TEACHING PLAN1
Introduction
Teaching plan is a significant tool in the field of nursing as it requires the nurses to
encourage the patients to conduct self-care independently. It is necessary to deliver education to
the patient in any health care setting. The objective of a patient education is to help people and
their families in achieving optimal health (Bastable, 2017). In the learning process of the
teaching plan, both the educators and the clients contribute to the learning procedure leading to
an achievement of a positive outcome that enable the growth of six dimensions of health and
well-being of both the client and the educator (Bastable, 2017).
Assessment
This article is based upon a case study of Mrs. Yakimets who is a 65 year old patient. She
has been admitted to the continuing care center because she had a hemorrhagic stroke which has
left her with weakness in the right side and slurred speech. She is overweight, ha a problem of
hearing for which she requires a hearing aid. She is married and her husband lives in the family
home. Mrs. Yakimets has one daughter who lives in British Columbia.
Nursing Concepts and Metaparadigm
The assessment of Mrs. Yakimets was based on the nursing procedure and metaparadigm
which is the pillar of the healthcare of the patient (Bender, 2018). Nursing metaparadigm is the
guiding principle which is based upon certain concepts such as the client, health outcome,
surroundings, nursing care and social justice and it guides the medical experts to see the world
through a different view (Nikfarid, Hekmat, Vedad & Rajabi, 2018).

TEACHING PLAN2
Client – The principle of metaparadigm states that patient or the client refers to those people
who surround the patient. In this case, Mrs. Yakimets had her husband and a daughter. Though,
she was lacking family support since her husband was living in the family home and her
daughter was in British Columbia.
Health outcome - In case of Mrs. Yakimets, she was having a history of hypertension, suffering
from hemorrhagic stroke due to which she had weakness in the right side of the body, and slurred
speech. She is also obese, has hearing problem for which she needs a hearing aid.
Surroundings – These are those factors which impact the health condition of the patient. Mrs.
Yakimets had a history of hypertension and she was lacking knowledge regarding her health
conditions.
Nursing care – A trustworthy and an effective nursing relationship should be present in between
the nurse and the patient. For the fast recovery of the patient it is necessary to build an effective
nursing relationship.
Social justice – It refers to equal accessibility, availability and approachability of healthcare
resources among all the patients. For Mrs. Yakimets, she requires proper family support.
Learning Needs
 Interventions to manage hypertension – It is necessary for the patient to know how to
self-control the blood pressure (Williams et al., 2018). Having a grasp on the
understanding of the management of the blood pressure will help her to reduce the
chances of hemorrhagic stroke. As evidence hemorrhagic stroke occur when a blood
vessel in the brain bursts and blood leaks into the brain. Patient’s knowledge of

hypertension is important factor in achieving blood pressure control (Cushman et al.,
2016).
 An intervention to manage bodyweight – Since the patient is overweight which means the
patient is obese, that is why she needs to be taught regarding the management of blood
pressure. As evidence through stimulating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway,
raising sympathetic activity, fostering insulin resistance and leptin resistance, raising
procoagulatory activity and endothelial dysfunction, obesity may contribute to
hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (Morais, Kelly, Bost & Vaidya, 2018).
Nursing Diagnosis
Diagnosis Planning Intervention Evaluation
Knowledge deficit related to
insufficient knowledge
regarding the hypertension
and obesity which led to
occurrence of hemorrhagic
stroke.
After 8 hours of the
implementation of the
nursing interventions will
enable the patient to
understand the problem
and the treatment regimen.
 Assist the patient in
maintaining diet.
 Assist the patient for
regular physical
activity.
After 8 hours of the
implementation of the
nursing interventions will
enable the patient to
understand the problem and
the treatment regimen.
SMART goal

Measurable Mrs. Yakimets will keep a track of her body weight every day and also keep a check on
her blood pressure in the BP machine.
Action-oriented She will follow a healthy diet plan and will do exercises for 30 minutes every day.
Reasonable If required she will visit once every week, if any moderations are required in her role.
Timeline She will evaluate her progress every day and make changes as necessary to reach the
