Yes, Toni, it gets to the point without learners focusing on it until it is over.
This is a great tool.....especially since many clinets will often not tell you everything, it is good to be aware of their body language and other non-verbal ques.
Enjoyed all the topics. Believe just about all can be applied to classes.
Kev, I know you will have success with this teaching strategy.
I am still new at teaching and sometimes take for granted that everyone thinks like me. I have to remember that I am the only one in clinic who has any nursing experience so the vacation exercise will be a great resource to help reinforce the importance of observation. Many times in nursing you are doing more than two things at a time in the patient's room and my students tend to focus on only the single task at hand and forget to observe the entire surroundings. I am going to use this tomorrow at my clinical rotation. Thanks
Glad you can use these in orientation!
I like all these topics, I can utilize many of these in the clinical setting especially the first week of orientation. Thanks for all the ideas.
The ability to assess using all the senses is an important skill for students.
I liked it as well. I am always reminding my patient care students how important it is to pay attention to all aspects of the patient and to look for any changes that may occur with speech, skin color, ETC.
I'm glad this is one you like, Heather!
