This week we discuss Teens, Sexuality, and Education. Design a PowerPoint presentation for high school aged students discussing normative aging changes, sexuality, STDs, and prevention.  The PPT should consist of a title slide, objective slide, 10 content slides, and a reference slide. Be sure to use 2 sources and cite them on the slides where used in APA format. The Rubric is for a PPT – please review carefully for full credit.

In the PPT:

·  Discuss normal body changes that occur through puberty into young adulthood

·  Discuss pregnancy and prevention

·  Discuss specific STDs, causes, symptoms, complications and treatment. You should include a slide or two for each of the following: 

o  Gonorrhea

o  Chlamydia

o  Herpes

o  HIV

o  Syphillis

o  HPV

When selecting images, remember your audience is high school students!

The nurse is caring for a patient who has a history of asthma and is currently admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. Discuss the pathophysiology of asthma and the impact of pneumonia, assessment information pertinent for the patient, lab work or diagnostic test appropriate for managing the disease process, pharmacology agent that would be appropriate for the patient, and specific nursing interventions addressing the specific needs and care measures. In the discussion discharge planning and teaching should be included

 

To prepare for this assignment view the following brief video from the American Medical Association titled, “Health Literacy and Patient Safety: Help Patients Understand.” The video can be accessed through the following link:

Part I: Pamphlet
Develop a pamphlet to inform parents and caregivers about environmental factors that can affect the health of infants. Use the “Pamphlet Template” document to help you create your pamphlet. Include the following: Select an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants. Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. A minimum of three scholarly resources are required. Provide readers with two community resources, a national resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource. In developing your pamphlet, take into consideration the healthcare literacy level of your target audience.

Part II: Pamphlet Sharing Experience Share the pamphlet you have developed with a parent of an infant child. The parent may be a person from your neighborhood, a parent of an infant from a child-care center in your community, or a parent from another organization, such as a church group with which you have an affiliation. Provide a written summary of the teaching / learning interaction. Include in your summary: Demographical information of the parent and child (age, gender, ethnicity, educational level). Description of parent response to teaching. Assessment of parent understanding. Your impressions of the experience; what went well, what can be improved.

Submit Part I and Part II of the Accident Prevention and Safety Promotion for Parents and Caregivers of Infants assignment by the end of Topic 1.

  Discussion: Health Care Policy

In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Trautman, Dr. Wakefield, and Ms. Coyle discuss how public policies initiated at the national or state level ultimately influence what occurs at the institutional and local level of nursing practice and health care delivery. Health care policy usually is developed to address health care cost, quality, or access, or a combination of the three. Due to the nature of their interaction with patients, nurses are well situated to be effective, knowledgeable advocates for their patients.

In this week’s Discussion, you will examine how current policies impact how you as a nurse provide health care. You will then select an issue of interest and determine how you could advocate for policy in that area. 

                                                   To prepare:

Select one public policy that currently is impacting you and your practice. Consider the following:

What health care driver was the policy designed to address: cost, quality, access, or a combination?

Does the policy appear to be achieving its intended results? On what data are you basing your assumption?

What have been the effects (adverse or positive) of this policy on health care cost, quality, and access?

How is this policy affecting your nursing practice?

Next, select a health care issue—something you see or experience on a daily basis—about which you would like to influence a practice change through the policy process. 

Review the Learning Resources, focusing on Kingdon’s Model. How would you utilize this model to guide your policy development?

Post a brief description of a public policy that is having an impact on your practice; summarize your analysis of the policy using the bulleted list above as a guide. Then, summarize the issue you would like to influence though a change in public policy, and outline how you would utilize Kingdon’s Model to guide your policy development.
