Week 2 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.
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.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following
Course Outcome.
CO#1: Describe patient-care technologies as appropriate to
address the needs of a diverse patient population. (PO#1)
CO#5: Identify patient care technologies, information
systems, and communication devices that support safe nursing practice. (PO#5)
Points
This assignment is worth a total of 175 points.
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

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.
