The Advantages of Bedside Teaching
• "Learning is nothing but discovery that something is possible: To teach means to show a person that something is possible"
• Frederick Perls, Gestalt Therapy Verbatim
![Page 3: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside
• One of the tangible benefits of teaching is the chance to stimulate students' critical thinking and also demonstrate these skills.
• Critical thinkers – engage in productive and positive intellectual activities; – view their thinking as a process rather than an outcome; – vary their applications of critical thinking according to
the context of the clinical situation; and – feel comfortable with the emotive as well as rational
elements of the critical thinking process.
– ????TASK VERSUS OUTCOME!

Teaching at the Bedside
• The elements of critical thinking in a clinical context includes: – identifying and challenging
student assumptions; – understanding the importance
of the particular clinical situation to the thinking;
– exploring and imagining alternatives; and
– engaging in reflective skepticism.

Teaching at the Bedside
•Agree on the ground rules
• Ground rules are both practical (punctuality, dress, access to patient records) and philosophical (respect for patients and colleagues, confidentiality, consent, openness to different points of view).
• Make sure that the learner knows how much time you will be able to spend in observing, teaching, and giving
• Clear expectations set for the day
![Page 6: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside
• Ask for her/his thoughts…no matter the situation …before immediately moving into action - that is where the best learning/understanding takes place.
• Dialogue during the course of the busy day to clarify and validate existing knowledge or to gain new insights.
• At the end of the clinical day, take a few minutes to reflect on what happened, why it happened, what you liked about the day and the student's performance as well as what each of you could have done differently to improve the outcomes of the practice.

Teaching at the Bedside
• Challenges of clinical teaching• x Time pressures• x Competing demands—clinical (especially when
needs of patients• and students conflict); administrative; research• x Increasing numbers of students• x Clinical environment not “teaching friendly”
(grabbing private area)• x Rewards and recognition for teachers and
students want the A-OKAY approach!
![Page 8: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside
• Common problems with clinical teaching
• x TOOO much passive observation rather than active participation of learners
• x Inadequate supervision and provision of feedback
• x Little opportunity for reflection and discussion• x “Teaching by humiliation”
– Power over versus power with– Stress a learning together mode
![Page 9: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside • How to use questions• x Restrict use of closed questions to establishing facts
or baseline• knowledge (What? When? How many?)• x Use open or clarifying/probing questions in all other
circumstances• (What are the options? What if?)• x Allow adequate time for students to give a response
—don’t speak• too soon• x Follow a poor answer with another question-ask the
same thing three ways!• x Resist the temptation to answer learners’ questions
—GIVE HOMEWORK AND FOLLOW UP

Teaching at the Bedside
• How to give effective explanations
• x Focus on non-verbal cues to get sense of what they know
• x Give information in “bite size” chunks
• x ask student to summarize their experiences
![Page 11: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside
• FOLLOW….Sir William Osler’s dictum that “it is a safe rule to have no teaching without a patient for a text, and the best teaching is that taught by the patient himself”.
![Page 12: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Teaching at the Bedside
Give feedback•Learners value feedback highly, and valid feedback is based on observation. •Deal with observable behaviors and be practical, timely, and concrete…. And in private.
![Page 13: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Making it Happen: It is all in a Day
• Know your student ….– Attitudes toward aging – Prior aging experience– What can they handle?
![Page 14: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Self-efficacy Approach
• Social cognitive theory…– Self-efficacy– Outcome expectations• Performance• Verbal encouragement• Role modeling• PHYSIOLOGICAL FEEDBACK-angst/sweating/increased
heart rate…fear versus feel good, feel proud
![Page 15: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Determine What they Need
• Carefully consider clinical experience and exposure– What are their clinical strengths and weaknesses• Do they need to learn more about heart murmurs; afib;
gyn problems; infections?
– Match patient to student provider – vice versa• What do they want to learn and how can you excite
them?• Clinically in geriatrics we have it all-things you can’t see
elsewhere
![Page 16: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Set Them Free
• Give the student a list of patients to see, write up and report back– Let them do this alone and TELL them why!• Give them the freedom to make mistakes alone-tell
them this is why you are not supervising them.• Let them know clearly the expectation
– Present the case orally– Write up the note in draft– Let them know you plan to discuss this and when
![Page 18: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nonstop model the behavior
• While it is hard …remember you are constantly being observed by the student and must:– Be on best behavior• Model the kind of care you feel should be provided• Address and acknowledge when you cut corners• Share your own mistakes as you make them
![Page 19: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Even on busy days…model and show what you want them to know
![Page 20: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Model the Joy, Fun, Excitement of Geriatrics • This is not setting
specific it is spirit specific– Greenhouse effect
or not!– Make your
environment one that exudes positive aging
![Page 21: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
At The Bedside
• At the end of your day….review findings with the student– Go back to the patient– Confirm what the note says….is there a murmur
for real? Is there REALLY no edema? Let the student see and feel it.
– Share exciting clinical findings – things they won’t see elsewhere (tumors, murmurs, palpable thyroids, livers etc)
![Page 22: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DO NOT…..at all costs….correct the student in front of the patient.
At all costs…make it a feel good, successful experience
![Page 23: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Become A Novice
• As you model….remember to put on your novice hat– Avoid skipping steps that may be skipped as an
expert or ARTICULATE what they are.– Acknowledge your own shortcuts
![Page 24: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Do NOT Settle
• Note writing– A note is a reflection of the students’
knowledge/NP practice– A note is a reflection of YOU, YOUR program and
YOUR University.– I take a zero tolerance approach…with LOVE• Write, rewrite and rewrite again• NO books, blackberries or Iphones
![Page 25: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Challenge with Love
• Ask and expect– Pharmacology– Lab questions• Expect the answer without books• Repeat the questions on another patient in another
way and on another day• Have the student share their learning with others in
class-via sharing the case or providing the didactic background they have reviewed.• Give homework and check answers
![Page 26: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Review Progress
• If it is one day experience…at the end of the day review progress or lack there of.
• If it is a full semester at mid and semester end review: – Where you were– Where you are– Where you are going– What you need– What you need to do to get there
![Page 27: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Handling the Tears
• Women cry– Nursing students are used to being expert nurses
in all clinical situations.– I start my experiences with them letting them
know I have been practicing as an NP for over 30 years.
– I share with them that I make mistakes every day.……..they still cry if everything isn’t perfect.
![Page 28: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Handling the Tears
• I mostly ignore them….and keep on going – Criticisms with love and support– Acknowledging of course the good and great
before the issues and concerns
![Page 29: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dealing with the Defensive Student
• My biggest challenge– Acknowledge this coping mechanism– Discuss it• MOVE ON TO LEARNING!• GIVE UP
![Page 30: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Like Child Care and Clinical Work
• TAKE A BREAK WHEN YOU KNOW YOU NEED IT– We are human– We get tired– We get cranky– We drink too much coffee– END THE DAY but do not model negative care
behaviors….• Do not dress a patient• Do not get short with a patient or nurse
![Page 31: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Share Gero Opportunities
• Nonstop and throughout the programs plant the seeds of gero opportunities– Subacute– LTC– AL– Specialty work
![Page 32: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
My Three Favorite Sayings….
• If I didn’t care I wouldn’t bother…..• It is what it is ….• You don’t lose anything by giving it away…..
![Page 33: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Along Those Lines
• Make sure to include a combination of– Challenging cases for
learning– Easy successful cases
for confidence building
![Page 34: Geriatric Tricks of the Trade for Teaching at the Bedside Barbara Resnick, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea25503460f94ba6748/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
