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 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
is to be ed from a website)

Any other information you believe would be pertinent to this
situation

Be sure to cite all sources you use

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
