Order Description Pamphlet The pamphlet is to be one 8x11 sheet of paper (double sided), and references also need to be included in APA format somewhere on the page. A hard copy of the pamphlet is to be handed in too. Images used need to be cited. The following sources should be used a references including 3 other sources; Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiological Approach, Canadian Edition Michael Patrick Adams Leland Holland, Ph.D., Paula Bostwick, MSN, RN, Shirley King, PhD, Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses by April Hazard Vallerand PhD RN FAAN and Cynthia A. Sanoski BS PharmD FCCP BCPS Objectives • Discuss how the principles of health teaching are used to create, administer and evaluate a medication health teaching plan • Recognize important teaching points that you will explain to the client when administering any medication Overview Learners will work pairs to create at patient teaching pamphlet. The purpose of this assignment is to teach clients about a commonly prescribed medication and create a tool that presents the information in lay terms. Each assignment will be marked based on the learner's’ understanding of the chosen medication, and ability to translate medical terminology into lay terms. The following three elements must be included in each assignment: 1. Why is the drug being prescribed? 2. Common adverse and side effects 3. At least three relevant patient teaching plus at least two health strategies that would complement drug therapy (for example, if a learner pair chooses nitroglycerin, a complementary health strategy would be diet and exercise as both reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease) What is meant by lay terms? Medical terminology can be overwhelming for any client. Translating information into lay terms means translating medical terminology into plain English. For example, a nurse explaining that a medication can cause hypo-tension may not be as effective as a nurse explaining that a medication can cause blood pressure to decrease. Learners are encouraged to use the Pharmacology text, the drug guide, and the database DYNA MED. Other academic resources are acceptable as long as they are cited appropriately. The purpose of this is to have the student focus on reliable resources. Learners need not quote course material as they are translating drug information into lay terms; however, they will be expected to cite information sources. Project Rationale Client teaching is a large aspect of the role of the nurse. Client teaching is the foundation of King’s theory of goal attainment. Client teaching also plays an important role in therapeutic communication in the Duffy Spheres of Caring. This project allows learners to develop their knowledge of pharmacology while maintaining a client focus.
