SWM Module 24: Patient, Family, and Team Education

front 1

What teaching methods should Deborah use to ensure Roger and Bunny get the most out of this patient education session?

Auditory methods for Roger and visual for Bunny, providing written resources for future reference

Visual methods for Roger and Bunny, providing them with written resources for future reference

Written information for both Roger and Bunny, providing them with written resources for future reference

Use hands-on learning for both Roger and Bunny, providing written resources for future reference

back 1

Auditory methods for Roger and visual for Bunny, providing written resources for future reference.

* Auditory methods will meet Roger's needs, while visual methods are best suited for Bunny. Supplementing with written resources allows both to review the information later. Just relying on visual methods, written materials, or hands-on techniques alone would not adequately address both of their learning preferences.

Health Belief Model

back 2

The health belief model (HBM) helps assess why patients may or may not adopt healthy behaviors (Boskey, 2024). It assumes that health-related actions are motivated by the perceived threat of the health issue and the belief that health intervention will reduce the threat.

front 3

Health Belief Model

The perceived threat and net benefits are represented by four concepts (Boskey, 2022):

back 3

Perceived Susceptibility- Chances of getting the health issue

Perceived Severity- How severe the outcomes will be

Perceived Benefits- How effective the health behavior or intervention would be

Perceived Barriers- Obstacles that might prevent the use of the health behavior or intervention

front 4

Further research on HBM led to the addition of two more concepts (Boskey, 2022):

back 4

  • Cues to Action: Activates the readiness to change or triggers the person to act
  • Self-Efficacy: Level of confidence they have in performing the health behavior or intervention

front 5

How can Deborah ensure Roger fully engages and understands the information being presented?

Select all that apply.

  • Ask Roger if he understands.
  • Ask Roger open-ended questions.
  • Ask Roger if he needs Bunny to clarify anything.
  • Ask Roger to explain the information in his own words.

back 5

  • Ask Roger open-ended questions.
  • Ask Roger to explain the information in his own words.

front 6

What is an effective technique for gauging a patient's readiness to learn about their treatment?

Assume the patient is always ready to learn.

Directly ask the patient about their goals and priorities for treatment.

Provide written materials to see if they have any questions.

Schedule frequent education sessions to reinforce learning.

back 6

Directly ask the patient about their goals and priorities for treatment.

front 7

How can healthcare providers effectively assess a patient's health literacy level?

By using validated assessment tools

By determining their education level

By giving the patient standard medical forms to fill out and identifying areas they do not understand

By only asking yes or no questions about their understanding

back 7

By using validated assessment tools

front 8

To be as universally accessible as possible, at what reading level should patient education materials be written?

3rd to 4th

5th to 6th

7th to 8th

9th to 12th

back 8

5th to 6th

front 9

Which method encourages patient engagement by having them explain the information in their own words?

Health belief model

Teach-back method

Auditory learning

Hands-on learning

back 9

Teach-back method

* The teach-back method ensures the patient comprehends the information by having them explain it back.

front 10

Why is it important to use plain language when educating patients?

To teach the patient about medical terminology to use in their care

To ensure the patient can understand and utilize the information given

To reduce the time spent on education

To balance the complexity of medical terminology

back 10

To ensure the patient can understand and utilize the information given

front 11

What should a provider do if a patient shows nonverbal cues of confusion during an education session?

Continue with the session and loop back around to the topic at the end.

Provide additional resources on the topic.

Ask the patient clarifying questions at the moment.

Conclude the session early and come back to the topic at a later date.

back 11

Ask the patient clarifying questions at the moment.

front 12

Which strategy is recommended for presenting new information to patients?

Present all information at once and delve deeper into areas they do not understand.

Use only one learning style to standardize the presentation.

Chunk information into small, manageable segments.

Assume patients will ask questions if they are confused.

back 12

Chunk information into small, manageable segments.

front 13

How can healthcare providers adapt their teaching methods to individual learning preferences?

Standardizing the method used for every patient so everyone is on the same level

By asking the patient how they prefer to learn

By providing written materials and seeing if they need further support

By focusing on both written and verbal instructions
