Week 2: Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health Application PowerPoint

Submit Assignment

Points 175  Submitting a file upload

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile health, or mHealth application (app) that is already developed. This may be related to the patient’s disease process or diagnosis or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or improve good health and prevent illness.

You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file for grading.

Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your name and the title of the presentation.

Scenario Slide (one slide): This slide should include a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is experiencing a specific disease process or diagnosis who would benefit from an already developed and reliable mHealth app. Or it could identify a person who is currently healthy and would like to maintain or improve health and prevent illness. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of the patient’s learning needs and readiness to learn. Be specific.

Example:

Scenario for Ms. Ellis

Jane Doe (your name here)

Jennifer Ellis, a 62-year-old African American woman, has been recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). She has been prescribed several medications she must take every day.

The nephrologist has stressed the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle to slow or stop the progression of CKD.

She is interested in ways in which she can better track her health and make healthier choices.

She is a high school graduate and iPhone user, mostly to send text messages to family and friends.

She is eager to learn how to use an app that can help her manage her CKD.

Prepare the following slides as if you are presenting them to the patient.

mHealth application slide (one to three slides): Identify a developed and reliable mHealth app that could benefit the patient. Describe the app, including the following.

Name

Purpose

Intended audience

Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate

Where to download or obtain it (include a working link if it is to be downloaded from a website)

Any other information you believe would be pertinent to this situation

Be sure to cite all sources you use.

Teaching slides (one to three slides): Prepare slides that contain important points about the app that you want to teach to the patient, such as how to use the app safely and effectively (including how to interpret and act on the information that is provided).

Evaluation slide (one to three slides): Describe how you would determine the success of the patient’s use of this app. For example, include ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching plan that are a good fit for the type of app or focus on specific ways that this app benefits the patient’s health and wellness.

References (last slide): List any references for sources that were used or cited in the presentation.

Writing and design: There should be no spelling or grammatical errors. Writing is concise and clear. Avoid words that the patient may not understand. Slides are visually appealing, incorporating graphics, photographs, colors, and themes.

Part 2: Objective information:
 Fetal heart tones are 130, with minimal variability
 Vaginal exam is 4 cm/90%effaced/ -1 station
 She is complaining of pain – 8/10 on a numerical scale.
 An IV has been started with an 18 gauge catheter with 1 liter of Lactated Ringers at 150 ml per hr in left forearm.

 

How can you provide non pharmacological comfort to this patient?
 What are the pharmacological methods to use?
 Without prenatal records or history GBS is unknown. What must you provide?
 Contractions are 5 minutes apart and you receive an order to augment labor – what non pharmacological methods can you employ (or ask the MD to provide?)
 Pitocin is ordered, please include at what rate you will start Pitocin, and how often you titrate. What equipment is needed to hang and run Pitocin IV?

Part 1: 25 y/o presents to Labor and Delivery with complaints of uterine cramping and lower back pain. Denies any vaginal bleeding at this time. Has related history of a preterm birth at 32 weeks gestation with her last pregnancy. The baby is 3 years old now and has no developmental issues.
 Her current gestational age is 30 weeks.
 She is O+ and all other lab values are normal. No noted STI’s.

1. Group Beta Strep is missing from the labs – most often is obtained at 35 – 37 weeks gestation.
 2. Without this information it is often determined to treat the patient anyway – presumptively to protect a premature baby from the risk.
 3. What other information would you like to ask her?
