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
- Wound care – Include EBP about monitoring and cleansing her wound with bid dressing changes
- 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.
- albuterol MDI 2 puffs every four hours as needed
- insulin glargine 10 units subcutaneous at bedtime
- metformin 850 mg by mouth twice a day
- linezolid 600 mg PO Q12hours for 10 days
- oxycodone 5 mg/acetaminophen 500 mg by mouth three times a day as needed for pain
- promethazine 25 mg every four hours as needed for nausea
- insulin lispo sliding scale for blood glucose as following:
- 70-130=0 units
- 131-180=2 units
- 181-240=4 units
- 241-300=6 units
- 301-350=8 units
- 351-400=10 units and call your doctor
6. Follow up – Include information about preventative and routine health care recommendation exams/appointments and when to seek urgent medical care (going to ER or notifying primary care provider).
