E:\WebQuestAssign4.wpd WebQuest on Patient Education Assignment #4 Diane Dixon Introduction Patient education and preventive medicine efforts are means by which clinicians can improve an individual’s or an entire community’s health. These efforts can be incorporated before,during,or after a disorder has been diagnosed. The ultimate goal is to prevent disease. However, once a disease has been diagnosed, the goal is to empower the patient to partner with the healthcare provider in their care and management. This small group assignment will provide students with an opportunity to identify the myriad of entities within the health education delivery system which influence decisions about accepting health information, changing unhealthy lifestyles, and promoting lifelong wellness. There are many obstacles to maintaining and improving our health, therefore, health involves our entire being and is not just a matter of repairing broken parts. Task Group Presentations: Strategies for Prevention Using the internet as the sole educational resource for this assignment, students will sign-up in groups of 6 for this project and will be required to provide an hour to one-hour and fifteen minute presentation of selected common disease states utilizing one of the following 3 educational formats: A. Role play/Skit An outline of the script for the presentation must be submitted for preapproval in a timely manner prior to the presentation. At the time of presentation, the group will submit, a typewritten copy of the role play/skit script to the course master. B. Videoclip An outline of the script of the video must be submitted for preapproval in a timely manner prior to the presentation. At the time of presentation, the group will submit, (in some type of binder), a copy of the video to the course master. C.
