...Reflection on teaching experience St.Urbin Webb Grand Canyon University Community/Public Nursing November 30th 2014 Summary For the community teaching experience exercise, I taught a group of twelve students at Park Vista High School about Chlamydia as one of the most common STD. The exercise took about 45 minutes in which I introduced the topic and discussed the issues broadly and distributed pamphlets that I had prepared. The lesson centered on teaching them about ways of protecting themselves against this disease and its spread, symptoms and signs of the disease, screening and testing and also basic information about the disease. The most effective method of protection against the disease among high school students is abstaining from sex as unsafe sex is the most common method of transmission. The other way is through practicing safe sex by using latex condoms. Studies have shown that latex condoms are better than natural membrane condoms. Polyurethane female condoms have also been found to be effective. Signs and symptoms of the diseases are not well pronounced in some cases hence individuals need to be regularly screened for the infection which is recommended twice a year for the sexually active youth. Where symptoms are pronounced in females, they include vagina irritation, vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain and a burning feeling with urination. The disease is best handled through early screening and treatment. Delayed detection of the disease can lead...

The parent may be a person from your neighborhood, a parent of an infant from a child-care center in your community, or a parent from another organization, such as a church group with which you have an affiliation. 2. Provide a written summary of the teaching / learning interaction. Include in your summary: a. Demographical information of the parent and child (age, gender, ethnicity, educational level). b. Description of parent response to teaching. c. Assessment of parent understanding. d. Your impressions of the experience; what went well, what can be improved. Education is one of the many roles a nurse is responsible for. There are many steps a nurse must take before beginning an education session with an individual and I always try to consider these steps before I perform any education. After assessing the readiness to learn, educational level, and learning type of the individuals I intended to share my pamphlet with, in order to modify my teaching techniques if needed, I was able to educate them with a very positive result. I chose to share my pamphlet with a mother and father of a 3 ½ year-old girl and a 16 month-old boy. The mother was 28 year-old and was Caucasian and the father was a 43 year -old man of Hispanic and Filipino decent. The mother had father had been married...

...Planning Before Teaching The community health nurse would first need to assess the area. Learn what areas are at the highest risk for hurricanes and what areas are closest to the many military bases. The nurse would need to become familiar with the area’s current evacuation plan and safe-zone areas. The nurse would need to learn about the warning alerts that may be used in the area and the emergency numbers or radio stations that provide updated information. The nurse would need to prepare information by using power points and pamphlets in different languages and, if applicable, age specific. Information regarding when to evacuate, where to go and what items to have ready in an emergency kit would be included in the power points and pamphlets ("Virginia Gov," 2013). The nurse would need to look into funding and possible donations that might help members of the community put together their emergency kit. Involving area businesses in the planning and possible donation of supplies could be beneficial. The nurse should involve local police, fire and hospitals in the planning. Assessing for a location for the teaching to be given would need to be done. The area for the teaching would need to be large and easily accessible to members of the community. The nurse would need to have language interpreters available during the teaching to ensure that the information is understood by all. The date and time for the teaching would need to be set as well. Setting the date and time for maximum...

The information presented includes statistical analysis and detailed information on potential risks of injury and death related to falls among the elderly. It also highlights prevention methods that can be utilized in an attempt to decrease Emergency Room visits secondary to falls. My target audience consisted of 18 senior citizens who reside at Heartfield Assisted Living Facility in Cary, NC. The median age of this group was 78 years old. A wheelchair with faulty brakes, oxygen tubing and a quad cane were used for props and demonstrations of safe vs. unsafe use. My teaching plan followed the pamphlet that was created for the teaching assignment. I chose this format as I felt it would be helpful to provide a resource for seniors to reference after completion of the session. The title of the pamphlet is Falls: Risks, Facts, Prevention; Understanding potential hazards and how to promote safety. The pamphlet/teaching was broken down into three categories: facts and statistics related to falls in the elderly, fall risks and prevention methods.

...Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper Gayatri Gajaria NRS 427V Grand Canyon University December 22, 2014 Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper For this assignment, I chose my community in city of Montclair, CA. The teaching was done at Montclair Christian Church. The target audience for this teaching plan was parents of infants, pregnant women, and the topic I addressed was Fall Prevention. Falls occurs most frequently in infants when they are trying to explore their environment and can lead to head injury and many fatalities. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries for all children ages 0 to 19. Every day, approximately 8,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms for fall-related injuries. This adds up to almost 2.8 million children each year” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,2012). Falls can be prevented and many fatalities can be avoided. This is the epidemiological rationale for choosing this topic. Infant falls can be traumatizing for the parents and the infants. There are many ways parents can protect their infants from falling. Most of the time, majority of the falls occur at home. They result from infants falling from bed, sofa, chairs, stairs; changing tables etc. When infants fall they can get injured easily. “Minor head trauma is frequent among infants and leads to numerous visits to emergency departments for neurological assessment to evaluate...

...Community Teaching Work Plan Community Teaching Work Plan Concepts in Community and Public Health Community Teaching Work Plan Proposed Community Teaching A disaster is described as an event that causes great damage and loss of life. The world is changing fast, more people are becoming vulnerable to disasters or are forced to cope with acts of violence, financial crises and growing uncertainty, often without adequate support from their governments. With new challenges to humanitarian coordination, concerns over standards and accountability, more capable states and National Societies exercising leadership over humanitarian response and presenting new opportunities to mobilize the collective resources of the IFRC in non-traditional ways, the IFRC must learn, adapt, innovate, and lead to ensure that we remain relevant and achieve greater impact with our humanitarian work. A disaster can be an earthquake, flood, fire, explosion, hurricane, or any event that is catastrophic to infrastructure and claims lives. Disasters affect the lives of thousands of people every year. Being prepared for a disaster can reduce fear and anxiety. Being prepared can also help to decrease the amount of losses that can occur. Individuals and families need to know what to do in the event of a disaster like a hurricane ("FEMA," “n.d”). Communities that consist of military bases face different risks related to disasters. They are at increased risk for nuclear accidents and acts of terrorism. For these...

...COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Tien Nguyen Grand Canyon University Concepts in Community and Public Health NRS-427V Judith Crook January 22, 2015 COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Introduction: In Seal Beach health and rehabilitation center, most of patients are in the 50s and the majority have problems with controlling the blood pressure. Even though there are medical interventions such as antihypertensive medications, most of patients have not understood the important of other restrictions and activities or many other interventions to control the blood pressure. Therefore, the proposed teaching plan provides patients the essential knowledge of how to control hypertension and additional interventions after discharge including a healthy diet and a active lifestyle. However, there are some barriers during introducing the teaching plan to the community or encouraging patients to make lifestyle changes. This paper describes the experience after the hypertension teaching session, the audience’s response, and better approach which can be done to improve the audiences’ health. Epidemiological Rationale for the Topic: According to data from the CDC, more than 67 million (1 in every 3) adults in the U.S. have lived with high blood pressure problems; 53% of those have been controlled by hypertensive medical advice. In California, an estimated of 27% adults have hypertensive problem in 2009 ("CDC," 2014). In 2010, hypertension are one of the most popular health problem in many communities...

The young lady that was part of the teaching/learning experience is a 20 year old African-American, single parent that completed high school but no college experience. Her daughter is six months old and considered to be healthy in development. For the remainder of this summary, I will use the letters TB in place of the mother’s name and IB for the daughter’s name. I explained the pesticides could enter IB’s body through her skin, lungs, mouth, and her eyes. (Mott, 1997) At 6 months of age, IB’s skin is her largest organ and her skin surface is twice that of an adult per unit of body weight. TB was very adamant that her daughter was not exposed to pesticides. We reviewed the pamphlet and TB saw that IB could be directly exposed to pesticides brought into her home on clothes or exhaled from an adult’s lungs. As we continued to review the pamphlet, she was surprised to learn that some of the pesticides could come from the food that she ate and could have been passed to her daughter even during...

...In education, it can be hard to capture the interest of the audience. This is especially true of adult audiences who may find it daunting to change their lifestyles. In order to provide concrete, practical information and to garner interest, creative elements should be used. One fun method to incorporate would be to have a cooking class, or demonstration. This will give people a chance to see lifestyle change in action, and will be fun to take part in. The American Diabetes Association has published many small brochures that have recipes and tips on how to change one's diet. One of them is called “Latin Flavor in the Kitchen”(“Por tu familia”). Using a recipe from the pamphlet and distributing the pamphlet during the class would be a beneficial asset. Planned Evaluation of Objectives (Outcome Evaluation): Describe what you will measure for each objective and how. At the end of presentation, participants will name one healthy food choice in each of the five food groups. Cereal in grain groups, an apple is in fruit groups, vegetable juice in vegetable groups, Yogurt in milk groups, cooked lean meat in meat groups. At the end of presentation, participants will have adequate information to prevent or control diabetes by self-management , and lifestyle changes.
