Walden NURS4006 Week 3 Assignment Question # 00599385 Course Code : NURS4006 Subject: Health Care Due on: 03/12/2019 Posted On: 03/12/2019 09:50 AM Tutorials: 1 Rating: 4.6/5

Health complications can be stressful, especially in more
vulnerable populations like young children and the elderly. With stress and
loss of function often come depression and other psychological manifestations.
As a nurse, part of your job is to recognize and educate patients and
caregivers on how to deal with the psychological complications of a health
crisis.

In this Assignment, you will educate either a caregiver of
an elderly patient or a caregiver of a young child patient on ways to prevent
and manage psychological manifestations. Review the Learning Resources dealing
with injuries and depression and anxiety.

The Assignment:

Develop a teaching plan for treating the potential
psychological issues that may result from health crises in either the elderly
or young children. You will use PowerPoint to present your teaching plan. Some
considerations to make include:

In what ways does mental health need to be considered across
the illness/injury continuum?

How can nurses help both patients and caregivers work
through mental blocks and depression associated with an illness or injury?

Although treatment will take place in a medical facility,
how can non-medical treatments be used as a supplement?

Support your idea with a minimum of three references from
the professional nursing literature in the assigned course readings and other
references in the Walden Library. If they are relevant, you may use one or two
professional Web sites in addition to the literature references.

Include the main elements of your presentation to a group of
parents or elderly or their caregivers. This PowerPoint presentation should
include between 8–10 slides. It will be assessed using the Week 3 Assignment.
Prior to submitting your Assignment, make sure to review the rubric, which is
located in the Course Information area.
