Primary prevention
answer
Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from ever occurring. Primary prevention includes health promotion, environmental protection, and specific protection against disease or injury. In primary prevention, health promotion includes education in many forms such as nutrition and sex education. Counseling, family planning, and the promotion of physical activity are other forms of health promotion. Environmental protection includes sanitation, air quality control, and food, workplace, and home safety. Specific protection against disease or injury includes preventions such as immunizations, use of seatbelts and infants' car seats, preconception folic acid supplementation, and reduction of human exposure to carcinogenic agents
question
secondary prevention
answer
refers to education that will allow prevention or allow a patient that has a disease to have early diagnosis, which can allow time to cure the disease. Health screenings are at the core of secondary prevention and are very important. Blood pressure screenings, screening for breast can using mammograms for example are secondary forms of prevention. Usually secondary prevention takes place in community settings
question
tertiary prevention
answer
includes interventions that limit disability or interventions that enhance rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disability. For example if a patient has elevated blood pressures that were not controlled by diet and exercise then the patient may be referred to a doctor medication and received referrals for other specialist such as a cardiologist. Examples of tertiary prevention are medical treatment, physical and occupational therapy, and rehabilitation

question
Describe the three learning domains.
answer
Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used to classify educational learning objectives into three levels of learning. Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are summarized below and discussed further in your readings:
question
Discuss health literacy
answer
is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions (UNC Health Sciences Library, 2018). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Title V, defines health literacy as the degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions (CDC.gov).
question
Identify steps in preparing a teaching plan.
answer
1. Assess Learning Needs & Readiness 2. Determine Learning Needs 3. Develop Learning Outcomes 4. Develop a Teaching Plan 5. Implement Teaching Plan and Strategies 6. Evaluate Learning
question
Cognitive Learning
answer
- requires intellectual behaviors and focuses on thinking. It involves knowledge (learning thenew information), comprehension (understanding the new information), application (using the new information in aconcrete way), analysis (organizing the new information), synthesis (using the knowledge for a new outcome), andevaluation (determining the effectiveness of learning the new information).
question
Affective Learning
answer
- involves feelings, beliefs, and values. Hearing the instructor's words, responding verbally and nonverbally, valuing the content or believing that it is worth learning, creating a method for identifying values and resolving differences, and employing values consistently in decision-making.
question
Psychomotor Learning
answer
- gaining skills that require mental and physical activity. Psychomotor learning relies on perception (or sensory awareness), set (readiness to learn), guided response (task performance with an instructor),mechanism (increased confidence allowing for more complex learning), adaptation (the ability to alter performance when problems arise), and origination (use of skills to perform complex tasks that require creating new skills).
question
Evaluate Learning
answer
- Evaluate whether the learning objectives were met. Determine if your teaching was effective? Would you revise any teaching for future sessions? Revise the plan if learner outcome(s) were not met. Determine follow-up and resources. Document the teaching- learning process.
question
Implement Teaching Plan and Strategies
answer
- Prepare the physical environment, deliver effective communication, secure audiovisual equipment, deliver the information. Be flexible, keep the sessions short, and vary teaching strategies used. Relate the material to the learner's life experiences, plan for evaluation of learning, and assess feedback (verbal and non-verbal). Remember the Acronym TEACH to maximize the effectiveness of patient teaching.
question
Develop a Teaching Plan
answer
- Select content, content sequencing and appropriate teaching strategies for the selected topic. Health topics can include such areas as promoting health, preventing illness, restoring health, and facilitating coping. Consider the patient's learning style, interests, and resources. Explore time constraints and the physical environment in which the teaching will occur. Consider the SMOG calculator when developing teaching materials. SMOG can be used to assess the readability of text used in educational information. Health literacy will be discussed in greater detail later on in this module. Smog Calculator (Links to an external site.)
question
Develop Learning Outcomes
answer
- Identify SMART goals ; determine learning domains, prioritize & include the learner. Refer to Bloom's taxonomy to assist you with the level of learning and appropriate "verbs" to use for each. Think about how you will evaluate learning from the goals developed.
question
Determine Learning Needs
answer
- Make sure they are realistic and validated through interactions with the patient/ family.
question
Assess Learning Needs & Readiness
answer
Identify knowledge, skills or attitudes needed by the learner. Assess their readiness to learn and factors affecting their ability to grasp the content. Consider the learner's physical maturity, psychosocial development and cognitive ability.
question
Infants :
answer
Teaching is directed towards the parents.
question
Preschool Children:
answer
If teaching is geared toward young children, material should be presented in a simplistic manner, including only basic facts and concrete examples. Digital games, animations, "hands on" demonstrations are beneficial to relay the information. Consider the shorter attention span and increased need for nurturing, support and creativity when teaching children.
question
School Age Children:
answer
The teaching learning process for school aged children should take into considered the logical reasoning abilities they have. Clear explanations and reasons for care activities can be presented using creative learning activities. Information presented should be presented in a simple and logical manner. Adult reinforcement of information presented is needed.
question
Adolescents:
answer
Teaching is similar to adults so content and strategies resemble those. Such considerations as the adolescent's maturational level, peer group, need for independence and a trusting relationship ] should not be overlooked.
question
Adults:
answer
As adults age, teaching is varied according to personalities and and learning abilities. Adults must see the need for learning before being willing to learn new skills, procedures, etc. Motivational skills complement the teaching- learning process when working with adults. As aging occurs, sensory deficits, limited physical mobility, and the inability to comply with a recommended regimen are teaching considerations. Allowing additional time , shorter teaching sessions, and reduction of environmental distractions contribute to successful teaching (Nigolian & Miller, 2011).

question
Using the Teach Back Technique
answer
is a quick method for health care professionals to check how well the learner has understood information presented. This includes having the nurse demonstrate and observing the patient and/ or family repeat back or perform the desired skill (Arkansas State University, 2018).
question
"See one, do one, teach one" (SODOTO)
answer
relates to the traditional method of teaching in surgery characterized by the American surgeon William Stewart Halsted. Medical trainees were expected to be capable of performing a certain procedure after observing one being performed. Subsequently after performing it, they should also be able to teach others. (European Medical Journal, 2014). SODOTO is widely used in health education today.
question
Discuss health literacy impact on patient care
answer
is prevalent in all ethnicities, sexualities, and genders. A person with health illiteracy cannot follow simple instructions. For example, they cannot read the side effects on a medicine bottle, understand a campaign about the risks of a drug overdose, or vaccination clinics advertised on posters (Worldliteracyfoundation.org).
