This post is aimed at showing how effective and rich it is to plan using websites. I will be presenting two ESP Lesson Plans. My goal is to give tools to Nurses working in Operating Rooms. Nurses must be ready to act quickly and efficiently and they need to be ready to tackle many tasks before, during and after surgery.
Objectives: Students will be able to carry out many of the tasks necessary during surgery. They will be able to recognize and prepare elements in the operating room in order to anticipate and assist skillfully during an Open Inguinal Hernia Repair Peri procedural and will be able to maintain an aseptic technique throughout the procedure.
Lesson Plan 1- The Operating Room
1-Warmer:
a) Which of these do you consider fundamental duties as an operating room specialist? And why?
· Communication with Professional Staff
· Understanding the use and meaning of terminology in the operating room.
· Following operative procedures
b) What is the difference between
·Antisepsis vs Antiseptics
· Contaminated vs Cross Contamination
· Detergent vs Disinfectant
· Asepsis vs Aseptic Technique.
2) Web – Scrubbing and dressing -Preparation of the operating room
A.- Students will browse through these websites and focus on the Nurses’ duties in the operating room and the procedure to follow in order to avoid contamination before, during and after surgery.
B. Practice some of the techniques used in the operating room to decrease pathogen microorganisms within a surgical procedure by clicking on the picture below.
3) What’s next
Design the steps to follow to write a report on the correct procedure to follow to pass from a non-restricted to a restricted area and the correct techniques used for scrubbing and dressing to avoid contamination.
Lesson Plan 2 – The Surgical Instruments and The Inguinal Repair Surgery technique.
