Teaching Project

1. Design the nursing process to promote health with community partners across the life span in community settings with both predictable and unpredictable circumstances.

2. Create partnerships with communities in the customized therapeutic care process to protect, promote, and restore optimal community health.

3. Demonstrate effective therapeutic communication skills when engaged in professional relationships with community partners.

4. Analyze practice decisions within the community utilizing critical thinking.

5. Evaluate strategies to improve community health through scholarship.

1. Explain how community-focused nursing supports health assessments and interventions of communities and populations.

2. Describe community nursing and epidemiology.

1. Design a health education plan (modified)

The learner will create a teaching project based upon the results of the windshield survey and the community demographic assignment.

1. The learner will create a teaching project

2. The learner will complete and submit the project by the assigned due date.

Based upon the community health diagnosis you developed in the Community Demographic assignment, develop a teaching project as an intervention for your community. You will not present the project in this course, but you will have a teaching project that will enhance your ability to educate populations or individual patients about a health issue. To accomplish the Teaching Project, you will create an outline and build a PowerPoint presentation with visual aids. Submit your presentation in Schreiner One under Assessment to Teaching Project.

For example, if you are providing a presentation about diabetes, download and submit one of the wonderful handouts from the National Institute of Health.

Other sites for different possible teaching areas are:

• Diabetes

• Nutrition

• Heart

• Kidney

• Lead abatement

• Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)

• A site for nearly any topic

To earn extra credit, you may create a poster or presentation board. This can be either:

• An actual physical board where you’ll take a picture of the display to submit with the rest of your work. Please compress large picture files to meet Schreiner One limits.

• An electronic poster board where you may opt to use a PosterPresentation.com template, (link is also in Schreiner One under Resources).

Also fill in the form below and submit it with the rest of your presentation. An exemplar is included to assist you. Keep a log of the hours that you spend on the project. You have been given 25 hours to complete this task. Be creative in your approach. You may include demonstrations and return demonstrations, a subject matter expert (for example, a chef to demonstrate healthy cooking techniques, or a WOCN nurse to demonstrate stoma care). Include some type of participation or interaction to enhance your learning.
