• Can come to either of us for questions
• Variety of classroom activities

• A lot of hands on learning versus straight
  lecture
• It will be different!! But give it a chance and
  let us guide you through the process.
• Reaching all learning styles

Rationale Behind Teaching Methods

• Research has shown that Adult learners prefer
  experiential learning and self directed learning
• What is self directed learning?
• Self-directed learning has been described as "a
  process in which individuals take the initiative,
  with or without the help of others," to diagnose
  their learning needs, formulate learning goals,
  identify resources for learning, select and
  implement learning strategies, and evaluate
  learning outcomes (Knowles 1975).
• According to Knowles, Learning is more
  meaningful and purposeful, with greater
  motivation resulting in longer retention

10

• Lunyk-Child (2001) found that students undergo a
  transformation that begins with negative feelings
  but ends with confidence and skills in
  self-direction and during this transformation it
  is the responsibility of teachers to provide
  student support
• It is our job to teach you how to learn this way
  and to help you along the way. We are here to
  HELP!!

11

• Nurses need to be able to manage and monitor
  their own learning. This means that professional
  nurses engaged in continuous learning should have
  the ability to be self directed. The use of
  problem based learning as an instructional
  methodology in undergraduate nursing curricula
  has been identified as one way to facilitate the
  development of nursing students abilities to
  become self directed in learning (Williams,B.
  2001).

Study Tips

• Different types of questions
• Analyze
• Apply
• Integrate
• Questions will not be recall questions
• Study differently
• Reading is not enough
• Practice applying new information
• Integrate growth and development into scenarios
• Case studies

13
Practice Questions

• The most appropriate nursing intervention when
  caring for an infant with an upper respiratory
  infection an elevated temperature would be to
• Give tepid baths to reduce the fever
• Encourage food intake to maintain caloric needs.
• Have child wear heavy clothing to prevent
  chilling.
• Give small amounts of favorite fluids frequently
  to prevent dehydration.

14

• Although a 14-month old girl recently received a
  shock from an electrical outlet, her parents find
  her about to place a paper clip in another
  outlet. They discuss this with you as they are
  frustrated about how to handle these kind of
  situations. You should advise them that
• Her cognitive level must be delayed.
• This is typical behavior because toddlers are not
  well developed.
• This is typical behavior because at this age,
  there is an inability to transfer past
  experiences to new situations.
• This is not typical behavior because toddlers
  should know better than to repeat an act that
  caused them pain.

15

• A 5-1/2 month-old infant is admitted to the
  hospital with a fever and a history of vomiting
  for 48 hours. In view of this infants responses,
  the assessment by the nurse that would initially
  influence the childs care is
• Inspecting the babys skin for poor turgor
• Determining the babys vital signs and weight
• Checking the babys neurologic status and urinary
  output
• Asking the mother whether the baby is breast- fed
  or bottle-fed
