Curriculum Development Project Assignment Paper

  1. Use the course topic you selected from Discussion #3 and create an eight-week course for an undergraduate (BSN) nursing program.

The 4 topics I intend to address within the Med-surg/curriculum are patient restraints, clotting disorders, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and complication prevention. Curriculum Development Project Assignment Paper

  1. Develop a syllabus for the 8-week course. See syllabus template from the module.
  2. Create a course calendar (example on p. 362). The 4-5 topics/concepts you listed in Discussion #4 will need to be reflected on the course calendar. Also, use the 4 goals/outcomes to develop opportunities for learning when creating 2 assignments and 2 discussion board assignments. These should be reflected on the course calendar and described in the syllabus.

The following is my post from discussion #4:

Topics Chosen

Medical surgical nurses, also known as med-surg nurses provide care for acutely ill patients and those recovering from surgeries. They focus on a myriad of topics, given the broad specialty of the course. Specifically, the 4 topics I intend to address within the Med-surg/curriculum are patient restraints, clotting disorders, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and complication prevention. Curriculum Development Project Assignment Paper

Restraints or not?

Consequently, I intend to achieve the following outcomes from the four topics. On patient restraint concept, I aim to determine the best restraint methods that are non-provocative, effective, and efficient for a particular activity. Although restraints are offered as last resort options to patients, they keep a patient in proper position during surgery and prevent them from harming themselves and others. For patients on the floor, restraints are used, least invasive first, to pevent patients from harming themselves or others as well as to prevent patients from impeding in providing care, such as pulling lines. As such, the restraint order should only be applied after the senior and experienced med surge nurse actively assesses, implements, and evaluates the selected emergency measure (Wang et al., 2021)Curriculum Development Project Assignment Paper.

Clotting Disorders

Regarding clotting disorders, my aim is to identify the best prevention and treatment method for hyper-coagulation. Such is possible by examining the causes of blood clotting disorders and formulating best prevention practices. Although one can’t prevent genetic blood clotting disorder, a person can reduce their acquired risk factors by adopting effective practices such as quitting smoking and being physically active.

UTI

            Regarding UTI treatment, the goal is to reduce the likelihood of renal damage and eradicate infection and urosepsis. This will be possible by acknowledging the importance of prophylaxis therapy and extensively studying its contexts (Byrnes, 2021)Curriculum Development Project Assignment Paper. As such, students will likely understand when and how to administer the therapy.

Preventing Complications

Lastly, my goal on complication prevention is to recognize, manage, and prevent postoperative complications. As such, we will focus and examine basic nursing care principles such as proper handwashing, hydration, and early ambulation to prevent complications (Byrnes, 2021).
