Week 1 discussion
Discussion 1
This discussion prompt refers to the Pathways to Safer
Opioid Use simulation.
After participating in the Pathways to Safer Opioid Use
simulation exercise, reflect on the following.
Have you empowered a patient to believe they could make
needed lifestyle modifications irrespective of the barriers that exist in their
environment? Please provide examples. If so, you were engaged in health
promotion activities as part of your nursing role.
Where there any strategies used in this simulation exercise
that you use to improve patient health literacy? Are there any that you use
that were not mentioned here? In your experience, how effective are these
strategies?
What are some of the biggest challenges you encounter when
trying to improve health literacy? What solutions can you offer to manage these
challenges?
Discussion 2
Choose two emerging populations, such as Latino/Hispanic
Americans, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, or Black/African Americans. How
do health issues differ between the two populations?
