MSN Student’s Name: Amber Schlosser
Required information regarding target audience: The setting for my teaching plan as a nurse educator is the nursing professional role in the emergency department. The target audience for this lesson plan is the emergency department nurses that will use our form of triage using the Emergency Se verity Index (ESI). This lesson is taught to new graduate nurses beginning their careers in the emergency department and is a review for nurses tha t currently utilize this process. When teaching this,
an educator needs to be aware that these learners are adult learners. The design and execu tion of educational programs, especially those for healthcare
professionals, heavily rely on adult learning theories. There are differences in the applica tion of theories in healthcare professional education programs (Mukhalalati & Taylor, 2019). During this lesson, there will be barriers to from the audience tha t can influence the teaching-learning process such as anxiety, misinformation, and attitudes. For new graduating nursing entering the field of nursing, anxiety can be expected. Their increased anxiety can impact their retention of information that is provided. In attempts t o overcome this barrier, educators will find ways to assist with decreasing anxiety. Additionally, misinformation from senior nurses that currentl y practice this process can affect the teaching-learning process due to the learners having difficulty differentiating accurate information obtained during lessons a nd prior knowledge and experience. To overcome this barrier, educators will provide accurate information about this topic. Finally, atti tudes from learners that feel that this information is not important
can affect the teaching-learning process. This barrier will be addressed by identifying t he learners and setting rules and directions for the lesson. My personal learning philosophy is that learning needs to be a collaborative effort. As educators, it is important to collaborate with learners on their learning process and this can be completed by open discussions and collaborating with other learners . This can be used in this teaching plan by having an open discussion with collaborating with other learners on reviewing knowledge with questi ons about patients using ESI.

Required information regarding lesson title and purpose:
The title of this lesson is Emergency department triage and using Emergency Severity Index. This lesson plan, it will familiarize emergency department nurses with how to prioritize patient care throughout the emergency department. This lesson will last two hours and will occur in a classroom setting with didactic content. It will include lecture presentations ut ilizing PowerPoint and using team-based learning. In any teaching lesson, there are environmental factors that can foster learning from the audience such as noi se from outside the lecture area, learners having to use the restroom can interrupt learners learning, and failure of equipment.
Required Teaching Plan:

Learning
Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the learner will be able to:Topical Outline Instructional Method Learning Resources/Materials Evaluati on
Methods
Lesson Specific Objective #1:
At the end of this lesion, learners will be able to identify what ESI is and its importance in
triaging patient in the emergency
department.Identify what ESI means
Recognize the importance of ESI in triage
Identify the 5-levels triage scale of the ESILecture with PowerPoint presentation
Directed discussion
Hand on teaching with index cards for ESI scenarios Read: ESI implementation handbook chapter 1 (Gilboy et al., 2020)
Read: ESI implementation handbook chapter 2 (Gilboy et al., 2020)
Instructor will provide handouts that will present the 5-level triage scale of the ESI and conceptual/ triage algorithmEducator will have group discussion with questions for learners to evaluate their understanding of material provided. Learners are expected to have 80% answered correctly.
Rationale for lesson-specific learning objectives: The first objective is concerned with the cognitive aspect of lear ning. The reason for these objectives is
that new nurses to the emergency department are unfamiliar w ith triaging patients and teaching them the importance of ide ntifying the severity of patient 2
