use the grading rubric to create an outline of your assignment. Each section of the rubric should be a section of your final paper and could become the headings. Your assignment will be graded based on each element of the rubric. Compare each section of your paper with the rubric to ensure all elements are covered. Then, include an introduction and conclusion to tie the paper together. If you have any questions regarding the assignment please contact your instructor using the Course Help forum.
Choose a patient population that is different from your own (Example: if you are a 25 year old woman born and raised in the U.S., and only speak English, choose an older male patient who is from another race, culture, or ethnicity and who speaks limited English).
Consider the creation of a healthcare education tool for this population that incorporates technology/multimedia such as: texts, twitter, blogs, email, Youtube video, video-conferencing, Skype, computer or cell phone app, electronic brochures, electronic booklets, etc. Create the patient education tool to share with your classmates.
Tip: Patient education materials are often written at a reading level that is too difficult for the general population. A good rule of thumb is to develop education materials at the sixth grade reading level. Use this simple readability index calculator to check any text that you may incorporate into your teaching materials. Just click on the link, and when it opens, copy and paste an example from your written text. The reading level will be revealed. You can also use Microsoft word to assess the reading level of your writing by selecting review, spelling and grammar, readability statistics.
Create an audio/visual VoiceThread presentation that describes your teaching tool, the population for whom the tool was developed, and how this population differs from your own population group. Include any special learning challenges in the chosen population, how the tool is supported in the professional literature, and how it contributes to critical thinking, nursing practice, and patient outcomes. Please view the VoiceThread Guide provided in this module for instructions.
