Module four response

Teaching that is done in my professional role is in the form of psychoeducation. I do a lot of psychoeducation with my clients. By understanding the different kinds of learning styles I can taylor my approach to them in such a way that I can more effectively teach them what they need to know. I do have one client that is aware that she is a kinesthetic learner and I often take her for walks while we do therapy. She opens up so much more when we walk and talk. She also does well with art therapy, or playing with play-doh while we talk. Knowing how they learn and how they think is helpful to customize our teaching for our clients.  

All nursing/health providers have a responsibility to teach those we care for. A large part of nursing is teaching. No matter what we do as nurses or nurse practitioners we will need to be able to do some sort of education to our clients. It may be in the form of psychoeducation, nutritional education, education about healthy lifestyles, or education concerning disease processes.
