To Prepare:
Select a topic in nursing that can be taught to the three different learner groups: nursing students, nursing staff, and patient/caregivers.
You may use the curriculum design from NURS 6321 as a basis for establishing your topic and lesson, or you may choose a new topic. This topic will be woven throughout the course as you develop a lesson plan, consider ethical issues, explore technology tools, and determine how you will evaluate learning on the topic. The topic you choose will be adapted to each learner group.
Your topic can be an action or intervention—for example, a medication, diet, or lifestyle change—related to nursing care. You can also consider topics not associated with an action or intervention such as lateral violence or end-of-life decision-making.
Describe the nursing topic you have selected and its importance. If applicable, explain how the topic would fit within a course and within a larger curriculum design.
