DeVRY NR 361 Week 2 Assignment: Patient Guide Patient Education Technology
DeVRY NR 361 Week 2 Assignment: Patient Guide Patient Education Technology
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you identify. Your guide
or handout should help this patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile health, or mHealth application (app) that is already developed. This may be related to his or her disease process or diagnosis, or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or improve good health, and prevent illness.
Criteria for Content
- Scholarliness: In this category, the student will conduct a search of the current databases and locate valid, relevant, and reliable information for the required topic. Each reference must be scholarly.
- Application of Course Knowledge: In this category, the student demonstrates the ability to analyze and apply principles, knowledge, and information learned in the course lesson and outside readings. This information is then applied to a real-life professional situation as an example.
- Interactive Dialogue: In this category, the minimum requirements are to provide an initial posting to the graded threaded discussion topic by Wednesday, 11:59 pm MT of each week. In addition, one peer response and one instructor response are required. These postings must be completed by Sunday, 11:59 pm MT of each week. The initial posting, peer response, and instructor response must be on 3 separate days.
- Grammar, Syntax, APA: Proper grammar, APA, and syntax is required for all posts. Students should follow the APA Manual 6th Edition. Additional APA information is available in Course Resources.
- Participation Requirement: One initial posting, one peer response and one instructor response (for a total of 3 posts for the week) are required on 3 separate days.
- Participation Deadline: The student must provide a substantive response to the graded threaded discussion topic. This must be posted by Wednesday, 11:59 pm MT of each week. Peer and instructor responses must be posted by Sunday, 11:59 pm MT.
- For week 8 only: the required postings are amended due to the shorter week. Two posts are required. One initial post and either a peer response or an instructor response. Initial post must be a minimum of 200 words and the peer or instructor response must be a minimum of 100 words. Both posts are required to be on two separate days. All posts must be made by Wednesday, 11:59 pm MT.
Criteria for Format and Special Instructions
- Instructor reserves the right to submit any threaded discussion posting to TurnItIn in order to verify the originality.
- When journals are used as the outside source of information, it is preferred that the journal be peer reviewed. The Chamberlain online librarian is very helpful in assisting you to find an article related to your topic. If you have questions concerning scholarly sources, please refer to the handout entitled “What is a scholarly source” located under “Course Resources” tab.
- Web sites vary in quality and scholarship. It is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarly nature of the web site. If the instructor determines that the site failed to demonstrate scholarship, points maybe deducted. Students are cautioned to use care regarding .com sites. Some .com sites are excellent such as American Heart Association, but others are built by individuals and scholarliness is lacking. It is recommended that you check with your instructor before using a .com website as a reference.
- Only one small quote (15 words or less) within the entire initial posting is acceptable. It is expected that the student will paraphrase the information when presenting information from a scholarly source. The scholarly source(s) for the paraphrased information must be cited using APA format. Do not include a number of small quotes even if they are just a few words as your instructor considers a quote to be a quote no matter its limited size.
You will develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint.
PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and
handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide
or handout that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be
submitting this PowerPoint file for grading.

Due Date
The Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health
Application PowerPoint assignment is due at the end of Week 2. Submit your
completed assignment by Sunday; 11:59 p.m. MT. You may consult the Policies,
under the Instruction & Resources Module, for details regarding late
assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions
about this assignment in the Q & A discussion.
Directions
Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create slides, which will be the
basis of the guide or handout. You are required to cite your source(s) as it
relates to your application slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is
not a requirement for the assignment.
Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your
name and title of the presentation.
Scenario Slide (one slide): This slide should include a
brief scenario, then identify a patient who is experiencing a specific disease process
or diagnosis who would benefit from an already developed and reliable mHealth
app. Or, identify a person is currently healthy and would like to maintain or
improve health and prevent illness. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment
of the patient’s learning needs and readiness to learn. Be specific.
Example:
Scenario for Ms. Ellis
Jane Doe (your name here)
Jennifer Ellis, a 62-year-old African American who has been
recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). She has been prescribed several
medications she must take every day.
The nephrologist has stressed the importance of leading a
healthy life style to slow or stop the progression of CKD.
She is interested in ways in which she can better track her
health and make healthier choices.
She is a high school graduate and iPhone user, mostly to
send text messages to family and friends.
She is eager to learn how to use an app that can help her
manager her CKD.
Prepare the following slides as if you are presenting them
to the patient.
mHealth Application Slide (one to three slides): Identify a
developed and reliable mHealth app that could benefit the patient. Describe the
app including its:
Name
Purpose
Intended audience
Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate
Where to download or obtain it. Include a working link if it
is to be downloaded from a website.
And any other information you believe would be pertinent to
this situation.
Sources that are used are cited.
Teaching Slides (one to three slides): Prepare slides that
contain important points about the app that you want to teach to the patient
such as: how to use the app safely and effectively including how to interpret
and act on the information that is provided.
Evaluation Slide (one to three slides): Describe how you
would determine the success of the patient’s use of this app. For example,
include ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching plan that are a good
fit for the type of app or focus on specific ways that this app benefits the
patient’s health and wellness.
References (last slide): List any references for sources
that were used or cited in the presentation.
Writing and Design: There should be no spelling or
grammatical errors. Writing is concise and clear. Avoid words that the patient
may not understand. Slides are visually appealing incorporating graphics,
photographs, colors, and themes.
Review the section on Academic Integrity Policy found in the
RNBSN Policies. All work must be original (in your own words) unless properly
cited.
Best Practices in Preparing PowerPoint Slideshows
Be creative, but realistic.
Incorporate graphics, color, themes, or photographs to
increase interest.
Make easy to read with short bullet points and large font.
Review directions thoroughly.
Cite all sources within the slides with (author, year) as
well as on the Reference slide.
Proofread prior to final submission.
Spell check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final
submission.
Abide by the Chamberlain academic integrity policy.
