Learning theory to be use for the essay is Social Learning Theory by (Albert Bandura).
Kolb’s learning style inventory.
Please this learning event is a suggestion, should you have one you prefer to use please share with me as I am happy to consider. The learning event can be summarized as the essay is aim at focusing on critically analyzing the learning theory and style
Learning event. Depot injection.
This was an intramuscular injection.
The injection was given into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle.
The name of the patient was James.
The learning event took place at a depot clinic where I was sent to complete my placement. The clinic had about 24 patients booked for injections. Myself Practice assessor had spoken few times about giving a deport injection as this was one of my learning objectives. Previously on one occasion he had carried out depot injection on a patient whilst I observed. However, as there were not enough patients on his caseload for me to practice on, he suggested that we attend a depot clinic.
On the day of the event while the patients were waiting outside the clinical room, we got into the clinic area, he demonstrated how to draw up the drug, location of the upper outer quadrant and inject. I was initially hoping that I would observe him performing the techniques, but he said to me that when the patient comes in, he will introduce us and ask if the patient would prefer himself or me to give the injection.? Although he was fully aware that I had not given an injection before, and could sense my anxiety, he reassured me that I will feel more confident by getting into it straight away.
The first patient was Mr James, as he walked in was made to feel welcome by offering a seat and started charting. James said he would prefer me to give him his depot. My practice assessor watched as I assembled all the equipment required which includes the drug, medication chart, syringe, alcohol pre pad and new needle, he was there guiding me through the process
I confirm James was who he said he is by asking question about date of birth and name, washed my hands, drew up the medication using the syringe and changed the needle, I showed my practice assessor the upper outer quadrant gluteal area by making a cross sign of the bottom and another cross sign on the upper outer of the bottom where I then clean the inject site with an alcohol pad and allowed dry. I spread the skin with her fingers and inject the needle straight down in the dart like motion all the way and aspirate then inject. The injection needle disposed in the sharp bin, James was asked how he felt which he responded “good”. By the end of my first day I had given 12 deport injection and was confident. I got positive feedback from patient and my practice assessor, I felt pleased with myself though I was worried at the beginning.
Please when discussing the future plan as a registered nurse consider discussing
