The Nursing Process and the Education Process

In the context of characterizing the difference between the nursing and the education process. We can easily observe as well as sense what is being meant about these two aspects in the teaching and learning setting. Mentioning the four essential backbones of these processes, entails keen sense of heeding what the learner in the education process should need to acquire and in the counterpart, the patient needs to understand in the nursing process. As this topic was elaborated further by our professor, myriads of real-life situations have come out from my mind and there, I was able to picture out how the so-called APIE that stands for: 

Assessment, 
Planning, 
Implementation and 
Evaluation takes into the course of application.

A process cannot be made if the first thing that should be taken into consideration was already neglected. So, doing the assessment needs to be done in order for professionals to point out the needs of a certain individual. Like in the educational or institution setting to set an example, whereby highschool students are assigned to learn about the topic ‘RH Bill’. The mentioned topic sounds controversial, so what the educators have to ponder is the interest of the learner. Take note that they are still highschool students so their level of maturity to understand and to formulate their insights are counted suitable for their learning capacity. Another is to measure how well the students know about it. In the healthcare setting, the assessment is done through checking patient's history and other relevant data.
Second is the planning. In planning, preparations are now being made and this is where the development of what has been into mind subsides. As what was being mentioned from the first educational process’ example, the teaching strategy is now developed like the professor plans for the medium to be used by choosing the open forum plan. Same with the nursing process where after obtaining all the necessary information from the patient, all personnel assigned to monitor his or her condition can be able to devise preventive measures by formulating a diet plan and prescribing medication.just to alleviate his or her increasing blood glucose levels.
As for implementing what has been planned, the teacher who planned to talk about the chosen topic (RH Bill) is now ready to execute and apply it effectively. Once an educator is confident to what she teaches, chances are the students want to listen. One of the successful ones is those who enable to establish a good communication response and when the chosen form of teaching was very well executed. In the healthcare perspective, implementation of medication, dietary control and time-to-time checking of the patient’s condition is the clearer picture of implementation.

Evaluating a student in the education process is feasible. A teacher can already evaluate the learners through their facial expressions be it whether he or she understands it well or not. It could be also when students ask a lot of questions and clarifications. A perfect or a failed score can also serve as indicators that the teaching strategy you’ve chosen is effective. Evaluation in nursing process on the other hand, involves the good and effective response of patients to treatment as well as the measure of improvement of the well-being of an individual.
