Week 10 question
Assignment 1: Application – Patient Education on Stroke
Prevention
A stroke is a serious disorder that impacts patients
quickly, requiring immediate intervention and treatment. Due to implications of
this disorder, patient education is essential for patient populations at an
increased risk of stroke. According to the National Stroke Association, up to
80% of strokes can be prevented in patients (National Stroke Association,
2012). For this reason, it is essential that you provide patients with the
education and tools necessary to reduce their risk as well as identify signs
and symptoms of strokes. In this Assignment, you have the opportunity to give
back to your practicum site by creating media to educate patients about stroke
prevention. When designing patient education media such as flyers, posters, and
music, it is important to consider strategies that meet the needs of the
patient population you treat at your practicum site.
Note: This Assignment is the focus of the week’s Discussion
and should be completed and ready to post by Day 4.
To prepare:
Review the stroke prevention articles in this week’s
Learning Resources.
Reflect on common lifestyle, behavioral, and cultural
choices of the population that you treat within your practicum setting.
Consider stroke prevention methods for this population.
Think about ways to educate patients on these prevention
methods. Consider educational pieces such as flyers, posters, or other media
that might be most effective with your patient population.
To complete:
Design a media piece to educate patients on stroke
prevention. You may create a flyer, poster, or any other media that is suitable
for your patient population.
By Day 7 of Week 11
This Assignment is due. Prior to your final submission, be
sure to use the feedback your colleagues provide in the Discussion to further
refine your stroke prevention media.
