Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Create an appropriate evidence-based medication treatment plan for a select disease (CO1-5)
Requirements:
In Week 5, you will create a PowerPoint presentation on a primary care problem “Complicated UTIs” that is assigned to you by your professor.
1. Present a fictional patient with the assigned medical condition to address all of the following:
· Describe the most commonly prescribed drugs for the assigned condition “Complicated UTIs”.
· Provide evidence by sharing clinical guidelines, research articles, or other scholarly materials to support your findings.
· Identify barriers to practice or issues related to the condition and the use of pharmacologic treatment, including potential issues related to cultural diversity and healthcare literacy
· Describe the expected outcomes for medication management, including expectations for follow up care.
2. The overall presentation must meet the following requirements:
· Time: between 8-12 minutes total and no more than 15 slides
· Citations should be provided at the bottom of slides
· A full reference list should be included in APA format on the final slide.
3. Additionally, you will create five (5) multiple choice questions derived from your presentation content. Include the questions on a slide in your presentation, but DO NOT provide the answers. Instead, you will provide the answers to these by submitting a Word Document attachment using the paperclip on the week 5 discussion board (as shown below).
