This module's readings reminded me of a recent comic in the newspaper. A gentleman was telling his wife that he knew things, but he didn't believe them:). Now I think that I am not sure what I know:) On serious contemplation, I believe that my decision making will be improved by being aware now of the biases and of potential errors in judgement.

thoughts on teaching

In my role working with the elderly and/or disabled, teaching occurs both with those individuals and with their families, friends, and caregivers. There is always medication teaching, treatment option teaching, and health promotion teaching. I don't believe there exists a nursing role that does not include teaching. We are always teaching by example I believe whether we like that or not.
