What is one of the characteristics of adult learners?
Draw on a variety of life experiences in the educational process.
The nursing student is teaching a client with a colostomy about irrigation of the stoma. The type of learning domain the student would use to teach the client is?
Choice B is correct. Rationale: Teaching a client how to irrigate his ostomy involves manipulating and practicing a new skill. Cognitive skills would be more about how and why the stoma functions. Affective learning would explore how the client feels about having the device and how it affects his lifestyle. Communication is not a learning domain.
What is the PEP used for?
you are given the opportunity to apply knowledge gained from these preceding chapters to yourself, assess prior knowledge and experience, and design a personal education plan (PEP) specific to your individual needs. You will assess your preparedness for the student role, examine your learning style, and reflect on the unique characteristics and needs you bring to the ADN program.
What is the following called? Teachers do less learning tasks, Teachers do less telling; students do more discovery, Teachers do more design work, Teachers do more modeling, Teachers do more to get students to learn from and with each other, Teachers work to create climates for learning.
7. Teachers do more with feedback.

Bloom Taxonomy of Educational Objectives to differentiate the various types of thinking
A pathway other than formal education (eg, military or other service experience), moving into the college student role may feel awkward and uncomfortable. What is it called?
RE-ENTRY PROCESS
What is the meaning of this content? How does it relate to last week’s learning? How does it relate to prior content or courses? How would I explain this to someone else? How would I apply this in practice? How would this apply to clients of different ages, the opposite gender, different cultures, or those who are disabled? What are opposing viewpoints to this content?
Cognitive Domain
A nursing student is studying the NCLEX-RN Test Plan. This Test Plan includes which of the following main content categories?
a. Caring, b. Nursing process, c. Teaching/learning, d. Safe, effective care environment, e. Health promotion and maintenance, f. Psychosocial integrity, g. Physiological integrity
National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is responsible for?
B. test plans
What is the term that described the nursing process as a systematic method that progresses through five phases: assessment, analysis and nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Nursing Process
Feeling prepared to enter (or re-enter) the school setting develops self-confidence and comfort in the student role. “Knowing the ropes” or knowing where to find things on campus and how to function within the processes and systems of the school can assist you in this process. Chapters 1 and 5 described today’s educational environment and examined strategies for success in the student role in this setting.
THE SCHOOL SETTING
How would I feel if I or a family member was experiencing this disorder, dysfunction, or difficulty? How would I react if this were happening to someone close to me? How do I value this type of response or behavior? How might someone experience this whose age, gender, cultural background, or sexual orientation was different than mine? What values or beliefs underlie this patient’s or nurse’s comments? What ethical dilemmas might arise in this situation, and how would I confront them? This is a good opportunity to also develop an awareness of your emotional intelligence and strive to enhance it.
Affective Domain
What are the categories of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives?
Knowledge/remembering, comprehension/understanding, application/applying, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation
The nursing student is teaching a client with a colostomy about irrigation of the stoma. The type of learning domain the student would use to teach the client is
a. Cognitive. b. Psychomotor. c. Affective.
d. Communicative.
Choice B is correct. Rationale: Teaching a client how to irrigate his ostomy involves manipulating and practicing a new skill. Cognitive skills would be more about how and why the stoma functions. Affective learning would explore how the client feels about having the device and how it affects his lifestyle. Communication is not a learning domain.
What are the principles underlying this procedure (aseptic techniques, ethical considerations, protection of privacy, body mechanics, energy conservation, resource conservation, and therapeutic effect)? How else could this be performed while maintaining these principles? How would I teach this to a client? How could this procedure be performed on a patient in traction or with mobility limitations? How could this be done in a home environment? What verbal and nonverbal communication is occurring? What shortcuts can I take to save time or supplies while still maintaining the principles involved?
Psychomotor Domain
What term defines a student that seeks experiences to add knowledge, skills, and abilities to her or his expertise, as opposed to just waiting to see what is assigned.
proactive learner
Professional nurses are lifelong learners, which means developing the skill to be proactive in the process is critical for professional nursing practice.
The LPN/LVN-to-RN student nurse is assigned to a client in an ambulatory surgical setting. The LPN in this setting is held to the legal accountability of a:
a. Layman. b. Student. c. LPN/LVN.
d. RN.
Choice D is correct. Rationale: Because the LPN is a student studying to be an RN, she or he is held to the level of an RN.

(p. 68)
Personal and professional Development
When you are completing a weekly time map that includes these goals for the week, and scheduling time for each, your time management will be focused on your highest priorities and all roles will receive the attention they deserve.
Time Management
Other activities can then be scheduled around these high priority items so that the most important, rather than just the daily urgent tasks, are accomplished. It also avoids the sense nursing students sometimes feel that they are “working in a crisis mode all the time.”
