Introduction: MC is a 23yo who is one day postpartum. She delivered a 7lb 5oz female vaginally 2 hours after an uneventful labor. This is her second child with her first being born 2 years ago. While performing morning rounds MC seemed very nervous while answering my questions. I asked her if there was anything specific that was bothering her. She stated that she was nervous about going home. I asked her if this was related to caring for her newborn or something else. She hesitated and then said it was to do with PC her husband. I encouraged her to be open with her concerns and assured her there would be no judgment or criticism with all concerns being valid and important to address. We engaged in some small talk but eventually came to her main concern related to having sex with PC when she gets home. She stated that after arriving home with her first child PC pressured her to have sex and it was extremely painful. She never discussed this with him but states she allowed this out of feeling guilty that she had "deprived him for so long." Learning Needs of Family: After our discussion it was apparent that MC was very stressed about possibly being pressured to …show more content…
Wagner, Bear, & Davidson (2011) validated the applicability of this model within the realm of post partum education. Wagner et al. (2011) proposed that when the implemented teaching plan acknowledges the uniqueness of the patient there is a better outcome. The individuals being educated must be given decisional control over the specific topics to be discussed which in turn increases their self-efficacy, self-determination, and motivation to participate in the learning process. MC and PC were both given the opportunity to discuss what was most pertinent to them and they both agreed that their sexual health was paramount at this

Together with the patient care, patient teaching is also important to increase patient satisfaction, ensure continuity of care, promote patient’s compliance to the treatment and care plan. Nurses have responsibilities to assess patients’ educational needs to design an appropriate plan and interventions. Overcoming the existing obstacles in teaching and patient’s learning ability will bring about the success of a patient education. The application of cognitive and humanistic learning theories will help health care professionals in general, or nurses in particularly to reach the predefined goals of the teaching process.

...o find a balance between interventional and non-interventional birth. With this being said, I also understand that there are strict policies and protocols set in place, which I must abide to as a healthcare provider, in any birth setting. Unfortunately, these guidelines can be abused. Christiane Northrup, MD, a well recognized and respected obstetrician-gynecologist has gone as far as to tell her own daughters that they should not give birth in a hospital setting, with the safest place being home (Block, 2007, p. xxiii). Although I am not entirely against hospital births, I am a firm believe that normal, healthy pregnancies should be fully permissible to all midwives. However, high-risk pregnancies and births must remain the responsibility of skilled obstetricians. My heart’s desire is to do what is ultimately in the best interest of the mother, and her unborn child.

Teachers, students, politicians and many more groups of individuals were opposed of the abstinence-only-until-marriage education; however, promoted an alternative form of education. An education that had medically accurate information such as birth control, pregnancy and acknowledges that there are different types of sexual relationship. For example, Cara Kulwicki the author of Real Sex Education said, “For me, real sex education is something more. I believe that it requires actually teaching about sex. Real sex education requires, in addition to teaching about protection, teaching sex as a normal and healthy part of life that is varied in terms of both preferred partners and preferred acts. Real sex education teaches that sex is more than heterosexual intercourse and should be consensual and pleasurable for all participants” (Kulwicki, 305). Just like many people today, Cara's goals and motivation are to reform sex education so that it becomes comprehensive sex
Teaching is part of being a nurse (Angelo, 2015). Being a nurse does not only end at providing full care to the patients but also includes proper teaching about the patients’ disease and medications. Patient’s education should happen when opportunities come, especially before discharge. By teaching them prior to discharge and providing them hand-outs, pamphlets or websites to find important information about their disease and medication, they will be ready to administer their own medications and be informed about their disease. Good personality is also vital in nursing practice (Angelo, 2015). It is not only what a nurse has learned in school or the skills and knowledge that he or she acquired from clinical instructors that are important, but also the whole make-up of a nurse’s own self. For example, a knowledgeable nurse is fully equipped with the skills in dressing a wound, but will never be an effective nurse if he or she does not know how to behave while performing the skill. The facial expressions and body language showing that a nurse is uncomfortable seeing the wound makes him or her unsuitable for the job. It is important that a nurse must not only limit his or her learning inside the skills lab or hospital (Angelo, 2015). Joining associations, programs, community services, and volunteering opportunities can expand nurses’ knowledge, skills, and abilities. The tone of voice must
Successful sex education programs have several high points. The high points include exercises to encourage the appraisals of values, and skills in which students are taught how to negotiate while in sexual situations (" What type" )
Upon further research, it came to my attention that only 24 of the 50 states require sex education. Sex has always been a touchy subject for man to discuses, especially in an educational environment. Due to my lack of knowledge of the subject, talking about sex makes me feel vulnerable, although I know it shouldn’t. Thankfully, I have gained a new appreciation to the educational element involved with sex, through this course and the Roger hock text
Any learning that occurs should focus on treatments, tests, and minimizing pain and discomfort as they improve they can shift their focus of learning (Kitchie, 2014, p.127). I will continue to provide a meeting location that is both comfortable and private. In the emotional aspect of M.M. and her family I will try to identify moments when members feel emotionally supported as it sets the stage for a teachable moment (Miller & Nigolian, 2011, p.56). I will also discuss with each member their previous coping strategies that used that have been successful and to encourage them to find a way to build on and strengthen these qualities. Using teaching methods that are interactive and allow patients equal contributions and participation can help promote health compliance (Habel, 2005,
Nurse Educators may have the opportunity to choose their setting, however, more often the setting is dictated by their institutions. Instructional methods and materials can include vast varieties. These will be dependent on the setting, the individual learner, the institution, resources available to the educator, topic being presented, and the Educator. Bastable (2014), provides an expansive list of some of the more common instructional methods: lecture, group discussion. one-to-one instruction, demonstration, return demonstration, gaming, simulation, role playing, role modeling, and self-instruction. It is beneficial to note that all of these instructional methods come with both advantages and limitations which educators should take into consideration. Once the instructional method is determined the instructional materials will need to be considered. Examples of instructional materials include pamphlets, books, audiotapes, CDs, videotapes, DVDs, worksheets, video learning, and more (Bastable, 2014). As previously discussed for instructional methods, instructional materials also come with their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, both instructional methods and materials should be evaluated. Lastly, evaluations can be both formative and/or summative and are essential in the evaluation of the students
Whereas, the Sexual Education program promotes safe sex and knowledge of the sex and it’s consequences. The motto would be, “Knowledge is Power.” As a result of this program has decreased the rate of unplanned pregnancy and sexual disease outbreak. This is why it is argued that Sexual Education should be taught in the public school system.
