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.
The Patient Education Technology Guide to a Mobile Health Application PowerPoint assignment is due in Week
2. Submit your completed assignment. You may consult the Policies section in the Introduction & Resources
module for details regarding late assignments. Late assignments will result in loss of points. Post questions
about this assignment in the Course Q & A Forum.
Directions
Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create slides, which will be the basis of the guide or handout. You are required to
cite your source(s) as it relates to your application slide. Other citations are permitted, but this is not a
requirement for the assignment.
Title slide (first slide): Include a title slide with your name and the title of the presentation.
Scenario Slide (one slide): This slide should include a brief scenario, then identify a patient who is
experiencing a specific disease process or diagnosis who would benefit from an already developed and
reliable mHealth app. Or it could identify a person who is currently healthy and would like to maintain or
improve health and prevent illness. Be sure to include the nurse’s assessment of the patient’s learning needs
and readiness to learn. Be specific.
