Description
Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice, 6th edition
Patient teaching, health education and health promotion are not add-ons to nursing work. They are a large part of it, whatever position a nurse holds. Susan B. Bastable, an award winning educator, built this text around that reality, and it has become the best-selling title in its field.
The book’s distinguishing feature is its breadth of audience. Rather than treating patient education and student instruction as separate disciplines, it develops the underlying principles of teaching and learning and then applies them across contexts, which is why it works in both an undergraduate course and a graduate nurse educator programme.

- Principles of teaching and learning: learning theories and how they translate into practice.

- Diverse learners: culture, language, and teaching people with disabilities.

- Evaluation: measuring whether the teaching actually worked.
