CRITICAL CARE WK 6

/in /by

 

MY NUMBER ASSIGNED WAS 7 WHICH IS:  Tension hemo/pneumothorax – when does this occur, s/s, treatment, and complication 

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style. 

PART 2:

Take a few minutes and ask 2 people about their personal coping mechanisms for dealing with the stress of working in healthcare during this unique time of Covid. Stress can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or any combination of triggers. Ask a diverse variety of people, don’t forget those in other departs at different points of hierarchy. For example, ask your unit manager, environmental services, volunteers, patients, fellow nurses, etc.  Write 2-3 paragraphs on your findings and impressions while respecting the person’s identity.

Creating the Optimal Clinical Environment

Nurse educators are responsible for both didactic and clinical education. Much thought and planning goes into determining clinical content and clinical placements.  Before you can negotiate clinical partnerships, you must decide on the type of clinical experiences students need and where they can get them.  After completing this week’s reading, and reflecting on your experiences as a student, consider how an educator should go about making these kinds of decisions. 

Initial Post: Use these prompts to think about the topic and share your ideas.

  • How would things like active learning, action and reflection, and higher level thinking influence your decisions about student placement (i.e. where would you place new students vs. senior students and why)?
  • Scheduling students on the same floor for longer periods of time allows students to adjust and feel comfortable in the learning environment.  On the other hand, more frequent changes may provide a greater variety of clinical experiences.  As an educator, how do you choose?  Which do you prefer? Which do you think students prefer? Support your answers with information about best practices.
  • What balance of clinical observation vs. hands on care is optimal and why?
  • Who should have the greater role in guiding and supervising students on a clinical floor, the instructor or staff nurses/preceptors? How might this be negotiated/configured.
