A Change of Perspective in the Classroom: FSAH 26a Practices Measuring Blood Sugar

As part of Learning Module 6, the FSAH 26a class, together with their teacher, Ms. Eberhard, conducted hands-on exercises in blood glucose testing. In addition to learning the technical procedures, the focus was primarily on shifting their own perspectives.

By not only applying the measurement technique to one another but also experiencing the situation firsthand, the students were able to directly understand how this procedure feels for clients. This firsthand experience sharpens their awareness of the needs of people in everyday nursing and care settings and helps them to proceed with particular care later on.

In this way, the lesson directly combines professional competence with empathy—an important foundation for their future work with clients.
