In her essay “When the Simulated Patient is for Real,” Taneisha Grant, an internal medicine doctor acknowledges that by a fortuitous encounter, her training as a physician practitioner and as a person did not conclude in a college classroom, instead, that life is a continuous learning experience. After an extensive medical training, Dr. Grant realizes that her daily shifts at the hospital can teach her how to become a better doctor and a better person. She emphasizes when she writes, “...there are times when classroom didactics are not enough” (182). In other words, there is a significant difference between learning and memorizing a set of medical practices, and applying them to real-life situations. For instance, when assisting Mr. G, she…

Communication is essential in nursing, I believe that for the patient to comply with your teaching they should have a full understanding of the concept of what you are implementing. For example, our patients in our clinic comes everyday to…
This method uses patient feedback to repeat what they have been taught so that the nurse can assess the patient’s level of understanding of the material. This method is non-confrontational and does not embarrass the patient if they are not sure of what was taught. This is a very effective way for the nurse to evaluate if their chosen teaching method was successful.…
This will be a collaborative effort with specialist nurses who will guide the students in a tutorial system. There is coherence between the methodologies and CU’s objectives seen as the methodologies are directed to the objectives of the psychomotor scope, which emphasize the manipulation, articulation and non-verbal communication without disregard for the cognitive scope, as these target the development of the knowledge and understanding necessary to plan, execute and evaluate nursing care.…

Addressing the learning needs of patients is a major responsibility for nurses. Through teaching plans, nurses can help patients and their families have a safe experience and prevent possible complications. Each patient needs an individualized and comprehensive teaching plan. Nurses must anticipate goals and barriers, identify the subjects they will teach, the methods they will use to teach, and assess their readiness to learn. In addition, nurses should reflect on the effectiveness of their teaching plan to determine if the desired goal was met. Educating clients can improve their quality of life. According to Berman, Synder, and Frandsen (2016), “the goal is to assist the client to achieve the most optimal health status possible” (p.865).…
Patient education is an important role that student nurses undertake. Nurses contend with multiple factors that affect patients, including shorter length of stays and increased demand on the nurse’s time. These two factors complicate your ability at times to provide quality patient education. Creating a well-designed, comprehensive teaching plan that fits your patient’s unique learning needs reduces health care costs, improves the quality of care, and provides information about the patient’s individualized…
Actually performing the skills on real patients rather than mannequins is a little different. Even practicing on students in class is different from helping the patients in real life because it is more nerve-wracking. The same concept applies to the challenge of taking initiative. I felt more comfortable having another peer work with me the first time on having a resident use the bedpan. After the first time doing a skill, I had a little bit more…
In Teneisha Grant’s essay “When the Simulated Patient is for Real”, the author explains that, through her experience with a difficult patient, she learns that the professional application of medicine goes beyond practical techniques and simulations taught in medical school. This patient (named Mr. G) represented one possible worst-case scenario for medical professionals, for this patient was too irate for doctors to dress his wound safely. Although Grant could have sedated the patient, she instead verbally calmed Mr. G by complying with his needs, and empathizing with his worries. For instance, Grant states that “he also wanted step-by-step instructions about what I was doing. I complied . . . He thanked me quietly and I walked away” (182),…

My Personal Mission Statement includes: To not doubt my ability to provide skills I have successfully completed. When providing care to a mannequin verses a person, it changes my prospective of when in a life or death situation. For example, I have taken many cardiopulmonary resuscitation classes over the years, but until last year when I had to physically give a lady CPR, I did not know how intense it actually was. I preformed the CPR steps based on muscle memory, therefore I believe if I practice my Respiratory therapy skills over and…
Nurses play an integral role in the healthcare system, one of which is that nurses have to play the role of a teacher which enables them to provide and enforce this important aspect of nursing. Being a teacher to patient as…

The biggest genocide known to man is the genocide that happened during World War 2. The slaughter of 6 million jews in counting by ,the leader of the nazis, Hitler.…
