Patient Education Tool And Paper

/in /by

Create a one-page patient education tool that explains usage of a medication and factors that can affect outcomes. Then, write 2–3 pages in which you explain how the tool promotes patient safety and quality outcomes, and adheres to the principles and practices of cultural competence.

Imagine your supervisor has asked you to develop a patient education tool for new medication starts in your current area of practice. This tool needs to provide important information to the patient, yet be concise enough to require no more than one page.

 

Preparation

Review the suggested list of possible topics in Part 1 of the Requirements and then search the Internet for supporting resources. You will need to provide support for the information you choose to include in the patient education tool.

Requirements

Complete both Part 1 and Part 2 of this assessment. You may submit both parts in one document or submit them as separate documents. Be sure you complete both parts!

Submit a total of 4–5 pages. Write no more than one page for Part 1. Write 2–3 pages, plus a separate reference page, for Part 2.

Part 1: Patient Education Tool

Complete the following:

  1. Choose one of the following topics as the basis for your patient education tool:
    • Antibiotics (Amoxil/Amoxicillin) for pediatric ear infections.
    • Statin therapy (Zocor/Simvastatin) for a newly diagnosed patient with hypercholesterolemia.
    • Antihypertensive (ACE inhibitors/Lisinopril/Zestril) for a patient who was discovered to have hypertension at a health screening at work.
    • Drugs for treating gastric acidity (Proton pump inhibitors/antacids/H2 blockers) for a patient complaining of chronic indigestion and heartburn.
    • Ear drops or eye drops (or both) for an elderly patient.
    • Any newly released medication for a patient in your area of practice. This might be a new drug for diabetes, hypertension, or arthritis or a new antibiotic.
  2. Include the following in your patient education tool:
    • Explain appropriate use of the medication.
    • Identify specific factors (age, access, culture, and so on) that may affect the efficacy of the medication.
    • Describe possible chemical interactions, side effects, or other negative reactions patients need to be aware of.
    • Explain correct handling, storage, and disposal of the medication.
    • Include any other information you feel would be beneficial and promote patient safety and quality outcomes.

You may format Part 1, the patient education tool, any way you wish, but be sure it is logical and understandable by the typical patient who would use it. Feel free to include pictures or diagrams to reinforce the information.

Part 2: Evidence-Based Practice

Provide evidence for the information you included in the patient education tool:

  • Explain how the information in the patient education tool promotes patient safety and quality outcomes.
  • Explain how the patient education tool adheres to the principles and practices of cultural competence. In other words, is the tool appropriate for all cultures, genders, ages, et cetera; or could it be easily adapted for specific needs?

Format Part 2 according to APA guidelines. This is not a document you would provide to a patient but, for this assessment, it will provide faculty with the academic and professional principles necessary to evaluate your work.

Additional Requirements

  • At least 2 current scholarly or professional resources.
  • For Part 2 only:
    • Use Times New Roman font, 12 point, double-spaced font.

Select a particular change in health care that you would like to see occur. Describe how you would work through the four phases of planned change as explained in the chapter to show how they would bring about your selected change.

2. Think about a change that has occurred in your life. Some examples may be a change of role, a move, a marriage, a birth, a divorce, or a death. How did you react to the change? Would you have reacted differently if you had had more information? Using Lewin�s model, describe the basic elements in the situation and how you eventually achieved a comfortable outcome.
3. Try taking a different route to class the next time it meets. Before you do this, think about how many changes, large and small, you will have to make to do this. Will you have to leave earlier to be in class on time? Will you meet different people on your way to class? See different sights? Would you change your route to class on the day of the final exam? Why or why not? Summarize the positives and negatives of this small change. Relate your responses to this change to the way staff nurses feel when an administrator makes what he or she thinks is a �minor� change.

4. What is the difference between macro-change and micro-change? Give an example of each that is related to nursing.

5. Explain the phases of planned change.

6. Discuss people�s responses to moving out of their comfort zone. How can you as a nurse leader help people to change without becoming very uncomfortable?

7. What are some methods that managers and leaders can use to lower resistance to change?
8. What types of leaders and managers are more effective in initiating change? Explain.
9. Why is change inevitable? What would happen if no changes occurred in health care? Explain, using an example from your clinical area.

10. Why is it important to know how to help people adapt to change?
11. Explain the concept of accountability in delegation. What are the legal ramifications of accountability in delegation?

12. Dennie and Elias arrive in the unit for the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift. Both nurses completed orientation 4 weeks ago. They find that they will be the only two RNs on the floor that night. There is a census of 48 clients. The remaining staff consists of two CNAs and one LPN. What are the responsibilities of the RN, CNA, and LPN? Can Dennie and Elias effectively delegate client care tasks and care safely for all 48 clients?

13. Discuss the differences between direct delegation and indirect delegation.
14. Observe delegation procedures in your assigned unit (Job placement, real unit) . What considerations does the RN take into account when delegating client care?
