Teaching Pack

Hi,

I'm a 3rd year student nurse in Scotland and for my final Diploma essay, have to compile a 1,000 word teaching pack aimed at students and a 2,000 word rationale to accompany it. I've started to download journal articles for my reference list but other than that, am having a really hard time knowing where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction - helpppppppppppp!! Lol

Any help would really be appreciated - thanks.

I might be the only one that does not know this, but what is a "teaching pack"?

Lol - a very good point! I suppose that just illustrates the fact that you shouldn't use jargon.

Strictly speaking, it's called a learning resource pack, aimed at teaching either patients or students a particular aspect of care or a clinical skill. In my case, the one I have chosen is pressure area risk assessment aimed at 1st year students.

Pressure area is a huge subject so ,for 3,000 words,keep it simple!

Definition.............causes...........treatment...........prevention.......aids

Causes....external....ie over 2 hours on op table......hard mattresses...lying in one position, shear and friction etc.

internal......patient condition.....underweight, overweight...type of skin etc etc.(check out Waterlow and Norton assessment)

Treatment........wound care etc.

Prevention........regular turning........nutrition etc.

Aids............pressure relieving mattresses......slide sheets ,hoists etc.

You will find plenty on the subject in journals like NT and NS I'm not sure if NT still does "Practical Procedures" but their picture explanations where excellent.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Let us know how you get on with your essay,Linzi.
