Once saline connector is inserted, assess for positive blood return. Place dressing on PIV and writing date, time, and initials. PIV is ready to be used. Media/Technology (if applicable): media (video presentation of me demonstration skill and powerpoint on PIV insertion), provide YouTube video links on proper technique of starting a PIV, and EBP materials on how to start a PIV and its necessities Materials (if applicable): textbook, mannequin’s arm, IV start kit, needles, alcohol, tape, and gauzes 250ml saline bag with red dye (used with the mannequin’s arm to pretend to be the flash of blood when inside the vein) Utilize Media and Materials Learners will prepare for the media by: downloading powerpoint presentation, purchasing correct te.

1. NURS 6331: Lesson Plan Template
Lesson Overview
Name:
Lesson Title:
Insertion of a Peripheral Intravenous Line 101
Environment:
(on-site, online, or hybrid)
This lesson can be taught online, on-site, or hybrid because
learners will have the information needed to complete the lesson
no matter the environment. However, I will prepare this lesson
for on-line students.
Lesson Goal:
After the completion of the lesson, learners will successfully
know how to start a peripheral intravenous (PIV) line and the
importance of the access.
Description of Lesson/ Learning-centered activity:
Learners will learn how to insert a PIV and demonstrate the
skill. I will send a link for a video demonstration on how to
start a PIV. A powerpoint presentation will also be available to
refer to prior to the performing the skill.
ASSURE Model
Analyze Learners
Intended Audience of learners: baccalaureate-nursing students
in their first year of nursing.
Prerequisite skills or knowledge needed: head-to-toe
assessment, proper handwashing technique, how to assess and
palpate veins, and items needed for PIV

2. Learner Motivation: Learner needs to know this information so
patients will have some form of IV access, especially in
emergency situations.
State Objectives
The learner will: be able to demonstrate how to properly insert
an intravenous needle to start a PIV.
Learners will analyze the importance of having a PIV.
Learners will verbalize the items needed to start a PIV.
Select Methods, Media, and Materials
Teaching method: Active learning and discussions will be used
during this lesson. Since the students have reviewed the
anatomy of the human body, I will prepare them for the lesson.
I would instruct them to:
· Wash hands prior to initiating contact with patient.
· Always ask what the PIV will be used for, assess body site
(never place a PIV on the same arm as a dialysis access or on
the same side where one has had a mastectomy), apply
tourniquet, once vein is found, clean for 30seconds and allow to
dry for 1minute, flush saline connector, stabilize vein, insert
needle, watch flashback chamber for blood, use index finger to
thread catheter, retract needle, insert saline connector, and flush
PIV with saline. Once saline connector is inserted, assess for
positive blood return. Place dressing on PIV and writing date,
time, and initials. PIV is ready to be used.
Media/Technology (if applicable): media (video presentation of
me demonstration skill and powerpoint on PIV insertion),
provide YouTube video links on proper technique of starting a
PIV, and EBP materials on how to start a PIV and its necessities

3. Materials (if applicable): textbook, mannequin’s arm, IV start
kit, needles, alcohol, tape, and gauzes
250ml saline bag with red dye (used with the mannequin’s arm
to pretend to be the flash of blood when inside the vein)
Utilize Media and Materials
Learners will prepare for the media by: downloading powerpoint
presentation, purchasing correct textbooks, and accessing video
presentation on how to start a PIV
Require Learner Participation
Learners will participate/engage with the activity by: The
teaching strategies will include active learning and group work.
Learners will demonstrate skills learned from lesson. Students
can be divided into groups to assist each other with PIV
insertions. By Day 7, students will submit a video of them
successful starting a PIV using a checklist as part of the
evaluation. There could also be a discussion post over PIV and
its importance. Students must respond to colleagues. Students
must research EBP material on PIV and site it in their
discussion post. Lastly, students will complete case studies
over PIV insertion and items used during demonstration.
Evaluate and Revise
Noteworthy comments from colleagues/Instructor revised into
final Lesson Plan:
· wash hands prior to putting on gloves
· explain appropriate site locations; example: do not place a PIV
on the same arm as a dialysis fistula or the same side of a
mastectomy without a physician’s order
· develop case studies and visual learning activities that are
effective for helping the student remember the lesson
Other information the students recommended included me
speaking slower, putting the camera closer, speaking louder
when my head was down, and summarizing the important points
at the end. Due to time constraints, I was not able to provide a

4. summary of the lesson even though it may have benefit the
students. Handwashing was a great recommendation. It was
performed prior to the recording. I tried to prepare and set up
everything before recording so I would exceed the time limit.
The other suggests were appropriate, and I have added them to
my lesson.

Rationale:
Teamwork and collaboration will keep the learners engaged in
the activity and promote learning. Safely preforming the skill
will minimize harm to self and patient.
Using both teaching and learning will help learners retain the
information and its importance.
Teaching and notes are needed to ensure the learners receive the
knowledge needed to achieve the learning objectives.
