Write a 2500 word paper answering; During this first drug round which took place in the clinical room of a cardiac ward, the student nurse was able to identify the five R’s which should be checked before administering medication to patients (Nursing and Midwifery Council 2008). However, the student nurse was not able to recognize the cardiac tablets, as well as their indications and interactions. Because of the apparent difficulties manifested in the student’s competency on this particular topic, this author decided that a remedial teaching session should be scheduled to attend to the perceived learning need.
The setting of the teaching session was also in the same clinic room of the cardiac ward of a hospital, conducted from 30 to 45 minutes at night time after the shift. This was the most convenient time for both the mentor and the student. Based on the student’s performance during the past lessons, the student may be classified as an average learner.
As preparation for the teaching session, appropriate teaching strategies and methods were planned. The teaching strategies selected for the session was one-on-one approach and brainstorming. Meanwhile, the teaching methods adopted for the teaching session were independent or self-directed learning, pre-session taught questionnaires to facilitate in the identification of specific learning objectives and experiential/reflective teaching and learning.
As part of independent or self-directed learning, the student nurse was assigned to select two cardiac medications and study their indications and interaction. On the other hand, as part of the experiential/reflective learning, the student was also requested to select two cardiac patients from the ward who are currently on cardiac medication which the student may observe and interact with during teacher-directed learning sessions following the hospital and curricular policies regarding the practical academic exercise. Learning aids used to assist self –directed learning .were given a week before the scheduled teaching session.
