Re:Topic 2 DQ 2
Various methods can be used to
approach education to different patients and it can start by being tailor made
to each individual patient. Some students prefer the instructor use a
delegator, or group style of teaching which includes feedback, debate and
creative writing (unknown, 2008). Some patients may prefer
that style but find it overwhelming, while others may find it discouraging and
non- helpful.
Knowing the audience style is
imperative before beginning the first phase of teaching, if the patient has knowledge of his/her disease
process, the nurse can find out first what the patient knows or understands
about the disease, have the patient demonstrate return demonstration. Several
different principals can be used to teach patients. Effective teaching
involves acquiring relevant knowledge about students and using that knowledge
to inform our course design and classroom teaching. I think by stating in the
simplest form nurses can educate their patients. Nurses can place aside biases,
judgments to render care to their
patients.
An example I can think of is when I give car to a patient who comes in frequently
with ETOH. The patient appears to have a learning deficit, I repeat the same
instructions to the patient, with care
and compassion, so now when he comes in he’s still ETOH, but he knows I have
compassion for him and am non - judgemental
