Flipped Classroom Analysis

There are two types of learning that will be addressed, one is teacher-centered and the other is student centered. Teacher-centered education is where the professor is at the head of the classroom and emphasis is on what they are teaching (Concordia University, 2012). In student-centered education there is shared focus, and the student and professor interact (Concordia University, 2012). Which leads us to the flipped classroom. Here is when the material is read at home in one’s comfort. the classroom is then used for discussion and further conversations among classmates (Teach Thought, 2014). The concept of flipping classrooms was introduced in 2007 (Harrington, Bosch, Schools, & Beel-Bates, 2015, p. 179). Flipped classrooms have created

• Flexibility along with added prospects in nurturing critical thinking and how to incorporate them to their daily cares with patients.

• The need for further research in nursing.

• Flipping classroom can have positive effects on reforming nursing education. Using the concept of a flipped classroom, whose focus is student-centered, a plan for a two-hour class will be presented addressing getting better with intravenous (IV) and blood pressure indications. One hour will be allotted per topic.

Getting Better with IV’s A lecture will be posted so that the students can access it on their laptop at home or in the library. Students will also be allowed to use the computers in the classroom, which will be available before class. A few videos will be included for the student to view. Articles will also be included for review. When in class a 30-min discussion and questions will be allotted for the classmates. Last portion of the lecture would be hands on. Practice on mannequins or on your classmate, if they are willing participants. In the medical profession, the need for addressing hand-hashing is imperative

Hand

The best way is to practice hand washing before and after patient contact. Whether a patient is in the emergency room (ER) or admitted to a regular or critical care unit, they will need venous access for administrations of fast acting, IV fluids, and emergency medications. A nurse, physician assistant, or an anesthesiologist will insert the IV. It is kept in place with a sterile, transparent occlusive dressing. A central intravenous line can stay in a longer time, but we will be addressing peripheral IV’s, their indwelling time will be determined according to hospital policy. IV’s can remain in use for 3 days (HPSC, n.d.). Infection and infiltration are also reasons for changing the site of the IV. Signs that will indicate the need for IV to be changed according to HPSC: Site that is red, hot to the touch, accompanied by pain, dressing is wet or loose, and patient having fevers or
