Directions
The hospital human resource department has asked you to come speak at the new employee orientation. They want you to do the TB education part of the training. The training coordinator has specifically asked you because they know you tested positive for TB. He has specifically asked you to cover:
- how you were diagnosed with TB (What was the process?);
- what you may face as an individual with TB. (What can you expect in the short- and the long-term? What are the challenges? What are your symptoms?);
- what your treatment options and fears about drug resistant TB are; and
- some risk factors and things they can do to avoid infection with TB
You have to create a training aid or a presentation. It is important that you let the new hires know that this problem may have an affect any of them.
The format for your training aid could be:
- a PowerPoint presentation;
- a handout that helps them follow along with what you are teaching;
- a video that covers the information; or
- an interactive Web page that they could visit;
