39
learning
-The purposeful acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills through an experience or external stimulus. -Learning is a process of both understanding and applying newly acquired concepts.

41
TJC's Speak Up Tips
SPEAK UP if you have questions or concerns. PAY ATTENTION to the care you get. EDUCATE yourself about your illness. ASK a trusted family member or friend to be your advocate. KNOW which medicines you take and why. USE a health care organization that has been carefully evaluated. PARTICIPATE in all decisions about your treatment.
42
Teaching requires good communication skills:
(1) adequately convey information (2) assess verbal and nonverbal feedback (3) accommodate various learning styles. In patient education, nurses can use teaching, counseling, and behavioral modification together to achieve effective client learning.
43
what are the three domains of learning
cognitive, affective, psychomotor
44
Domains of learning: cognitive
includes all intellectual behaviors and requires thinking -includes memorization, recall, comprehension and analysis, synthesis, application, and evaluation of ideas.
45
Strategies and tools to support teaching cognitive-type content include:
lectures, reading materials, panel discussions, audiovisual materials, programmed instruction, computer-assisted instruction (CAI), and problem-based learning
46
Domains of learning: psychomotor
"hands-on skill"- involves acquiring skills that require integration of mental and muscular activity
47
Strategies and tools used to teach psychomotor skills include:
demonstration and return demonstration, simulation models, audiovisual materials (e.g., DVDs, streaming video), journaling and self-reflection, and printed materials (especially with photographs and illustrations).
48
Domains of learning: affective
deals with expression of feelings and acceptance of attitudes, opinions, or values
49
Strategies and tools for promoting affective learning include:
role modeling, group work, panel discussion, role playing, mentoring, one-to-one counseling and discussion, audiovisual materials (e.g., DVDs, streaming video, interactive computer-based modules, movies), and printed materials.
50
Motivation to learn
Addresses the patients desire or willingness to learn -Determined by the patient's attentional set, readiness to learn, and willingness to participate actively.
51
Ability to learn
Depends on physical and cognitive abilities, developmental level, physical wellness, and though process
52
Learning environment
Allows a person to attend to instruction -The ideal environment must be well lit and must have good ventilation, appropriate furniture, and a proper temperature. -Group teaching differs from one-on-one teaching.
53
Attentional set
The mental state that allows the learner to focus on and comprehend a learning activity.
54
Motivation
Force that acts on or within a person to cause the person to behave in a particular way.
55
Readiness to learn
This is the demonstration of behaviors that indicate the learner is both motivated and able to learn at a specific time.
56
Physical condition (that affect readiness to learn)
o Physical factors (e.g., pain, strength, coordination, energy, senses, mobility) o Emotions: (Severe anxiety, stress, or emotional pain interfere with the ability to learn)
57
timing and readiness to learn
People retain information better when they have an opportunity to use it soon after it is presented. For some concepts, the learner might need more time to be able to absorb and apply information, especially when more complex thinking is required.
58
active involvement and learning
Learning is more meaningful when the client is actively engaged in the planning and the learning activities. Learners retain 10% of what they read, but they retain 90% of what they speak and do
59
feedback and learning
Positive feedback encourages learners and boosts morale when it comes to tackling difficult content or devoting the time and effort needed to get the most out of the educational process.
60
social learning theory
considers the personal characteristics of the learner, behavior patterns, and the environment, and guides the educator in developing effective teaching interventions that result in improved motivation and enhanced learning.
61
Self-efficacy
a concept included in social learning theory, refers to a person's perceived ability to successfully complete a task
62
Self-efficacy beliefs come from four sources:
enactive mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and affective states
63
grieving
the process of grieving gives patients time to adapt psychologically to the emotional and physical implications of their illnesses. -Readiness to learn is related to the stage of grieving.
64
active participation
Implies an eagerness to acquire knowledge -Patients cannot learn when they are unwilling or unable to accept the reality of illness.
65
Repitition
The client is more likely to retain information and incorporate it into his or her life if the content is repeated. Each time the learner hears the information, the likelihood of retention increases.
66
Scheduling of a teaching session
Plan for uninterrupted time to allow you to adequately assess and understand the client. The teaching time does not need to be long, just uninterrupted.
67
Amount and complexity of content
The more complex or detailed the content, the more difficult it is for most people to learn and retain.
68
Teacher/learner communication
Barriers to communication include pain, anxiety, fatigue, illness, hunger, dysfunctional relationships, language differences, vision and hearing impairment, cultural factors, and various environmental issues, such as noise and distraction.
69
Belonging to a special population
The adaptations you make will depend on the nature of the special need, so if you are not familiar with the patient's condition, you must acquire theoretical knowledge of it. -Include a family member, caregiver, or other significant person in the teaching to reinforce the learning and act as a safety net for implementing the information.
70
ability to learn: Developmental stage
An understanding of intellectual development will help you to gear your teaching strategies and content to the level of the learner.
71
ability to learn: culture

74
Older adults learn new information at a slower rate than younger adults due to:
a decline in fluid intelligence, which is defined as the reasoning and processing components of learning. -In addition, an older adult has difficulty processing multiple bits of information at one moment.
75
health literacy
the cognitive and social skills that determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health.
76
who are at geater risk for low helth literacy
The elderly, minorities, immigrants, persons of low income, and people with chronic mental and/or physical health conditions
77

are an economical way to teach a number of patients at one time, and patients are able to interact with one another and learn
78
One-on-one discussion
Nurse shares information directly at patient's bedside, in the physician's office, or in the patient's home
79
Preparatory instruction
consists of providing information about procedures before they occur. It often decreases anxiety because patients have a better idea of what to expect during the procedure
80
demonstration
Use demonstrations when teaching psychomotor skills
81
analogy
supplement verbal instruction with familiar images that make complex information more real and understandable
82
role playing
people are asked to play themselves or someone else. Patients learn required skills and feel more confident in being able to perform them independently. The technique involves rehearsing a desired behavior
83

84
legal resposibility of the nurse is...
