Teething

Topic: Parent teaching on Teething in infant A critical component of pediatric nursing is teaching parents how to care for their child, particularly during an illness or after a procedure.  To develop this skill, the student will complete a parent teaching project.  Students will be assigned a topic and developmental stage upon which to focus.  With that information, the student will need to determine what health education (AKA parent/patient teaching) needs to be conducted prior to this virtual patient being discharged.  The students will then role-play the teaching session, using a student chosen by the instructor as the “parent” and with the rest of the clinical group observing.  The project must include: The critical components of home care for the assigned topic Developmentally appropriate instruction- The teaching reflects the developmental level of the parent and patient.       (e.g., home care instructions for an infant should include the food appropriate for an infant rather than a school-aged child). A      written handout that summarizes the “take-home” points for the parent to keep as a reference after the teaching session.A      bibliography containing no fewer than three professional journal articles with one being a pediatric-specific article.  The articles must be less than five years old.  Use of APA format for references is expected.   A      clear, creative, logical progression geared to a learner at an 8th-grade level For more information on Teething read this:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teething
