Week 2 Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health Application
PowerPoint
Purpose
The purpose
of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an
educator. You are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a
specific patient that you identify. Your guide or handout should help this
patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile health, or mHealth application
(app) that is already developed. This may be related to the patient's disease
process or diagnosis, or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or
improve good health, and prevent illness.
You will
develop the guide using Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile
application that lets you design slideshows and handouts. For this assignment,
you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout that you may print
and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint file
for grading.
