psychomotor teaching strategies

Precision

Imitation

Articulation

Patient administers epinephrine via autoinjector to practice pillow

Demonstrate skill of administering epinephrine via autoinjector

Patient repeats practice of skill

Manipulation

Patient walks through step by step process of administering auto injector

Pt. is able to reproduce skill without prompting

Patient continues to perfect injection techniques

Patient performs techniques without verbalizing actions or pausing to consider next steps

Give scenarios in which epinephrine was necessary and asked to verbalize why, when, and how they would administer the epi pen.

Naturalization

Patient can design teaching plan about epinephrine autoinjector

Patient can seamlessly demonstrate how to administer epi pen

Patient can quickly and automatically distinguish between situations that necessitate epinephrine and situations that don't. EG. patient with a wasp allergy is in a swarm of wasps and presents to patient with shortness of breath, but no hives, throat or mouth swelling, or evident stings- patient is hyperventilating from panic, and does not need epinephrine.
