nursing care plan

Published

I'm a student and i have an assignment to make a nursing teaching plan. This is my fist time making one so i'm have some difficulty. The senario is sarh is a 75 year old woman who is recently fell and fractured the head of her left femur. She is day 7 post-op from her total Hip procedure and to date has been bed ridden. Sarah tells you she feels wear and is afraid of falling agian. create a teaching plan for sarah. I need 3 objectives, content outline, Method of Instruction, Resourses, And method of Evaluation.

Moved to the general student discussion forum

We have several threads on care plans so may be worth doing a search for them (hint one is a sticky and can easily be found near the top of the threads in this forum)

a written teaching plan goes something like this:

  1. overview: a synopsis about what is going to be taught in the course
  2. goal(s): the aim(s) or outcome(s) that you want your learner to achieve as a result of the lesson you plan
  3. objectives: the more specific information that the learner will come away from the course knowing that will achieve the goal(s) you have determined.
  4. content: a play-by-play of the specific content that is going to be taught and in the sequence it will happen. your content should address and cover all the objectives. this part of the written lesson plan is presented in an outline format.
  5. procedures and materials: how all the above will be achieved, i.e. lecture, demonstration, discussion, etc. materials that can be used and resources that can be needed for the lesson to be successful and essential to teaching your lesson plan are listed and may include demonstrations, audio-visuals, handouts, experiments, stories, game playing and any number of other creative items.
  6. evaluation: determining if you met the goals of the teaching plan. this can be done through a return demonstration, short post test, short question and return answer session with the client to verify they understand the information correctly or a task the participant needs to perform.

if you look at it, it has some of the elements of a care plan (goals, interventions, execution and evaluation). what is different is that you actually lay out how a list of how you are going to do the teaching, kind of like a nursing procedure is laid out step-by-step for you.
