Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your
name and the 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 it could identify a person who 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 woman, 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 lifestyle 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
manage 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 the following

Name

Purpose

Intended audience

Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate

Where to or obtain it (include a working link if it

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)

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
