Health Medical Homework Help. PGCC Nursing Anti Depressants Diuretics Presentation
Client education is a key aspect of the medication administration process. The registered nurse must properly educate clients about a medication prior to administering it. Registered nurses must also have appropriate tools and instructional resources in order to properly educate clients, such as an education pamphlet, handout, brochure, or video demonstration depending on the client’s learning style. Students will select one specific medication from the classifications listed below and provide client education for the selected medication. The student must send the course faculty their top three (3) medication classification choices for the assignment by week five (5) as well as the type of instructional resource you will provide (i.e. song, commercial, pamphlet, handout, brochure, advertisement, social media campaign, children’s book, website, etc.) and your target audience. The topic selections will be on a first come, first serve basis and the topics are divided equally between students in the course. If no choice is submitted, the course faculty will assign the topic, target audience, and instructional resource.
The target audience must be identified to determine the appropriate instructional resource; the target audience must be identified on the instructional resource. The instructional resource should be tailored to your specific target audience. The instructional resource should not include medical jargon, abbreviations, or acronyms. It should read at a 6th grade reading level or at the reading level of your target audience. It must be your own original concept, idea, and layout. Use of APA format is required for this assignment. Printed resources should be in an easy-to-read font and clear graphics must be displayed. The topic information must flow into the next subject matter. Please remember, this assignment is targeting a person that is NOT a nursing student or in the medical field! Be sure to select an instructional resource that will cover all of the criteria. When submitting the assignment please indicate the type of resource, assigned medication classification, your name, as well as the target audience on/with the resource!
