Community Health Nursing

Unit: Roles of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Prevention

 

Introduction

          I am Krista and I am your instructor for this course. I work PRN 4 (weekends) at the large hospital in my area in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I also work Flex at the small community hospital in my area in the Intensive care unit; since it is the smaller hospital it is a general ICU that gets every patient from “soup to nuts”. I love to teach and I am excited to help you with your journey.  In the past I have worked as a Home health Nurse, Hospice Nurse and Agency Nurse working in LTAC & Nursing homes. I am a blessed mom of three fabulous children 15, 6 and 4. We all adore our Golden Retriever named Dixie and our Guinea Pig Addy. I enjoy bowling and going to the beach. I love to soak up as much Vitamin D as I can (with sunscreen on of course). Looking forward to a great semester with you all!

Course Description

         

This course will broaden the concepts of community health nursing. Emphasis is placed on increasing the students’ self-awareness, communicating effectively, and meeting the community health needs of families and groups. Health education, health promotion, and illness prevention are stressed as strategies for meeting the health needs of population aggregates. Public health nursing issues, such as communicable diseases, environmental hazards, and occupational exposures are discussed. Roles of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary prevention are examined.

Unit of Instruction

          This unit will be based on Primary, Secondary and Tertiary prevention. Within this unit the learner will be expected to be able to define the three levels of prevention and how nurses can impact a patient in each level by one nursing intervention. The learning will be measured by each learner presenting a care plan for each Primary, Secondary and Tertiary prevention with one nursing intervention for each.

(I did make a VOKI however it wanted me to pay to publish it and I’m not doing that for one time, only choice was to buy for a year).

          As the learner you will benefit from this unit of instruction because it will assist you to become an active community resource for disease prevention and/or exacerbation. Your active participation to enhance and reinforce learning is expected and required. You are to view all modules every week and be an active part of all discussions including at least one initial reply with a source supporting your thoughts.

Outcomes

 Outcomes include:

1. Learner will be able to describe Primary Prevention in the Community Setting. (Measuring comprehension level in Bloom’s taxonomy by demonstrating an understanding of the facts).

2. Learner will be able to modify a care plan for a member in the community who requires Secondary Prevention in the community. (Measuring application level in Bloom’s taxonomy by applying knowledge to actual situations).

3. Learner will be able to choose two ways to prevent further physical deterioration and maximizing quality of life in a community member with chronic disease. (Measuring evaluation level in Bloom’s taxonomy by making and defending judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria).

Learner Centered Approach

 

My chosen teaching methods are congruent with the learning domain(s) and with the learning objectives. I will use a blended environment within this unit of instruction that provides a learner-centered approach and guided learning. The new content will be merged with prior learning by questioning the learners and assisting them to make connections.

Reflection

 

I unfortunately could not create a final web page in Moodle describing the experience of using the course management system to facilitate the learning of the students. I am not sure if the issue is within my computer or virus scan system or a part of the course that is not working like it does in every other course. However, I then attempted Webquest, which I have used in teaching my clinical LPN students and I am at my limit and need to pay more, so I was left with a blogger. I then also discovered that Voki will also charge so I did create one however I cannot pay to publish it. In reflecting on my use of a course management system in your future teaching endeavors and lessons learned I will use the system that the university has license to. That way everything I set up will be compatible and already paid for. If I find a program that I would really like to use that teaches effectively I will present it to the Dean to see if we can add to our available programs.
