the benchmark assesses the following competencies:

3.3 Provide individualized education to diverse patient populations in a variety of health care settings.

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Based on the feedback offered by the provider, identify the best approach for teaching. Prepare a presentation based on the Teaching Work Plan and present the information to your community.

Select one of the following options for delivery and prepare the applicable presentation:

1. PowerPoint presentation – no more than 30 minutes
2. Pamphlet presentation – 1 to 2 pages

Advocates speak on behalf of other people whose voices are not heard by the wider community and government. Advocates work with policy-makers, legislative bodies, and healthcare organizations to solve the needy population’s proposed problems and alternatives. It is a nurse’s role to speak up for the patients, fellow nurses, and the profession. Nurses can advocate for children, the mentally ill, and those less informed about health care policies and individual rights. The American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics states that “The nurse promotes, advocates for, and protects the patient’s rights, health, and safety.” Nurses can advocate for nurses by involving legislators such as Congressmen and women, arranging marches, and engaging healthcare organizations that fight for patients’ rights Regis (College, n.d.). To effectively advocate for patients, nurse leaders should first evaluate patients’ needs, personal values, and their level of awareness. Secondly, they should identify patient goals such as choices of treatment options. The leaders should then set advocacy plans that involve different members of the healthcare team. After engaging all stakeholders, the leaders should evaluate the advocacy results by taking into account patient satisfaction. Examples of advocacy include advocacy with the medical facility, the legal system, families, and the community.

There are several strategies that a leader can used to create positive change in the workplace. The one strategy I find interesting is understanding behavior. Nursing is a stressful job, and stress is handled differently from person to person. A leader that takes the time to understand what makes a staff member tick can go a long way. Dealing with stress is not a one size fit all solution, and it should be tackled at an individual level. Helping a co-worker to find their “trigger” points can help them manage their reactions and responses more appropriately. One way to understand behavior is have team members answer a Belvin assessment. This assessment examines what roles a person brings to the workplace, how they fit with the team, and the contribution of roles to the team. The nine team roles than can be identified are plant (creativity), resource investigator, coordinator, shaper, team worker, implementer, completer finisher, specialist, monitor evaluator. The purpose of this evaluation is to understand a preferred role and explain why we relate well to some people and have conflicts with others. Also, it helps us to understand our strengths and weaknesses (Middleton, NA).

This week, your assignment is going to be pieced together. You have created a business, identified trending issues, identified possible other ethical issues and done your best to get all of your employees on board.

All that is left is the presentation itself. For your submission this week you are asked to put together a PowerPoint presentation for your employees with accompanying/corresponding presenter notes for your reader. The PowerPoint slide presentation itself will include what is ethically expected of your employees on a day to day basis, all identified trending issues from Module 02, and all identified possible issues from Module 03 and guidance on what actions employees should be taking in these ethical dilemmas.

Given the fact that you are not presenting this PowerPoint and because a PowerPoint cannot present itself, you are asked to include accompanying “reader/presenter” notes in the notes section below each slide. These are the key notes that describe, explain and teach what the slide is trying to convey. Please note that a PowerPoint is not generally wordy and paragraphs should not be included on a slide. The slide itself is used as a visual for the audience and the notes section, which would be read by the presenter, is where the substance comes in.

Keep in mind it is HR’s job to expose all dilemmas that may plague their company or employees and adequately educate all employees so these concerns are not encountered in the workplace.

Your PowerPoint must be creative and a minimum of 10 slides not including the introduction or the reference slide.

Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Case Scenario:

Mr. Kasich is a 77-year old who was recently taken to the emergency room after he fell when trying to get out of bed. There, he was found to have a blood glucose level of 35 milligrams per deciliter and was diagnosed with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia despite many years of well-maintained the blood glucose levels. After further assessment, Mr. Kasich was transferred to a medical room in the hospital. His background includes diagnosed with type two diabetes mellitus, advanced congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Has Medicare parts A and B. Lives with wife in a remote area that is 40 miles from the closest healthcare provider. Is proficient using his home computer. Mr. Lane is a 42-year old who was admitted for exacerbation of heart failure. His background includes has diabetes mellitus type two. Is a long-haul truck driver with a large trucking company. Is privately insured. Is single and primarily lives in his truck. Both Mr. Kasich and Mr. Lane are going home with telehealth consisting of a telemonitoring device that transmits weight, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and pulse oximetry to a remote telehealth nurse. Even though the use of telehealth does not often include hands on interaction, the goal of keeping patients out of a hospital is consistent with quality nursing practice. Telehealth applications are designed to enhance the patient experience and improve clinical outcomes while providing care for patients in their home environment rather than an institutional setting. Telehealth supports self-care by empowering patients, which is a central tenet of nursing practice.

Review the case scenario above and address the following.

• Discuss how telehealth can assist to address equality of health care resource distribution. What barriers must be removed to achieve well-being, sufficiency, and health care access for all? 
• In your discussion, consider concepts such as equity, respect, self-determinism, health literacy, cyclic disadvantage, and health care disparities among marginalized populations or groups.
• Compare and contrast how each patient may benefit from telehealth services and the ethical considerations from the viewpoint of the nurse

Please review the Graduate Discussion Grading Guidelines and Rubric  (Links to an external site.)for complete discussion requirements.

• Briefly describe your community and then describe your practice setting.
• What are the determinants of health in your community? (https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/foundation-health-measures/Determinants-of-Health)
• What are the most prevalent health problems in your community or in your practice?
• Choose a population at risk and describe the health problem specific to that population. Remember that you will have to define the population’s age, culture, religious beliefs, foods, and traditions eventually as your project progresses.
