METHODS
Presented by: Priyanka Raj (MSC NURSING 1STYEAR)

2. Introduction
 In recent years, nursing education focused on theoretical
education & deep gap between theoretical & clinical
education created.
 Other than theoretical knowledge, imparting healthcare
knowledge within the premises of healthcare facilities such
as hospitals is also required.
 DEFINITION:
 Clinical teaching is an individualized or group teaching to
the nursing student in the clinical area by the nurse
educators, staff and clinical nurse manager.

4. 1. BEDSIDE
CLINIC
 It is a method of clinical teaching which is carried out by either
the group visits the patient or the patient is brought to
the conference room in order to
study problems associated with a particular disease or disorder.
 Disease-centered teaching: This method is used to help
student learn about a specific disease and similar patients are
selected to show the sign and symptoms related to a particular
condition.
 This is a teacher centered method.
 Meant for a small group of students.
 Disadvantage: May be demanding and burdensome to the
patient.

5. 2. Nursing
Rounds
 Nursing rounds is intended to discuss briefly the nursing
management of all patients in the ward by sparing few
minutes for each patient.
 The focus is to understand the NURSING-MANAGEMENT of
multiple patients in a ward.
 The ideal duration of nursing rounds in a ward is 45 minutes
and this time is sufficient to know about 20 to 25 patients.
 Demonstration of nursing care by senior members during
the nursing rounds will help students to develop psychomotor
skills and inculcate proper attitude among them.

6. NursingCare
Conference
 It is same like a bedside clinic but the patient is not usually
present for the class.
 It is a method of teaching which provides an opportunity for
an informal discussion of a problem and free exchange
of knowledge and experience about the common interest
and it consists of a group discussion using problem solving
techniques or nursing process.
 It can provide a good learning experience for all the staff who
share a common nursing problem in providing care to a
specific patient.
 A nursing care conference is designed around a consultation
visit of a clinical nurse specialists.

7. NursingCare
Study
 The student with the help of the clinical instructor selects one of
her patients for intensive study which she finds interesting.
 The student must be given opportunity to take care of the patient
over a long duration of time
 The student tries to solve the problems through the study,
consultation and experimentation and decides the nursing
measures which will meet the patient’s individual needs and solve
nursing problems.

8. Nursing
Assignment
 It is that part of learning experience where students are assigned
with patients or other activities concerning patients in the clinical
laboratory.
 It is though the assignment that the teacher is able to arouse
interest, stimulate right mental promotional attitudes & sets forth
good study habits.
 Students are given facilities to practice nursing according to
previous teachings.

9. Process
Recording
 Process recording is an exact written report of the conversation
between the nurse and the patient during the time they were
together.
 It helps to develop communication and interviewing skill of
students and also establishes therapeutic communication
between student nurse and patient.
 The patient’s identification data, presenting complain, etc are
recorded.
 The written recording is evaluated as a learning experience at the
end feedback is shared.

10.  Learning by doing is the most effective method of teaching. The
laboratory of the nursing students is the clinical field.
 The nursing students get the practical experience and skill
doing procedures by taking care of the patients.
 The nurse manager plays a dual role, she is aware of the
practical problems, and she should use each and every
opportunity to teach the nursing students.
