Environmental Factors and Health Promotion Presentation

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Describe the selected      environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected      can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
2. Create a health promotion plan      that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor      and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
3. Offer recommendations on      accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected      environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.

Course Project—Part 2

Instructional Unit: Goals, Objectives, and the Teaching Plans

In a Microsoft Word document of 6-7 pages formatted in APA style, submit your instructional unit, which should include three lesson plans: one focused on patient education, one on family education, and one on staff development. Remember, your plans should demonstrate a logical approach to teaching, communicate what is to be taught and how, and outline how objectives are to be evaluated. 

Building on the work that you started in Week 2, for all three groups of learners:

• Write two broad instructional goals for the educational experience for each group.
• Write two behavioral objectives using the three domains of Bloom’s taxonomy, for each domain:
  • Cognitive
  • Affective
  • Psychomotor
• Describe the lesson content.
• Provide a sequence for teaching activities.
• Describe instructional methods.
• Indicate time allotted for each activity.
• Identify and describe the instructional resources (materials, tools, etc.) and technology to be used.
• Describe how the learning will be evaluated.

Write a 1,000-1,250 word paper in which you analyze a scenario using the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA).

You are the administrator on call for Hospital A and are responsible for accepting and rejecting patients. You receive a call at 2:00 a.m. from Health Hospital B regarding a patient with a severed ear.

The ED physician is calling to arrange an EMTALA-qualified transfer from his hospital to yours, but the ENT physician on call at your hospital is refusing to accept the transfer, stating that the patient does not need a higher level of care.

You call your ENT on call, and he admits he has just had three glasses of wine and will not be available for about 6 hours. You electronically send him the record that Health Hospital B would send with the patient. The ENT physician advises that the ear looks salvageable and could easily be sutured in any ED. The ED physician at Health Hospital B is very nervous about the possibility of an EMTALA violation.

1. If you decide to reject the patient, is this a violation of EMTALA? Explain.
2. What decision will you make as the administrator? Explain.
3. Based on this scenario, what could be implemented to prevent this type of situation from occurring in the future?
4. Under what scenario would the Hospital A physician be concerned about an EMTALA situation?
