3. 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
4. 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)
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Evaluation: Write a paragraph describing how you could evaluate whether your visual teaching t 

Educational Brochure (Using Microsoft Word)

Directions: You must use the Patient Teaching Plan you have developed in this course to create your Visual Teaching Tool. 

1. Open Microsoft Word, and select create a New document.Under the Education option, select Education Brochure. This will provide you with a blank tri-fold brochure template. You can change the design, insert graphics, and create text as you wish.
2. The goal of this Educational Brochure is to address the three learning outcomes you developed in the Patient Teaching Plan. Once the learner has viewed your Educational Brochure, all three of the learning objectives should have been met.
   For Example:
   If a learning objective in the Patient Teaching Plan is: “At the end of this education, the learner will be able to demonstrate the proper way to wear a bike helmet,” then there should be content in your Educational Brochure related to how to properly wear a bike helmet.ool was successful and met the learning objectives. Consider the population’s abilities and the setting.

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?
Preterm Labor Management
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?
4. What nursing intervention will you provide?
5. What screening tests are often obtained to help determine her risk for preterm labor.
6. And if it is determined she is in preterm labor what medications may you want to use with a doctors order?
7. Please also give dose, side effects and possible result of the medication. Please answer all questions include intext citation and 3-4 references

Developing a Change Project – Part I

Identify the change project topic and identify why it is a problem (provide details). Identify the stakeholders (both internal and external) and summarize the benefits of the change project as well as the benefits and challenges associated with internal and external stakeholders.

All submissions must have a minimum of two scholarly references to support your work. 

Examples of work to show mastery:

• 1-2 page paper – APA format

TOPIC – Physician Assisted-Suicide 

Prompt: In this activity, you’ll create an annotated bibliography by following the steps below and answering the questions as thoroughly as possible. The questions will prompt you to engage in a conversation with your sources. You will need to follow the steps below three times (for your three different sources).

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• Selected sources from the Opposing Viewpoints database or the Academic Search Ultimate database.
• • Applied the C.R.A.A.P test to the sources to determine if they are credible and reliable. (You can download a copy of The C.R.A.A.P. Test Worksheet. Remember, credible sources should score 35 points or more on the test.)

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Identify your sources, including author, title, and the database information or website.
2. Summarize your source. (Use the template below.)
   • It seems this source is arguing ____________________. This source is using this evidence to support the argument: ____________________.
   • A counterargument for one of the provided sources could be: __________________________________.
3. Credibility and Relevance
   • Explain the rationale for the credibility of the source by providing supporting evidence. (Use the template below.)
