The Blood Glucose Monitoring Activity, structured in a guided notes format, allows students delve into essential topics including diabetes overview, blood glucose monitoring techniques, glucometer use, and capillary blood specimen collection technique. The learning activity is enhanced with QR code video links for skill demonstrations, facilitating a deeper understanding and visual learning experience. Each section of the Injection Basics Activity is enriched with equipment and supplies graphics, enhancing understanding and familiarity with essential tools of the trade. With a focus on practical application, this activity covers a wide range of topics, including parts and sizes of syringes and needles, needlestick prevention, medication containers, injection sites, needle angles, injection techniques, and insulin types & mixing. Nine activity pages provide in-depth exploration, while seven skills checklist pages enable peer evaluations and checkoffs for intradermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections.

Our skill checklists enables peer assessments, fostering collaboration and reinforcing proficiency in skill execution. While this resource was originally designed for use with the Open RN Nursing Skills textbook (avalable from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK596718/), it pairs well with many other instructional resources.

The case study presents a newly diagnosed pediatric patient, offering a comprehensive exploration of diabetes management from diagnosis to treatment. This engaging resource delves into diabetes symptoms, lab interpretation, and patient teaching strategies, providing students with a holistic understanding of the disease process. By navigating through the case report, students develop critical thinking skills and clinical reasoning, preparing them for the challenges of healthcare practice. Key highlights of the Diabetes Case Study include investigation of different types of insulin, dosage calculation methods for mealtime insulin using carbohydrate ratios and correction scales. Sstudents learn to personalize insulin regimens based on individual patient needs, honing their dosage calculation abilities. Additionally, students will practice strategies for communicating effectively with pediatric patients.
