Teaching Plan
Objective: Understanding Nursing Interventions for ACS
Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin by discussing the importance of nursing interventions in the
management of ACS.
Explain that as nurses, they act as guardian angels, providing care and
support to patients in their journey toward recovery and preventing further
complications.
Lecture (10 minutes)
Provide a brief overview of abdominal compartment syndrome, its causes, and
potential complications.
Discuss the key nursing interventions for ACS, including monitoring vital signs,
assessing pain, implementing measures to reduce intra-abdominal pressure,
and providing psychosocial support to patients.
Analogies (10 minutes)
Use analogies to reinforce the concept of being a guardian angel and provide
care and support to patients with ACS.
For example, explain that just as a guardian angel protects and guides
someone on their journey, nurses play a vital role in guiding and supporting
patients through their ACS recovery process.
Discussion (10 minutes)
Engage the students in a discussion about their understanding of the nursing
interventions for ACS and how they relate to being a guardian angel.
Encourage students to share their thoughts and experiences related to
providing care and support to patients.
Activity: Role-playing (15 minutes)
Divide the students into small groups.
Assign each group a specific role, such as a nurse, physician, or patient.
Provide them with a scenario related to abdominal compartment syndrome
and ask them to perform a role-play demonstrating effective nursing
interventions and collaboration with the healthcare team.
After the role-play, allow time for each group to discuss and reflect on their
experience.
Homework: Interview and Case Study (30 minutes)
Instruct the students to interview a healthcare professional, such as a nurse
or surgeon, who has experience managing abdominal compartment syndrome.
The interview should focus on a successful nursing intervention or
collaboration with the healthcare team.
Based on the interview, have the students create a case study highlighting the
specific nursing intervention or collaboration and its positive impact on
patient outcomes.
Ask the students to submit their case studies for review and discussion during
the next class.
Evaluation
The students' engagement and participation during the discussion and role-
playing activities will indicate their understanding and application of nursing
interventions for ACS.
The quality and depth of their case studies will demonstrate their ability to
connect theoretical knowledge with real-life scenarios and apply nursing
interventions effectively.
