Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse I01:30

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse I

Accountability in nursing is a fundamental principle that underscores the obligation of nurses to take responsibility for their actions and answer for any errors or omissions in patient care. This principle is grounded in the professional, legal, and ethical frameworks that shape nursing practice. For instance, nurses must adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and practice standards, including guidelines set forth by nursing boards and professional bodies, to ensure their actions comply...

Summary

New nursing exam item types require careful time allotment. Educators should adjust timing based on question difficulty and type, especially for early curriculum exams, to accurately assess knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Assessment and Evaluation

Background:

  • Examinations are crucial for evaluating nursing student knowledge.
  • The Next Generation National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NGN NCLEX-RN) introduced new item types in April 2023.
  • Limited data exists on the time required for these novel item types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the time demands of various question types on the NGN NCLEX-RN.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for exam time allocation in nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • Item analysis performed on 772 questions answered by 14,728 nursing students.
  • Evaluation of seven distinct item types: calculation, cloze, matrix, ordered response, hot spot, multiple choice, and multiple response.

Main Results:

  • Calculation questions necessitate more time.
  • Multiple choice questions averaged 1 minute each.
  • Increased question difficulty correlated with longer completion times.
  • Exams early in nursing programs require greater time allocation.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing educators must consider item type and difficulty when determining exam time.
  • Strategic time allotment is essential for accurate knowledge assessment using new NGN NCLEX-RN item types.
