Description
Propose a health promotion teaching tool for a healthy behavior or health risk that you identified during the comprehensive patient assessment in Module Six. Be sure to address the following elements in your proposal:
1- Describe a health risk or healthy behavior that you identified during your assessment that you will use as the basis for your health promotion teaching tool proposal, and explain why you chose that topic.
2- Identify the goals or objectives of your proposed teaching tool based on the health risk or healthy behavior you identified.
3- Specify the critical information about your topic based on your assessment findings that you would include in your teaching tool.
4- Recommend specific intervention(s) for your topic that will result in improved patient outcomes or will promote health maintenance. Be sure to support your recommendations with evidence-based research.
5- Determine the medium (presentation, brochure, poster, or other format) that would be most appropriate for communicating information about your chosen topic. Be sure to explain your rationale.
6- Discuss the health literacy best practices you would employ to ensure your teaching tool is appropriate for diverse populations. Be sure to support your claims with specific examples from evidence-based research.
7- Describe your plan to ensure compliance of your teaching tool with Flesch-Kincaid readability guidelines. Be sure to explain your rationale.
This assessment will address your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
• Employ appropriate healthcare data collection techniques in completing comprehensive, patient-centered assessments • Interpret health assessment findings based on norms for healthy adults to inform patient health education strategies • Employ health literacy best practices for informing health promotion resources for diverse populations • Develop health education activities that utilize evidence-based practices for promoting patient safety and quality of care
Prompt For this final project, you will analyze your findings from the comprehensive head-to-toe patient assessment you complete in the Shadow Health virtual environment in Module Six. You will also propose a health promotion teaching tool based on a health risk or healthy behavior of your choice that you identified during the comprehensive assessment. Note: You do not need to create the actual teaching tool, but rather write a proposal in which you will describe the tool and discuss your rationale behind the choices you make for its development.
In your Patient Analysis and Teaching Tool Proposal, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Patient Analysis
A. Identify the appropriate interviewing skills necessary for completing a comprehensive, patient-centered head-to-toe assessment.
B. For each of the body systems you assessed, describe your data collection techniques. In other words, what methods did you use to collect your assessment findings?
C. Explain why the data collection techniques you used were the most appropriate for each body system assessed. Be sure to substantiate your claims with evidence-based research. D. For each of the body systems you assessed, compare your findings with established norms for healthy adults. Describe any deviations from those norms. Be sure to substantiate your claims with specific examples from your assessment.
E. Analyze health risks uncovered during your assessment. In other words, what indicators of disease or illness, or unhealthy behaviors the patient engages in, did you discover? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
F. Analyze healthy behaviors the patient engages in that you discovered during your assessment. In other words, what opportunities exist for health promotion? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
G. For each of the body systems you assessed, recommend interventions that are appropriate for promoting the overall health of each system and quality of life. Be sure to support your recommendations with evidence-based research.
H. Develop an overall plan of health based on your assessment findings. Be sure to use specific examples from the assessment, as well as evidencebased research, to support your plan.
II. Health Promotion Teaching Tool Proposal
A. Describe a health risk or healthy behavior that you identified during your assessment that you will use as the basis for your health promotion teaching tool proposal, and explain why you chose that topic
B. Identify the goals or objectives of your proposed teaching tool based on the health risk or healthy behavior you identified.
C. Specify the critical information about your topic based on your assessment findings that you would include in your teaching tool.
D. Recommend specific intervention(s) for your topic that will result in improved patient outcomes or will promote health maintenance. Be sure to support your recommendations with evidence-based research.
E. Determine the medium (presentation, brochure, poster, or other format) that would be most appropriate for communicating information about your chosen topic. Be sure to explain your rationale.
F. Discuss the health literacy best practices you would employ to ensure your teaching tool is appropriate for diverse populations. Be sure to support your claims with specific examples from evidence-based research.
G. Describe your plan to ensure compliance of your teaching tool with Flesch-Kincaid readability guidelines. Be sure to explain your rationale
