 Part One of the Assignment.

Purpose

To create a Patient Teaching Plan aimed at educating a specific patient population about a specific health topic. This plan will be used to develop a Visual Teaching Tool in a future assignment.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.

• CO 2: Recognize the influence that developmental stages have on physical, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual functioning. (PO #1)
• CO 4: Identify teaching/learning needs from the health history of an individual. (PO #2)

This assignment is worth 125 points.

Background Information

NR305 focuses on nursing assessment, and the identification of opportunities to prevent disease and improve health of patients. An important professional role for nurses is to provide teaching to patients based on knowledge deficits identified during assessment.

Prior to beginning this assignment, follow the link to read the article below. The information related to adult learning and barriers to understanding will be helpful when planning how to best educate your selected population.

Click on the envelope at the top of the page.
3. Health Topic: Decide WHAT you would like to teach. Describe in detail why this is an important topic for patient education. Use evidence from the textbook, lesson or an outside scholarly source to support your rationale.Select from the following health topics to complete your Patient Teaching Project:
   • Stress and Time Management
   • Self-Care (can choose a specific self-care activity)
   • Prevention of Hazards at Work
   • Bicycle Safety
   • Ergonomics (related to work, posture)
   • Skin Cancer Prevention
   • Healthy Eating
   • Exercise/Physical Activity
   • Suicide
   • Human Trafficking
   • Eating Disorders
   • Substance Abuse (Opioid, Alcohol, Nicotine)
   • Depression
   • Palliative Care/Hospice Care
4. Population and Setting: Once you have selected a topic, you must decide WHOyou will be teaching and WHERE the education will take place. (i.e., teaching a classroom of middle school students; teaching community members at a local health fair)
5. Learning Barriers: Refer to the assigned article: Educating patients: Understanding barriers, learning styles, and teaching techniques for information related to learning barriers and other teaching considerations. Barriers might be cultural, physical, educational, or environmental. You may also want to consider the developmental stages of your selected population.Example:
   • The population in this community is known to have a low-literacy level, therefore clear pictures and graphics will be utilized to assist with understanding.
6. Learning Objectives: Write three specific learning objectives your Visual Teaching Tool will address. Begin each objective with "At the end of this education, the learner will ..." Use an action verb to finish the sentence (i.e., list, demonstrate, describe, define, identify).Example:
   • At the end of this education, the learner will be able to demonstrate the proper way to wear a bike helmet.
   • At the end of this education, the learner will be able to describe how to perform a breast self-exam.
   • At the end of this education, the learner will be able to list three benefits of regular physical activity.
7. Evaluation: Write a paragraph describing how you could evaluate whether your visual teaching tool was successful and met the learning objectives. Consider the population's abilities and the setting.

PART 2 OF THE ASSIGNMENT

Purpose

To utilize the Patient Teaching Plan (developed in a prior assignment) to create a Visual Teaching Tool to educate the selected patient population about the selected health topic.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.

• CO 2: Recognize the influence that developmental stages have on physical, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual functioning. (PO #1)
• CO 4: Identify teaching/learning needs from the health history of an individual. (PO #2)

This assignment is worth 75 points.

Select an Option to Complete this Assignment

There are 3 options for creating your Visual Teaching Tool. Be sure to choose a format that makes sense for your selected topic, population, and setting. For example, if will be teaching adults at a health fair, then an educational brochure would be an appropriate choice. You must use the Patient Teaching Plan you have developed in this course to create your Visual Teaching Tool.

Option #1 - Power Point

Directions: 

1. Create a 6-8 slide Power Point presentation for your selected population setting.
2. The goal of this Power Point Presentation is to address the three learning outcomes you developed in the Patient Teaching Plan. Once the learner has viewed your Power Point, all three of the learning objectives should have been met.For Example:If a learning objective in the teaching plan is: “At the end of this education, the learner will be able to demonstrate the proper way to wear a bike helmet,” then there should be content in your Power Point related to how to properly wear a bike helmet.
3. Tips for a great Power Point presentation:
   • Be creative! Choose a design (from the design tab of the PowerPoint presentation) to enhance visual appeal.
   • Incorporate graphics, clip art, or photographs to increase interest.
   • Use words and phrases suitable for your selected population.
   • Avoid writing paragraphs. Use simple sentences and bullet points.
   • Cite all sources used to create the educational content with (author, year).
   • Proofread for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.

• NOTE: The Patient Teaching Plan Form and the Article are the attachment below. You can use additional Article.
