Teaching with technology

What sort of teaching is done in your professional role?
In my role as a Registered Nurse in the Newborn ICU, there is a multitude of information that will be taught from the admission of the neonate until the discharge of the neonate. Teaching starts from the very beginning of the admission by explaining to the parent why their neonate is in the hospital, what type of treatments, surgery, medications and special cares that neonate will need. Many topics are covered over the coarse of the hospitalization of the neonate, including sepsis, infection control measures (such as washing hands and wearing a mask if they have any signs of a cold), I teach the parents about the monitors and how they translate to the illness/wellness of their neonate. I teach parents how to interact with their ill neonate as not to increase stimulation or pain by too much touching, bright lighting, and increased noise at the bedside from just talking.
Our Unit has an actual checklist of sorts, a discharge sheet that is monitored during the hospitalization of the neonate. As the neonate nears discharge, a discharge specialty nurse is notified and equipment or supplies are ordered as needed, such as oxygen or home health monitors. The parents are taught how to use these devices and are taught CPR before going home. This discharge checklist is signed off as completed by the nurse who sends the baby home to signify that all teaching has been completed and the parents signs the sheet in agreement that they received all of the information. Handouts are sometimes given as reminders, and I often have to repeat my answers to clarify or reinforce teaching daily.

Is there any nursing/health care provider role that does not involve teaching in some manner?
I think everyone in the health care field is involved in teaching in one way or another. Not only Nurses and Doctors, but Social workers who help the family find community resources, Discharge planners who network with the family to get supplies according to their type of insurance coverage, I think even other family's teach each other when they discuss their medical issues and use one another as emotional support systems during the hospitalization period. I learn something new every day at work and in school. Teaching is a very important role, especially in a medical profession.

Module 3 Electronic Index

I have chosen to research the topic the benefits of breast milk for neonates. When searching the engine, guideline index, and electronic index I found comparisons in specific terms. Key terms or key words of neonate and breast milk were listed in all references. In contrast, benefits had to be specifically added to the key terms to get a more narrow search. This was surprising to me, as benefits of breast milk is usually part of the discussion of this topic. 
I am learning more each week how to be more specific in my searches for information.
