Patient Teaching Plan

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)

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.

Health Topic: Decide WHAT you would like to teach.

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.
