O NLINE A PPLICATION
• Within an online quizzing program like Quizlet (quizlet.com) or Quia (quia.com), create a matching game where each laboratory value must be matched to how it would be affected with renal disease. • Assign students to complete the handout individually. The final product can be uploaded to an online discussion board, and the document can be used as a study tool.
Patient Education: Disorders of the Urinary System
D IRECTIONS
• Divide students into groups of three or four. • Assign groups to create patient education materials (video, brochure, handout, poster, presentation, etc.) for one of the following urinary disorders: o Urolithiasis o Urinary tract infections o Acute kidney injury o Chronic kidney disease o Glomerulonephritis o Hydronephrosis o Nephrotic syndrome o Urinary incontinence • Students should define the urinary disorder, include specific causes, describe signs and symptoms, and discuss treatment options. • After each group completes its educational material, they should present it to the rest of the class. T IPS Remind students that working as part of a group leads to an exchange of information along with the ability to learn from others about relevant concepts for instruction of patient populations. Also, by encouraging creativity rather than conformity in terms of presentation, students are able to incorporate ideas into an educational tool. G OALS This activity requires students to summarize important aspects of patient education for urinary disorders in an easy-to-understand format. Students cannot merely repeat portions of the textbook; they must adapt them. This improves comprehension.
O NLINE A PPLICATION
• Divide students into groups of three to four in the learning management system. Ask them to create a patient handout discussing one of the urinary disorders. After completing the handout, it should be uploaded to the course for peer review and comments. • Assign each student one of the urinary disorders and ask them to create the educational handout. The handout can be uploaded for a grade and be used as an individual study tool.
