The 12-hour unit outlined in this document is designed to introduce nursing students in their third semester of an upper division baccalaureate five-semester nursing program to the guided design decision-making process. The unit provides an introduction to interdisciplinary group decision-making language, builds upon the theoretical base of the nursing process, and offers experience with groups, which is essential to functioning in today's health care system. The two selected projects represent nursing situations familiar to the students and are designed to focus on the processes instead of the content. The projects are integrated with group dynamics materials in order to reduce the number of small groups to the ideal for instructor management of the guided design instruction/feedback technique. Small group observation and guided design small group participation are alternated to allow observational and experiential exposure to the guided design decision-making process for each student. It can also be used effectively in large classes. Developed over a 2-year period, this unit has been used with four classes of 40 students each with positive student response. (Author/THC)
