Question

Develop a lesson plan on a topic of your choice that would be taught in a prelicensure nursing program (e.g. infection control, oxygenation, or a fundamental skill)​

Answer 1

Infaction control

Controlling the spread of disease and minimizing the number of healthcare-associated infections are primary concerns for any healthcare facility. There are elements in the environment of a healthcare facility that could actually facilitate the development and spread of infectious disease. Everything from the air in the building to the people who work there can be potential carriers of contamination

Due to the invasive nature of many modern medical procedures, the opportunity for unrelated infections to develop in hospitals and other healthcare facilities is high. The number of surgeries performed in recent decades has increased, opening patients up to infections at incision sites. There are also a number of diagnostic instruments and other medical devices used in the treatment of disease. It is more critical than ever for hospitals to ensure that infectious diseases do not spread.

Infection control is a series of steps that healthcare facilities and hospitals take to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. It is estimated that approximately 1.7 million preventable illnesses are spread each year. To prevent further spreading of disease, steps that many facilities take include:

• Ensure hand hygiene compliance
• Track staff contact with assets and patients
• Ensure appropriate environmental conditions for medication, vaccines, and biological material

Hand hygiene compliance monitoring .

technology captures 100% of compliance and non-compliance events without any gaps, providing the best-in-class tracking system for infection control through hand hygiene compliance monitoring.

Benefits of this highly-effective system include:

• Reports that include missed hand hygiene opportunities as well as successful visits to hand hygiene stations
• Battery powered Dispenser Monitors that are easy to install
• Monitors that mount to any canister, dispenser, sink, or pump
• Personal staff reminders that encourage compliance in real-time
• Potential integration with full RTLS or operational as a stand-alone system

• Oxygenation:
• The addition of oxygen to any system, including the human body. Oxygenation may also refer to the process of treating a patient with oxygen, or of combining a medication or other substance with oxygen.
• Hyperbaric oxygenation is an increased amount of oxygen in organs and tissues resulting from the administration of oxygen in a compression chamber at an ambient pressure greater than 1 atmosphere.

Fundamental skills.

• Standard LPN Threads features include helpful characteristics such as full-color design, key terms, numbered objectives, key points, critical thinking questions, critical thinking activities, glossary, and references.
• Easy-to-follow reading level and text organization presents information from simple to most complex.
• Think Critically boxes help you synthesize information and apply concepts beyond the scope of the chapter.
• Cultural Considerations related to biocultural variations as well as health promotion for specific ethnic groups demonstrate how to provide culturally competent care.
• Elder Care Points highlight changes that occur with aging and how they affect nursing care.
• Home Care boxes highlight the necessary adaptations of nursing skills and techniques for the patient in the home care setting.
