Homework
Project will involve the construction of a proposal for a health promotion teaching tool that will be of value for the patient. This activity will allow you the opportunity to discuss health literacy best practices and how you would use them to educate, inform, and empower your patient with regard to their health risks and/or healthy behaviors. For this final project, you will propose a health promotion teaching tool based on your homework findings.
This homework will address your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:
a. Interpret health homework findings based on norms for healthy adults to inform patient health education strategies
b. Employ health literacy best practices for informing health promotion resources for diverse populations
c. Develop health education activities that utilize evidence-based practices for promoting patient safety and quality of care
Prompt
For this project, you will analyze your findings from the comprehensive head-to-toe patient homework you completed with your patient volunteer 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 homework. 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 based on your patient homework.
Answer following prompts below.
A. Analyze health risks uncovered during your homework. In other words, what unhealthy behaviors the patient engages in or indicators of disease or illness did you discover? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
B. Analyze healthy behaviors the patient engages in that you discovered during your homework. In other words, what opportunities exist for health promotion? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
C. Specify the critical information about your topic based on your homework 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. Explain your plan to ensure compliance of your teaching tool with Flesch-Kincaid readability guidelines. Be sure to explain your rationale.
