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.…

After leaning about each concept in Nursing 201 I have become more competent than before about the profession of nursing in areas such as evidence based practice, patient centered care and many other areas. I think after learning about patient centered care and the nurse-patient communication I am better prepared to interact with patients. Some things that I find to be especially helpful are to not ask close-ended questions or anything that will result in a simple yes or no, use general leads, use silence and to paraphrase and reflect what the patient says.…
My name is .... I was born on January 8, 1995 in . I was raise in a single mother household. While my mother worked her butt of to make sure I was well taken care of. My father was absent thru out my life. But I have many father figures in my life. Who gives me the best guidance and always told me to provide for myself don’t depend anyone else. To carry on my own weight as a child to instill it into me. As a child I was always asked what would I like to be when I grow up & I would always say a doctor. Over the years I’ve came to the conclusion that I would be a better Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists than doctor. The thing that made me choosing nursing was my mom. About three years ago she was hospitalized and the nurse was the one that took care of my mother when family was there. They made her stay much better and did everything to make her feel comfortable. But with this degree from Southern I plan attending LSU for my masters. After receiving my master’s degree I plan moving to Texas. I plan to work in a children hospital because they are our future. After about two years of being a CRNA I plan on going back to college to get another degree. I want to be a strong well educated woman that takes care of her self and doesn’t depend on anyone other than God.…
Being a new nurse educator, my teaching philosophy will include the plans and expectations I have for my professional teaching career. I believe that the students should be provided with clearly stated goals for learning. The goals should aim to enhance critical thinking, promote active learning, integrate evidence-based research into nursing practice, and deliver safe, quality, and compassionate care to the patients. As a nurse educator, it is my goal to help students achieve their goals and become successful future nurses. I foresee many challenges that will come in the way of teaching-learning process such as; students’ perception of the educator, language barrier, generational gap, and technological advancements. I will try to overcome these challenges and be successful in the teaching-learning process.…
I believe that implementing strategies to promote, maintain, and restore health is key to the nursing career; the main goal of nursing is to improve an individual’s health. In my clinical experience, it’s to maintain the individual’s health issues or diseases. An example of using teaching/learning principles is when taking a resident’s blood glucose a family member asked me what the normal range for blood glucose is. I explained that a blood glucose level between 70-100mg/dL is desired. Then I went on to explain that based of the resident’s blood glucose levels a certain amount of insulin will be administered. I also taught the family member that insulin is a hormone that helps the cells take in glucose; which results in the cell using glucose as energy and a decrease in blood sugar…
I currently work in a Mother/Baby Labor and Postpartum Unit at a military treatment facility located in Hawaii. The majority of all our patients request an epidural to assist with the pain of childbirth. Since the patients are numb from the waist down, we insert a urinary catheter to monitor output of all patients. The majority of our patients have increased swelling from the vaginal deliver and must keep the urinary catheter in place for additional days. Any of our patients receiving a cesarean section to deliver their baby, usually require hair removal. Due to the lack of funding, we often have to shave our patients instead of using surgical clippers.…

This reflection is based on my observations of the need for of effective communication skills and knowledge of nurses regarding the management of aggression in elderly patients with dementia. Clinician need to be equipped with seclusion, medication and de-escalation skills to be able to manage patient aggressive behaviours safely. I have chosen these particular observations after realising how fundamental they are in implementation aggressive behaviour management strategies in patients. While working in mental health I have observed how effective it is to communicate with a patient as a way of de-escalation during verbal and physical aggression incidents. Ford, Byrt, Dooher, & ebrary (2010) point out that it is imperative for health professionals…
