NUR 641E Week 6 CLC Assignment, Staff Training: 2022

NUR 641E Week 6 Assignment: CLC - Staff Training
This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

This assignment requires completion of two parts: a presentation and an educational resource.

Part I: Presentation

Create a 15- to 20-slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes for a staff training meeting on the pathophysiology and pharmacologic agents for a select disease process.

Each CLC will choose one disease process from the following list and obtain instructor approval to avoid duplication:

1. Alzheimer's disease
2. Asthma
3. Diabetes Type 2
4. Epilepsy
5. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
6. Hypertension
7. Hypothyroidism
8. Multiple sclerosis
9. Peptic ulcer disease
10. Tuberculosis

Describe the physiology and pathophysiology of the disease, clinical manifestations, and evaluation (e.g., labs, imaging).

Describe the pharmacologic treatment of the disease, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug interactions, side effects, adverse reactions, and application of the nursing process in monitoring the drug therapy.

Part II: Educational Resource

Using your selected disease process from Part I, develop an educational resource that can assist staff in increasing patient knowledge of medications and medication compliance.

The vehicle for your educational resource could include pamphlets, handouts, or any other brief, concise medium to convey the information to staff.
