Teaching Is A Important Part Of The Nursing Process

Teaching-learning session is almost the same to the nursing process that is used in clinical settings (Habel,2006). In the learning process, the initial step is assessment of the learners understanding towards their health condition, which is then followed by the questions what do they need to learn and what will be the appropriate approach to teach them (Habel, 2006).

If the patient may become upset or nurse must ask intimate questions, I find an empty room, wait until the patient’s roommate has left for a while, or use an empty treatment room or office. For instance, one-to-one instruction method is one of teaching method that I can use in my teaching because it can be tailored to patient learning needs and focused on a patient's specific self-management plan. For example, patient learns how to inject insulin effectively through one-to-one instruction. It also provides an opportunity for both the nurse and the patient to communicate knowledge, idea, and feelings primarily through oral exchange, although nonverbal messages can be conveyed as well.

The nurse’s role would be to evaluate first the patient’s level of understanding of their disease. It is important to also include a patient’s support system when teaching. The nurse must give the patient information about his or her condition in a form he or she can easily understand so the patient can develop a genuine comprehension of the disease process. After the patient has a good comprehension of the disease, he or she can then apply this knowledge to his or her own situation. When this knowledge is applied to a patient’s own situation, the patient is then able to ask questions and form a new way of thinking about living with the disease. When these steps are accomplished, the patient will then be able to create a plan that would help in achieving his or her goals in regards to living with the disease process. As nurses caring for patients with chronic illnesses, recognizing where patients are at in their journey with learning about their chronic illness, and meeting them where they are will help when educating and guiding them to the next step.

Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to inform my audience on the importance of vaccinating their children. My central idea is that current education is too lax, we need to better educate our new parents on the importance of vaccinations.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? Parents with infants and young children have been tussling with this proverbial question for several decades now. With the advent of the internet and the World Wide Web, parents have been bombarded with a plethora of information about pros and cons of vaccines from all kinds of sources, some creditable, and some are not. To the non-scientific community, these conflicting information can create problems in the decision making process; thus, forcing parents to make the wrong choices and putting their offspring and others at risk. However, this article will attempt to address the importance of vaccinations, how vaccines work, why we should vaccinate, and why parents should not be afraid to vaccinate their offspring.

Patient teaching is an essential part of the healing procedure. Deliberately knowing how to diet, exercise and sleep can have an impression on the patient’s physical and mental health and this is a vital tool to uphold one’s health and vitality.

Vaccinations are considered to be the greatest health development of the 20th century. Because of advancements in medicine, vaccinations are becoming a widespread medium in the prevention of disease. They have provided the eradication and immunity to many deadly diseases such as smallpox, polio and rubella. Although there is no law that mandates the vaccination of children, they are necessary to prevent the infliction of disease and harm. By making the decision to vaccinate their children, a parent has the potential to save their lives.

My ideal audience for this presentation would include new and parents to be, so that they are able to make educated decisions with regards to vaccinating their children. The information about vaccinations will be beneficial for every person in the world. This presentation will also be educational to any person that plans to become a parent, or a grandparent, at any time in the near, or not so near, future.

Many people today are not properly educated on what vaccines are really all about. Receiving immunization seems like any other normal procedure to be done in a child’s well-check appointment. In part, the pediatrician’s sometimes do not bother explaining to the parents what the vaccination process may provide for their child. Other then the most basic information given not much is known of them. Vaccines should be properly given to individuals, particularly all infants and young children, because not only does it benefit the receiver but also the ones around them too. Some people think vaccinating is not effective and just plain out avoid taking their children to get vaccinated. But before making any

The vaccinations come in three forms and not all of them are safe. The three forms include live virus, dead virus, and toxoids which are chemically altered proteins. Pregnant women should not get live virus vaccinations like the combined MMR (measles, mumps and rubella vaccine as it might harm the unborn baby. The dead virus vaccinations like a flu shot, toxoid vaccines are safe. Apart from these, one should know the vaccinations

Parents need to protect their children from diseases that might be fatal. Health care providers strive to rid everyone from disease and hope that they can cure as many people as possible. Together, everyone can become more informed about how to protect themselves and their loved ones. The healthcare providers need to prepare themselves to answer patients in a reasonable fashion when worried parents come in asking for advice. Parents need to consider the scientific evidence rather than emotional experiences when deciding whether or not to vaccinate their child. If they want their child to have a strong immune system, have little to no risk at getting seriously sick, and help prevent illnesses from spreading then they need to get their children immunized. The government can help prevent people from getting ill by funding projects that will help others innovate safer vaccinations. Throughout history, vaccinations have saved countless lives and saved children from becoming permanently disabled, we need to support immunizations to protect the future generation’s

One is not likely to remember being vaccinated as a child, but those who have been vaccinated are able to benefit from their parents’ choice. Prior to the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine there were hundreds of thousands of incidents of these diseases, but now there are barely any (Colorado Children’s Immunization Coalition [CCIC], n.d. para 3). It is necessary to vaccinate children against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) in order to protect against these serious diseases, and to prevent the possibility of an outbreak. Furthermore, the benefits of being vaccinated outweigh the risks.

The nurse should act as a facilitator, creating an environment conducive to learning that motivates individuals to want to learn and makes it possible for them to learn (Musinski, 1999). The assessment of learning needs, the designing of a teaching plan, the implementation of instructional methods and materials, and the evaluation of teaching and learning should include participation by both the educator and the learner. Thus, the emphasis should be on the facilitation of learning from a nondirective rather than a didactic teaching approach (Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 1998; Musinski, 1999; Mangena & Chabeli, 2005; Donner et al., 2005).

Patient education plays a vital role in nursing, and as first year nursing students it is important to our career to develop skills in the process of teaching as well as developmental theories. To practice this teaching process, we conducted two interviews with a 19-year-old female currently in the early adulthood stage. Ghorbani, Soleimani, Zeinali and Davaji (2014) state that patient education has been shown to reduced anxiety of patients and improve the satisfaction of health care. Client education is also said to improve the quality of life, helps to reduce illness complications, maximize independence and ensures that continuity of care is present (Bastable, 2014). Although within the health care system things preventing or decreasing the effectiveness of patient education may include nurses not have the knowledge of what to teach or how to teach it and lack of time and resources (Ghorbani et al., 2014). To understand further the important of patient education we must possess a knowledge of the education process including assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation (APIE) (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Throughout this paper, we will evaluate our use of the educational process by teaching the learner about caffeine.
