Community Education: Text, Stanhope & Lancaster 10th Ed. :Community is 55 and older.
Education is one of the key interventions nurses use to prevent and treat illnesses. Based on your community assessment, pick one issue to address in your community and sketch out a teaching plan appropriate to address.
1. What health related topic is of key importance to your community and how did you determine this topic is a priority?
2. Explain other disciplines or stakeholders to involve to address this health concern. Best outcomes are achieved from a multidisciplinary approach to address issues.
3. Write 2 objectives to address this topic.
4. Identify 3 interventions – a primary intervention, secondary intervention, and tertiary intervention.
Examples of issues: limited availability of specialists in cardiology, arthritis management, home health services, public health services like screening, mammogram, and diabetic clinic.
