  3. Health Topic: Select your topic from the list below. 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:
    • Palliative Care/Hospice Care
    • Medication Safety at Home
    • Vaccinations
    • Women’s Health
    • Men’s Health
    • Geriatric Home Safety
  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 tool was successful and met the learning objectives. Consider the population’s abilities and the setting.

HEALTH TOPIC ANSWER
 

State the topic you have selected for your Teaching Project.

(Please select from the list provided in the Teaching Project guidelines located in Module 4.)

 

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.

 The selected topic is Medication Safety at Home. According to Chew,HSS, Chan, and Hassali (2019),unintentional poisoning of children is a significant public health concern not only in the U.S but across the globe, accounting for thousands of physical injuries particularly among children below 5 years. In the U.S, every day, more than 300 children aged 0-19 seek emergency care out of which two die due to poisoning (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2019).It is important to ensure medication safety at home as improper medication can cause life-threatening medication dosing errors and unsupervised ingestion among children. Some children are highly active and curious to investigate, causing them to drink or eat medications at home. Prevention of injury among children is a priority public health concern as it helps to prevent cuts, burns, poisoning, falls, morbidity and mortality associated.According to Santos et al. (2019), medicines are the main causes of accidental poisoning with children aged below 5 years being the most susceptible. In contemporary times, there are more medicines at home due to the increase in chronic diseases, increasing the risk of poisoning (Lindblad, Flink, & Ekstedt, 2017). However, a high proportion of medication poisoning incidences are preventable through strategies such as changing packaging, labeling medicine instructions, and educating the patients of safe medication use at home (Lindblad et al., 2017). According to Chew et al. (2019), low educational and health literacy levels among parents, low socioeconomic status, low supervision, and unsafe storage of medicines and other chemicals are the main causes of childhood poisoning.Thus, there is a need for educational intervention to enhance safe medication practices and prevent the adverse outcomes associated.
