnes and the obstetrician called off the treatment before consulting with the new parents and having a chance to discuss a plan of action, letting the parents make the final decision.

Thank you for sharing your post. I think your post reminds me of my patient education experience when I was a volunteer in Bellevue Hospital. My first assignment was to provide medication education to patients in the medical surgical unit. The nurse manager wanted me to go to each patient and told them the medication they were administered. I was requested to provide the patients about the adverse effect of the medication and the symptoms of complications after administered them. Before I went to the patients’ room, I had to look for the medications that the patients took and studied their uses, their adverse effects and possible complications. I needed to prepare myself before I went to the patients’ room. Otherwise, I would felt embarrassed

When I first looked around I couldn’t see any kids but then a woman who worked there led me to a room filled with cribs. In the cribs were dozens of infants who were noticeably malnourished.

Just as Group education visual teaching is also considered to be a cost-effective method of teaching patients who do not speak the predominant language. In addition to the use of Interactive multimedia strategies which incorporates in-line exercises to detect any knowledge deficits, provided prompt feedback, and confirmed patient understanding in real time. (Zeena Engelke, 2016) Lecturing is another strategy use within the clinical setting and is an efficient way to share subject matter with a large audience, and certainly has a long tradition and continued relevance in nursing education. This strategy goes hand in hand with the cognitive learning
