CLINICAL TEACHING

3. In recent years, nursing education focused
on theoretical education & clinical
education created. Many nursing
researchers reported that nursing student,
in spite of good knowledge base, weren’t
skillful in clinical setting. In result, with
entrance of these unskillful students to the
system falls day to day. Clinical teaching
of students and continuing education is
vital for professional development.

group teaching to the nursing students
in the clinical area by the nurse
educators, staff nurse and clinical
nurse manager.

then class room teaching

METHODS OF CLINICAL TEACHING

9.  Bedside clinic always help to study
the problem typically associated
with a particular disease or
disorder
 Always ensure the presence of
patient
 Either the group visits the patient
or the patient is brought to the
conference room
BEDSIDE CLINIC

10.  Patient with typical cases rather with
unusual conditions are selected.
During the clinic the patient may be
asked to speak something about the
course of illness , symptoms and
involves the family members and
plan for discharge
 brief history and therapy , nursing
problems are presented along with
the nursing care including physical ,
mental and social components
CONT….

11.  Nursing clinic can be conducted by
the head nurse or the clinical
instructor
 Before the client enters the head
nurse points out the group the
observations which should be made
while he/she is present . When the
patient is no longer no longer needed
is sent back
CONT…

12.  The student nurse is getting an
opportunity to observe, analyze &
make decision in nursing care.
 Remembers the nursing measures for
longer time since directly they
involved.
ADVANTAGES

13.  It is same like a bedside clinic but the patient is
not usually present for the class. This may be a
method of choice when the entire group is
acquainted with the patient.
 Bedside clinic and nursing care conference can
be used to evaluate the students. Both should
be planned earlier if it is to be made more
effective. But the nurse instructor conduct on
the spot if she wishes to evaluate the student.
NURSING CARE CONFERENCE

14.  Nursing rounds is an excursion into patient’s
area involving the student learning
experiences.
 In nursing rounds the patient history and the
medical aspects of his/her care are included
only as a background or understanding the
nursing care, the registered nurse responsible
for the patient should answer question aroused
in the group. Suggestions are made by the
members of the group.
