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.

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

Population
and Setting: Once you have selected a topic, you must decide WHO you 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)

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.

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.

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.
