Karl, as mentioned in the patient profile has been diagnosed with asthma. As this disease is very for broad for the purpose of this session I have choose to focus on the inhaler technique. It is a technique which is required on a daily basis and if the technique is not correct it can result in complications. PLANNING: A teaching plan can be seen as a blue print action to achieve the goal and the objectives that have been agreed upon by the educator and the learner (Bastable 2014). The development of teaching plans prove beneficial as it allows the nurse as the educator to see what is involved in the process, what needs to be addressed and what are the possible outcomes of the teaching plan. As stated in the patient profile it is clear to see …show more content…
This domain has been divided into seven levels; perception, set, guided responses, mechanism, complex overt responses, adaptation and origination. With this Karl will utilise his perception by following direction and performing the inhaler technique correctly, and be aware of the signs and symptoms of an asthma attack. The mechanism behaviour which is the ability to perform steps of the skill can increase his confidence when carrying out the inhaler …show more content…
IMPLEMENTATION: For the purpose of this assignment the above teaching plan was not implemented. When implementing a teaching plan it is important to remember that the original assessed and planned concept are being adhered to and effective communication is being utilised (Whitehead and Irvine, 2010). In certain situations the teaching plan may be altered to a certain extent for uncontrollable reasons or educational reasons, if so it would have to deemed appropriate and have the learner’s needs at hand. EVALUATION: Evaluation is the process that provides evidence that what we as nurses and nurse educators make a value-added difference in the care we provide. It can be defined as the systematic process by which the worth of teaching and learning is judged (Bastable 2014). There are two main evaluation models when evaluating Karl’s learning; they are the formative and the summative. The formative evaluation is integral to the education process itself, this on-going evaluation helps the nurse prevent any problems which may occur during the teaching. To evaluate the teaching it is important to know what Karl has learned, ask questions to discover if the information provided has been effective. The summative evaluation is to determine the effects of the teaching efforts. It is intent to summarise what has happened as a result of the education. Guiding questions to ask Karl after the teaching plan had been implemented would be did he find the teaching
On attached paper On attached paper The bronchioles use elastic fibers instead of rings of cartilage; therefore, they are more likely to collapse. During an asthmatic episode, the airways are inflamed and are sensitive. The muscles around the airway tightens and causes less air to pass to the lungs.
The topic of my capstone project is to educate other members of the team such as respiratory therapist, pharmacist, and radiology technicians about the scope of practice and the role of the nurse practitioners in different settings including the emergency department. Many of these co-workers have a lack of information about the skills, duties, and responsibilities of the nurse practitioners and sometimes this can delay treatment for patients due to clarifications for orders. If the roles of the nurse practitioners are explained and clarified to other members of the team the treatments for patients can be executed faster, but also “Advanced Nurse Practitioners can have a positive impact on other staff members by improving knowledge, skills
Goal Statement Worksheet Module 2 • Identify target learner(s): Nursing Students • State what learners should know and be able to do in the performance context: Learner (s) should be able demonstrate the skill of obtain a blood pressure on patients. Student should be able to interpret blood pressuring readings. Students is able to record blood pressure in hospital chart and electronic system. Student is able to explain the importance of blood pressure measurements. Student is able to identify conditions related to blood pressure.
Prior to implementation of the quality project, a signed consent will be obtained from the registered nurses, and then a 10-point questionnaire will be utilized to assess knowledge pre the education and post-education, with additional questions to assess knowledge gained. To protect confidentiality, no personal identifier will be used for any of the participants. All completed questionnaires will be stored in a locked cabinet in my office and data will be recorded on my personal computer with security access ensured. Data will be kept for three years after
This ongoing training will enhance nurses’ development of observational skills, knowledge of normal and abnormal vital signs, early warning signs (EWS) tool correct use and physical assessment. This will improve patient quality of care, prevent deterioration and improve patient safety (Atkinson, 2013). Thus, by providing ongoing training in New Zealand hospitals will enhance nurses’ development and care for
delivery of the pilot program. The final questionnaire will be a post-intervention survey of the efficiency of the project. Evidence-Based Intervention Evaluation of teaching practice and reflection, therefore, go hand in hand to help nurse educators develop their practice and become better educators (O’Malley and Fleming, 2012). However, to get the most out of evaluation, nurse educators must be; (1) understand common approaches used in education practice and (2) recognize the strengths and limitations that are connected to each learned approach. Nurse educators will be able to engage in self-evaluation (Hughes and Quinn, 2013).
While I was reading Flowers for Algernon, I was interested to find more out about disabilities, so over the past week I have been researching about asthma. Asthma is a condition causing narrowing of the airways or tubes of the lungs. It is not contagious but you can get it out of nowhere. I have also been having fun with this research, I have got to play a game and I took a quiz I got a ninety percent. In this essay I will tell you what will help stop it, how will I get it and the types of asthma.
The first important information about the article, Sustaining School-Based Asthma Interventions through Policy and Practice Change, is related to the role of school in asthma management programs due to the amount of time children spend in the school setting, the facility to create an educational program, and the opportunity to reach a diversity of children with cultural and economic background. Moreover, school can assist strengthen behavior change essential to make long-lasting positive effects on health outcomes, and results in improvement in asthma care management. Furthermore, school-based intervention may be sustained by collaboration between parents, schools, health care providers, and other entities. The second important information

My goals for this course is to gain a better understanding regarding health care initiatives and health promotion. Take the practical information, tools and incorporate into everyday practice. Since I have been working associate degree nurse (ADN) for 21 years. The topic for my first paper was "Why BSN are better nurses than ADN nurse" my first thought is their not. I took away after research that ADN focuses more on the task at hand and BSN have a better understanding of theory and
Nursing is a most trusted and gratifying profession.

Asthma has a significant impact on society, affecting over 6 million children under the age of 18 in the United States alone. Reasonable ways to control this disease are medications such as inhalers and spirometry to test the strength of your lungs. There is a myriad factor from environmental constraints, physical and the one built by humans is noted as a major factor affecting the development of asthma. Indoor air pollution is the most common form of air pollution, along with first-hand and second-hand smoking. Air pollution is often greater in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods with mold and cockroach infestations and access to medical care.
Improvements of inhalation injury is a result of improvements in the critical care rather than focusing on the intervention for smoke inhalation (Dries D and Endorf F,
The analyzing, evaluating and critiquing theories is helpful and important when using particular theory and will apply it in specific area. The purpose of analyzing, evaluating and critiquing theories is to determine the weaknesses and strengths of a particular theory, to determine the need to theory improvement and to assess the theory relevance and applicability to particular filed. In nursing dripline, analyzing, evaluating and critiquing theories is assist to determine if the selected theory is works and useful or not in nursing practice (McEwen & Wills, 2014). Also, to assess the applicability of the theory to the nursing education and practice and research. There are a big different between grand theories and middle range theories.
All of a sudden my lungs began to tighten and my legs started to shake. I stop to catch my breath but couldn’t; at that moment I knew I was having an asthma attack. This event happened on a warm sunny day in 6th grade, at Pronghorn elementary school. On that day I learned many lessons, but none as important as what my body’s limitations are.
