NUR 665 Nursing Education Practicum Lesson Plan

NUR-665E Practicum Lesson Plan Template

Please note, this lesson plan will be implemented in the practicum setting. Complete the practicum lesson plan outline below. The lesson plan must be completed using this template.

 

1. Description of the Topic, Practicum Setting, and Learners
2. Topic: Cardiac Drip Titration- only Nitroglycerine, Dobutamine, Cardene, and Amiodarone. A brief discussion on Tikosyn medication will also be included.
3. Practicum setting: Intermediate Medical Unit in an Acute Hospital setting
4. Learners: IMU Nurses

 

2. Lesson Outcomes (Include additional outcomes as needed.)

By the end of this lesson, each learner should be able to:

1. Understand the indications, nursing assessment, and nursing intervention for each drip, including nitroglycerine, Dobutamine, Cardene, and Amiodarone
2. Understand the EBP titration guideline for each drip.
3. Describe the nursing assessment, nursing intervention, and mechanism of action of Tikosyn
4. Interpret the information on the table regarding dosages, effects on heart rate and effects on BP for each of the 4 included drips.

 

3. Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies (Describe the strategies you will use to teach the content and address the diverse learning styles of the students. Include additional strategies as needed.)
4. Feedback: giving feedback is a teaching strategy different from praise. During feedback, the learner is informed about how they performed in a particular task and how they can improve (Ghasemi et al., 2020). Through feedback, learners can understand what they did well, where they are, and what to do to improve. This approach helps in boosting learners’ performance. As an educator, feedback will help me in planning for the next course of teaching based on the learner’s improvement. Learners are also able to reflect on their learning and adopt various activities that will help in improving their performance.
5. Questioning to check for understanding: Asking questions is a form of a teaching strategy that enhances the active participation of learners. Questions can be posed before teaching to assess learners’ prior knowledge and some after teaching a lesson to understand the learner’s comprehension and level of understanding (Ghasemi et al., 2020). While teaching my learners, I will include questions at the end of every learning concept to assess learners’ understanding. A random sampling of learners will ensure that every learner has an equal opportunity to participate in the class activity. I will use simple and well-organized PowerPoint presentations to enhance learners’ understanding.

 

 

4. Content Outline (Outline the content that will be covered in the lesson. Include the timeframe for each activity. Add additional bullet points as needed.)
5. Opening activities:

• Introduction and attracting learner`s attention (3 minutes): I will start the lesson by introducing myself while using a loud and confident voice. I will tell my learners about myself, including my name, education, position, and interests. I will provide my contact for learners to reach me at any time.
• Share learning objectives with learners (5 minutes): I will share the broad and specific learning objectives. I will also include the sources of content. I will also state the standards of engagement and rules in class, including the dos and don`ts.

1. Teaching and learning activities:

• Present content of the lesson (15 minutes): Assess what learners already know about cardiac drip titration, including their previous interactions with different titrations. Inform learners about indication, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions for various cardiac titrations. I will also include the EBP guidelines for different titrations.
• Eliciting Performance (15 minutes): I will demonstrate how different cardiac drips are provided and then divide learners to perform role-playing. Case studies will guide the roles played by every group who will write down their responses.

1. Closing activities:

• Give feedback and allow questions (5 minutes): I will assess the answers provided and give feedback to learners. I will also allow learners to ask questions in areas they need clarification.
• Give assignments and schedule the next class (5 minutes): At the end of it, I will provide learners with writing assignments on the current lesson and some reading materials to prepare for the next class. The schedule for the next class with learners will follow and mark the end of the presentation.

5. Evaluations (How will the students demonstrate what they have learned?)
6. Formative evaluation(s): formative assessment is a continuous type of assessment happening in class during the lesson or in the course of a unit (Li et al., 2020). These assessments help monitor student progress through ongoing feedback that help student identify their strength and weaknesses. Learners and teachers also identify areas of improvement. I will engage learners during class through questions, give assignments, encourage self-assessment, and provide pop Quizzes to assess learners’ progress and demonstrate what they have learned.
7. Summative evaluation(s): Summative assessments are used to evaluate what learners have achieved at the end of a unit, program, or course (Massey et al., 2022). Summative assessments can take various forms, including projects, exams, experiments, portfolios, and presentations. Summative assessments help teachers to measure learners’ understandings, achievements, and skills at the end of a course. Students can also reflect on their strengths, weakness, and progress through summative assessments. For this topic, learners will demonstrate their understanding by sitting an exam and demonstrating practical skills.

 

6. Instructor satisfaction survey (Briefly describe the outcome of your instructor satisfaction survey and include the survey in Appendix A).

Based on the instructor satisfaction survey, progress in learning was evident. Most students were satisfied with the learning as the content was provided concisely and straightforwardly. Learners grasped most of the knowledge shared and were satisfied with the teaching strategies employed by the teacher. Learners acknowledged the rigorous process the teacher took to prepare adequately for the lesson to deliver precise content. Learners were also impressed that they could easily reach the instructor at any time.

 

7. Learning needs assessment (Include the learning needs assessment in Appendix B).

Student nurses are trained to attain the best knowledge and develop skills that will help them care for patients in the future. They have specific needs and expectations for their learning. Therefore, nurse educators must assess their learners and identify their learning needs to enable them to meet the needs of learners. Understanding learning needs also helps educators to prepare adequately and incorporate the best teaching strategies that enhance learning outcomes and improve learner satisfaction. I always assess my students and conduct learning needs assessments to help me in preparation for my lesson and delivery of teaching to satisfy my learners.
