evidence-based teaching plan that promotes health as well as improves patient outcomes.
COURSE OUTCOMES
This assignment enables the student to meet the following Course Outcomes.
CO #4: Identify teaching/learning needs from the health history of an individual. (PO #2)
POINTS
This assignment is worth a total of 250 points.
DUE DATE
The assignment is to be submitted to the Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 6. Post

DIRECTIONS
Prepare a patient teaching plan for your participant based on the information you discovered in your
previous assignments. Present your plan using Microsoft PowerPoint.
Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your name and title of the presentation.
Introduction/Identification (two to three slides): Introduce a modifiable risk factor (diet, smoking,
activity, etc.) that will be the focus of your presentation.
o Identify at least one important finding you discovered in Milestone 1 that is associated with
this risk factor.
o Explain how this places your adult participant at increased risk for developing a preventable
disease (obesity, Type II Diabetes, etc.), which is described.
o List short and long-term goals.
Intervention (four to five slides): Choose one evidence-based intervention related to the modifiable
risk factor chosen that has been shown to be effective at reducing an individual’s risk for developing
the preventable disease.
o Describe the intervention in detail.
o Provide rationale to support the use of this intervention. Support your rationale with
information obtained from one scholarly source as well as Healthy People 2020

Evaluation (three to four slides): Describe at least one evaluation method that you would use to
determine whether your intervention is effective. Outcome measurement is a crucial piece when
implementing interventions.
o Describe at least one method (weight, lab values, activity logs, etc.) you would use to
evaluate whether your intervention was effective.
o Describe the desired outcomes you would track that would show whether your intervention
is working.
o Include additional steps to be considered if your plan proved to be unsuccessful.
Summary (one to two slides): Reiterate the main points of the presentation and conclude with what
you are hoping to accomplish as a result of implementing the chosen intervention.
References (last slide): List the references for sources that were cited in the presentation.
Remember, you are creating a patient teaching plan so be sure to include terms easily understood by the
general population and limit your use of medical jargon. Slides should include the most important elements
for them to know in short bullet-pointed phrases. You may add additional comments in the notes section to
clarify information for your instructor.
GUIDELINES
Application: Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 (or later).
Length: The PowerPoint slide show is expected to be no more than 14 slides in length (not including
the title slide and References list slide).
Submission: Submit your files to the Dropbox: Milestone 2: Patient Teaching Plan, by 11:59 p.m.
Sunday end of Week 6.
Save the assignment with your last name in the file’s title: Example: Smith Patient Teaching Plan.
