1. A nurse educator is planning a lesson on infection control
for a group of nursing students. She decides to use a case
study of a patient who contracted a hospital-acquired
infection and how it could have been prevented. What is the
main advantage of using a case study as a teaching strategy
in this situation?
a) It stimulates critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
b) It provides factual information and evidence-based
practice.
c) It enhances motivation and interest in the topic.
d) *It integrates theory and practice in a realistic context.*
Rationale: A case study is a realistic scenario that allows
students to apply their theoretical knowledge to a practical
situation. It helps them to bridge the gap between theory and
practice and to understand the relevance of what they are
learning. A case study also stimulates critical thinking and
problem-solving skills, provides factual information and
evidence-based practice, and enhances motivation and
interest in the topic, but these are not the main advantage of
using a case study as a teaching strategy.
2. A nurse educator is conducting a clinical evaluation for a
nursing student who is performing a wound dressing change
on a patient. The nurse educator observes that the student
does not wash her hands before and after the procedure, does
not wear gloves, and does not dispose of the contaminated
materials properly. How should the nurse educator provide
feedback to the student in this situation?
