NUR+116+-+Cardiac+Defects


 * Your name:** Janet Massoglia


 * Course name:** NUR 116 – Pediatric Nursing


 * Objective assignment will meet:**

Describe the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, treatment, and nursing care of various type of congenital heart disease.


 * Rationale for assignment:**

The students struggle to understand the congenital heart defects. I have done the lecture on congenital heart defects six times now, when the students are in class about 40% begin to understand the different defects. On the examination that evaluated students learning – the student’s scores on this portion of the test range 60-70%. As an instructor, I do not think this is an acceptable level of comprehension. I realize, I will never have 100% but I am aiming to increase comprehension / learning to 85%.
