Assignment: How Illnesses and
Injuries Affect the Mind
Health
complications can be stressful, especially in more vulnerable populations like
young children and the elderly. With stress and loss of function often come
depression and other psychological manifestations. As a nurse, part of your job
is to recognize and educate patients and caregivers on how to deal with the
psychological complications of a health crisis.
Develop
a teaching plan for treating the potential psychological issues that may result
from health crises in either the elderly or young children. You will use
PowerPoint to present your teaching plan. Some considerations to make include:
·
In what ways does mental health need to be
considered across the illness/injury continuum?
·
How can nurses help both patients and
caregivers work through mental blocks and depression associated with an illness
or injury?
·
Although treatment will take place in a
medical facility, how can non-medical treatments be used as a supplement?
Include the main elements of your presentation to
a group of parents or elderly or their caregivers. This PowerPoint presentation
should include between 8–10 slides. It will be assessed using the How Illnesses
and Injuries Affect the Mind Rubric. Prior to submitting your Assignment, make
sure to review the rubric, which is located in the Course Information area.
