Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice
Bastable · 6th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice (6th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 14 chapters.
Overview
Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice (6th Edition) is a foundational text for patient-education and nurse-educator coursework, and its 14 chapters across three parts move from teaching perspectives through learner characteristics and into concrete teaching techniques. This study guide is written from scratch to match it chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order Bastable and contributing authors present the material and always know where a topic belongs. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, learning objectives laid out up front, and exam-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with Part One's perspectives — an overview of health-care education, ethical and legal foundations, and learning theories — then move through Part Two's learner characteristics: determinants of learning, developmental stages, motivation and adherence, literacy, cultural attributes, and learners with disabilities or chronic illness. Part Three closes with the practical techniques: writing behavioral objectives and teaching plans, choosing teaching methods and settings, instructional materials, technology, and evaluation. Every chapter is matched to how the 6th Edition organizes the material so your review stays aligned with lecture. As you study you'll practice matching teaching approaches to a specific learner's developmental stage, literacy level, and cultural background, the applied reasoning patient-education courses and certification exams both test, and you'll get comfortable adjusting a single teaching plan for very different learners rather than teaching every patient the same way. Whether you're prepping for a course exam or reviewing this before a nurse-educator certification exam, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole course. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with patient-education and nurse-educator coursework — the practice questions mirror how learner-centered teaching principles are tested on course exams and nurse-educator certification exams.
