Health care professional/individual as client teaching and learning

Case 1
John is a retired 57-year-old man with a 5-year history of type 2 diabetes. He was diagnosed with
diabetes in 2010 but he had symptoms indicating hyperglycemia for 2 years before diagnosis. He
had fasting blood glucose records indicating values of 118–127 mg/dl, which were described to
him as indicative of “borderline diabetes.” His doctor has been encouraging to lose weight (at
least 10 kg. as he currently weights 100 kg and is 180 cm tall. Write learning objectives to guide your teaching about the importance of weight loss related to type 2 diabetes.
Based on this case study, a clear, measureable objective must be written for each of the 3
domains – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Assignment 2 must be submitted, marked and
returned to you prior to submitting assignment 3. Assignment 2 is foundational to assignment 3
so ensure you consider your tutor’s feedback.
Evaluation Criteria for Assignment 2 – Writing Learning Objectives
Assignment 2 should include the following:
Articulate 3 objectives – one for each domain cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Be certain
each of the objectives you develop is at minimum:
learner-centered
discrete
written in clear, measurable terms
reflective of your assigned case study
reasonable for a 3 minute teaching session
Provide rationale including integration of theoretical knowledge, that is, evidence based practice
to support each objective.
Provide evidence of application of course concepts and references of external sources as
needed to support each learner centered objective.

Conflict Resolution Case Study (APN Nurse Role)

Questions

At times the needs of our families conflict with our work responsibilities. Could this possibly be the underlying issue here?
Explain the conflict resolution skills displayed by the leader in the scenario. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate those of the leader.
How might earlier collaboration have been beneficial? What other leadership skills should be used?

Case Scenario

“Thank you for agreeing to talk to me about the discussion we had the other day about assigning patient load. As I started to say in the meeting but got interrupted, it is that I really don’t like the new plan that we have. I like the old one better and I don’t understand why we need to change.

I think that they expressed one concern about visiting patients in Iron Ridge. And that is the key as they were with high crime rate. We all recognize this issue. I do understand, but the new patient assignment scheme is meant to match you with a patient who will most benefit from your specialty and not where you live geographically.

There are many patients in Iron Ridge who have diabetes that need your expertise. [BLANK_AUDIO] Well, I really do love my patients, and I don’t hold it against them that they live in a bad part of town. But frankly, I’m afraid. Every night when I watch the news, there’s somebody that’s been involved in a shooting or a carjacking.

I talked to my husband about it, and he said that if you insist I go over there, he wants me to quit because it’s not safe. [BLANK_AUDIO] I have an idea I would like to explore with you. What if we sent an escort to accompany you on your visit?

Would this help you feel safer in that neighborhood? Sure it would, but do you think that’s realistic? The last I heard, we didn’t have any money to give us nurses raises and bonuses. I mean, do we even have the budget for something like security? It’s realistic as long as I can justify the safety of our nurses.

Let’s say the cost is a barrier to this scheme. What do you think? [BLANK_AUDIO] Well let me think about it. I need to talk to my husband too. I can’t decide right now. But you’ve given me something to consider.”
