Main Discussion.  Examination is the most standard method for assessing a student’s learning. Online examinations are developed two ways. First, it can be created in a Microsoft Word document and uploaded to the course or secondly, the test questions can be generated within a learning management system (LMS) using the provided means (Bristol, 2011). The challenge in writing multiple choice questions is creating a reasonable measure of the learner’s knowledge while not providing clues within a question as opposed to its content. The use of deception as the way to increase difficulty should be avoided. One thing about multiple-choice questions is that the answer is present for the learners to decipher. (Dickinson, 2019). The lesson plan that I used to create multiple choice questions covers the different colors that are used to identify IV catheter gauges and the contents of an IV start pack.  I have never created multiple choice questions for a test or used the technology needed to do so. It was difficult at first to create queries that covered the objectives at the same time and not to include the answer to the question within the question. I also had to make a conscious effort not the put the correct answer to the questions in the C or D position. Another challenge was finding a website that I was comfortable with using and one that I could easily navigate to create my multiple-choice test. Survey monkey is a free online survey that has the capability for quizzes. The survey tool is used frequently on my job to poll employees on current issues.

Screencast Title:

Intravenous needle catheter selection and IV therapy guidelines

Environment:

(on-site, online, or hybrid)

This lesson is intended for the hybrid environment. Student nurses and novice nurses will watch this screencast before engaging in on-site intravenous (IV) needle selection for IV starts

Screencast Goal:

This screencast will increase the awareness on the importance of IV catheter size selection depending on the intended use and/or patient population and IV therapy guidelines.

Description of Screencast lesson:

This screen cast is directed toward nursing students and novice nurses. The different sizes of IV catheters based on color and the supplies needed will be reviewed. The participants will participate by watching a short video immediately after screencast on IV catheters and therapy guidelines, answer 10 questions at the end of the lesson, print certificate of completion and bring certificate to skill lab for competency checkoff.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this lesson students and nurses will be able to

• Identify the different sizes of IV catheters based on color
• Verbalize uses for different catheter sizes
• Identify supplies needed for IV starts
• Document appropriately
• Demonstrate at least 80% competency on post test on IV catheter sizes, usage, and therapy guidelines
• Demonstrate an IV start in an on-site skills lab

          _____18-Gauge                        green

     2. What two gauges of IV catheters are commonly used during           

    for rapid fluid administration?

1. 24 gauge and 22 gauge
2. 18 gauge and 20 gauge
3. 20 gauge and 24 gauge
4. 22 gauge and 20 gauge

           3. Select the appropriate list of supplies found in an IV start Kit.

               A. extension set, tape, and 20-gauge catheter

Rationale:

Rationale:

It is important to understand the evidence behind the appropriate size selection of IV catheters to decrease the number of IV infiltrations.

When initiating an IV therapy nursing staff must asses the patient appropriately, the intended use of the IV, select the appropriate size of the IV catheter, and document appropriately.

Nursing staff must prioritize  care to include assessing the IV site or sites for redness and/or swelling

Evaluate and Revise

If I were to recreate my Screencast, I would: 

First, I would make sure that the slides correspond with the lesson as it is discussed. I would include a slide for the 14-gauge catheter, 16- gauge catheter, and the supplies inside the IV start kit. The slide for the IV catheters would include the front of the packaging along with the backside of the packaging. The time of the screencast would not exceed five minutes.

  

Leininger’s theory or the Culture Care theory, involves knowing and understanding cultural differences in the area of Nursing care practice. Her theory emphasizes that different cultures requires different but effective care. This knowledge provides culturally specific meanings and expression in relation to care and health. Without this theory an array of ineffective care can easily be presented. 

For example; A patient’s diet can be of great significance in their care. Not having thoroughly thought out culturally appropriate meals prepared for the sick can ultimately change the trajectory of how effective an outcome will be. Culturally competent nursing care helps ensure patient satisfaction an positive outcomes. 

  

Every race or culture may perceive or demonstrate the effect of pain differently. She developed a theory and research method designed to guide nurses to (a) understand cultural similarities and differences in how people care for themselves and others during health, illness, disability, dying, and death, and (b) provide culturally congruent, competent, and sensitive care. Wehbe-Alamah, Hilba B) Leininger’s Culture Care Diversity and Universality Theory: Classic and New Contributions. As written in The Parents’ Cultural Care Towards Promoting Child Development; A quantitative approach that was carried out with parents of children below five years old, who were registered in a healthcare service from Picos city, Piaui State, Brazil. 

Nurses are expected to explore even more the probable performance according to each child’s age and considering the child development stage, moreover, respecting the cultural care provided by their parents.  

  

The conception model was designed to guide Nursing practice therefore, Without understanding one’s culture, the risks of inadequate care arises. Conceptual modes are important in guiding the development of the discipline of nursing. Studies continue to show that patient satisfaction scores especially in the Hospital environment grossly increases when close attention and consideration is give to the Patient’s culture an their ways of life.

Leiniger’s model provides three action modes nurses can use to help bridge care and provide care to someone with respect to their individual beliefs, cultural background, and values. 

These modes are all used today in a variety of clinical settings.

This paper compares and contrasts two leadership theories: transformational and authentic leadership. In addition to this, the paper takes a look at the strengths and weaknesses of each of these two theories in relation to the nursing profession. To begin with, Sfantou et al. (2017) note in their article that the leadership style that is pursued by the leader is highly important, since it determines the nature of the relationship between an individual who is at the top of the organization (or heads the team) and his/her subordinates/followers. When it comes to transformational leaders, they are able to create strong relationships among team members, as well as motivation in the team (in general). Also, transformational leaders are known for improving worker commitment to goal attainment, as well as boosting overall performance on the institutional level (Asif et al., 2019).

What about authentic leaders? They align values with actions and are known for building transparent relationships with their followers (Carvalho et al., 2016). Also, authentic leaders create an environment where everybody feels respected and appreciated for his/her contribution, no matter how small or big (Nelson et al., 2014). If the two leadership styles were compared and the “best” one was chosen for addressing nursing issues, I would point to authentic leadership. Establishing trustful relationships is one of the pillars of a well-functioning nursing team. An authentic leader knows how to do this. Transformational leaders, on the other hand, are really result-oriented. However, in a nursing environment this can actually hinder the working process. For nurses, it is important to be transparent, trustful of their leader, and empathic. In my opinion, authentic leaders help to foster these qualities in their followers to a great extent. While both leadership styles are worthy of consideration, authentic leadership is the “better” version of the two.
