Create an visual presentation using PowerPoint in which you provide discharge instructions for a patient.

In this patient-centered final project you will provide patient with education about effective self-care to prevent readmission. Remember to use accessible, professional language demonstrating caring behaviors with use of therapeutic communication as you anticipate any questions or concerns patients might have.  Be sure to include specific tools and resources (such as apps, support groups, handouts, credible web sources) to support health promotion and the management of her care.  Use a minimum of four scholarly references to cite the current evidence-based practices to support your content. 

Include discharge teaching with evidence-based practice (EBP) instructions and specific resources for the following six areas:

Diabetes

– Include diet and      nutrition, exercise, blood glucose monitoring (signs and symptoms of      hypo/hyperglycemia), and preventing complications (infections,      dehydration)

Asthma

– Include EBP about      identifying and avoiding triggers, long-term management and management of      exacerbations

Activity

– Include EBP about      activity level, ambulation, use of air boot, and injury prevention      (modifying environment)

Medications

– Include      instructions about indications, side effects (how to monitor and manage),      and administration.
