Lesson Plan: Providing Comfort Care at the End of Life
In this lesson plan, nursing students and nurses are taught both pharmacological and non-pharmacological ways to assist individuals who are at the end of life.
Competencies
The National League of Nursing (2011) suggests competencies for the nurse educator that assist in promoting excellence in their practice. Competencies assist in establishing nursing education as a specialty and help to facilitate a means for faculty to demonstrate the complexity and richness of their role (National League of Nursing, 2011).
Among the competencies the National League of Nursing (2011) recommends is to Facilitate Learner Development and Socialization. This competency is intended not only to facilitate learning but also to assist the student in integrating behaviors and values excepted as nurses.
I intentionally chose a lesson plan I wrote earlier in the semester as I figured it held the most room for improvement. When working with individuals at the end-of-life nurses must exercise skills that they may not be used to using on a day-to-day basis. The emphasis is on compassion, caring and listening. The “doing” that nurses are usually involved with is put on the back burner. The nurse’s calmness and presence is what is most important when a patient is at the end of life.
My lesson plan should be modified to include the objective:
By the end of this video students will have learned how non-pharmacological interventions their presence and attitude may be as effective as non-pharmacological interventions at the end of a patient’s life
In my experience as a Hospice Nurse, it is beneficial to teach nursing staff about comfort care. In an ideal world, Hospice Nurses would be able to go into hospitals and care for patients at the end of their life.
