NUR 646E Topic 1: Nurse Educator Competency 1 – Strategies to Facilitate Learning Example Approach Assignment

Part 1 Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies

Teachers worldwide strive to give their best to their learners by using various teaching strategies that enable them to deliver the content appropriately. Similarly, teaching nursing students requires the implementation of various strategies to make learners understand and later serve the community (Farzi et al., 2018). Among the various teaching strategies, the use of pretesting, show and tell, and productive group work are my favorites. These strategies have pros and cons to be addressed hereafter.

Pretesting is a teaching strategy that teachers use to assess the level of knowledge of learners before teaching them. A teacher uses a set of questions about a topic or a course and administers them to learners who will provide the feedback (Horntvedt et al., 2018). The feedback helps the teacher understand the learners’ needs, understand their misunderstandings, and help the teacher devise an appropriate plan to deliver the contents in a way learners understand. However, teachers should be wary of using identical pretests and post-tests as this can impair students’ creative thinking while limiting students’ input.

Productive group work is a strategy that allows learners to share knowledge with each other and improve learning and understanding (Horntvedt et al., 2018). Learners are allowed to contribute to each other and help to solve difficult tasks. Allowing immediate neighbors to discuss questions in large classes can help achieve group work. However, proper group organization is paramount and close supervision is necessary as some learners may opt to leave the tasks to a selected few, thus impairing learning.

Finally, the show-and-tell model is achieved by efforts from both learners and teachers. Teachers provide explicit verbal instructions and meaningful visuals (Roshni & Rahim, 2020). The explanation dictates what students should understand, while demonstrations acquit learners with skills to demonstrate. This model helps in the retention of knowledge while allowing creativity (Roshni & Rahim, 2020). However, some learners may be slow to grasp the knowledge immediately, affecting their overall performance.

Part 2

            The concept of preceptorship, otherwise nurse educator, is an old practice. Nurse educators are tasked with a lot of responsibilities, among them is to provide a safe environment for students. Nurse educators prepare graduates for the ever-changing, complex healthcare environment by using up-to-date information and building close relationships with learners. Furthermore, they constantly communicate, meet learners, and motivate them to foster a safe environment that encourages learning while bridging the gap between the realism of the workplace and the idealism of academic requirements (Coffey & White, 2019). Grand Canyon University‘s (GCU) mission integrates with the Christian worldview’s values to provide a positive environment that enhances learners` innovation and acquisition of skills and values of being good servant leaders (GCU, 2021). Incorporating faith with compassion and kindness in the teaching curriculum allows learners to be mindful of the needs of others while working with preceptors to prepare for future practices. Furthermore, learners appreciate the value of integrity, which is essential in nursing in the nursing profession.

Because nurses work in a difficult work environment that is often faced with a conflict between choosing civilized and uncivilized behaviors, integrity is paramount in such circumstances. Nurse educators are required to train nurses with integrity and acquire skills to face challenges that may arise in future practice (Coffey & White, 2019). The use of simulated situations when teaching nurses is an integral part of preparing nurses to adopt various skills, including teamwork and communication, that are essential in future practice.

The clinical setting is another environment that requires nurse educators to provide a positive learning experience. Despite the challenges in clinical settings, preceptors can create a memorable learning experience for learners in various ways. Adopting simulation, practicing clinical scenarios, and use of reflective journaling are some of the methods that can be used to facilitate learning. Clinical simulations and practical scenarios allow learners to think critically, reflect on the situation, and make decisions (Izadi et al., 2020). These methods are as effective as interacting with the real clinical situation. Likewise, reflective journaling allows learners to think critically and reason appropriately and allows teachers to understand the thought processes of learners.

NUR-646E_Syllabus

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

• Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

• Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

• APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 7^th edition.

• Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

• LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

• Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

• Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

NUR 631 Assignment: Acid-Base Case Study Essay (1,000-1,250 Words)

Review the “Acid-Base Case Study” resource. Respond to the following questions in an essay of 1,000-1,250
words.

Research and fill in the normal values for the table. Include the table in your essay.

What type of acid-base disturbance is Mr. Davis suffering from and why? What role does excessive alcohol consumption play in the acid-base disturbance seen?

What type of fluid or electrolyte imbalances does Mr. Davis have and why? Calculate the anion gap. Is it high or normal? Why is it high or normal? What information does the anion gap give the provider?

Are Mr. Davis’ respiratory and renal systems attempting to compensate for his acid-base disturbance? If so, how are they compensating and what evidence do you have that they are compensating? Explain the rationale for the low glucose level and high urine ketones. Is the protein level seen in the UA abnormal? Provide a rationale. How do the findings relate to Mr. Davis?

Prepare assignment according to the APA guidelines. An abstract not required, submit assignment to Turnitin.
