Try demonstrating the WRONG way of doing things then do them the correct way. Set it up in the lab. Make it fun.

Well,just to contradict Jeff,we were taught never to demonstrate the wrong way to do something because you always get someone,maybe not paying proper attention,who will pick up the wrong way and use it.My :twocents:

Whenever teaching a clinical skill I tend to break it down into stages.

I start with a demonstration the the full skill without commentry at full speed, then I break it down and take a section at a time adding comments into the skill doing it more slowely.

Once the commentry stage is done I invite the other students to demonstrate and assist each other by providing commentry and suggestions in smaller groups.

It is interactive and I find it works very well.

The sesion I did on hand washing I got the class to clap thier hands when they felt handwashing was appropriate

If its in the lab, students get to practice it the right way after they learn what can happen if they do it the wrong way. Students can't do it at all in clinical without demonstrating it correctly in front of the instructor in the lab. I've set up many examples in the lab for students and emphasized purposeful mistakes to see if anyone was paying attention. Did the OP have the class read the chapter in the book describing the correct way of doing the procedure? If so, many of them could pick up a mistake.

I showed a film from a reputable publisher one time that had a blatant mistake on it and some of my fundamentals (Nursing I) students caught it. It took very keen powers of observation to catch it. I was very proud of them.

Thank you very much for the ideas. I like the idea of presenting it doing it in the wrong manner and then explaining the correct way and talking about what was wrong with the first presentation.
