Health Promotion Project: Lesson Plan

The health promotion presentation titled, Heart Failure in older adults, will take place

via zoom platform, following regulations by WHO to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. On

Wednesday, April 28, 2021, the lecture will be available from 1800 to 2200; this enables people

and families to attend to their daily duties first. The project focuses on improving the quality of

life and reducing heart problems for older adults. It will communicate details about the Healthy

People 2030 (HP2030) topic HDS-09: reduce hospitalization among adults with heart failure as

the primary diagnosis (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2021). The

presentation is available to all interested parties, but the target audience includes adults and older

people.

Project Goal

The health promotion project aims to highlight the prevalence of heart failure, create

awareness of the disease, and increase the screening of heart diseases in primary care settings. In

2016, there were 355.2 hospitalizations for heart failure per 100 000 adults aged 18 years and

over. The current target is to reduce hospitalizations to 319.7 per 100 000 adults (Office of

Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2021). The project will include both the public and

healthcare professionals, increasing the number of screening for heart diseases such as heart

failure at the primary care centers. Over the next decade, primary care physicians and nurses

serving in New York City will make it a routine to screen for heart failure in adults and older

people during hospital visits. Increased screening and maximized cardiovascular conditions

management can lower the current hospitalization rate and death-related rate from heart failure.

Logically, every person is headed towards old age; development of heart failure originates from

the lifestyle we lead at a younger generation. Therefore, screening should start early.

1. Objective: Before the presentation, learners will list a minimum of three perceptions they have about Heart failure. Learning Domain: Affective.

Attendees will complete a pre- program survey, emailed to registrants before the presentation date. Preconceived notions about depression may be facts, myths, personal anecdotes, or pervasive internet theories. The affective domain and its biases can retard personal growth and learning (Bastable et al., 2020, p. 481). In separating fact from fiction before the lecture, the presenter can ensure that all learners begin on a similar plane.

The completed survey, Zoom chat (text), and online Zoom group discussion will assist instruction. The presenter will offer all methods so that camera- shy and introverted participants can engage with the group's meeting without feeling anxious.

harmful prejudice and fiction. Together, the group will explore the most pervasive narratives surrounding depression and consider their effects on society and those living with depression. Some myths blame the sufferer, claiming depression stems from laziness, and applying a ‘mind over matter’ mentality will cure it. Others may believe people suffering from depression are negative thinkers and should smile more.

perceptions of mental illness and depression. This discussion is engaging, and participants shall join the conversation by agreeing, disagreeing, verifying, or negating public opinion. The discourse will be polite and respectful.

3. Objective: Following the presentation, the learner will recall three accurate signs/symptoms of heart failure. Learning Domain: Cognitive.

The instructor will define heart failure, describe its clinical presentation, and different types of heart failure. According to the American Heart Association, types of heart failure include right-sided, left-sided and congestive heart failure.

Virtual lecture and discussion.

Two minutes.

The lecture will incorporate details about heart failure from the American Heart Association.

The learner will complete the fill-in-the- blank worksheets administered after the lecture (Bastable et al., 2020).

LESSON PLAN 5

The presenter will discuss the signs and symptoms of heart failure. Common signs and symptoms of heart failure include dyspnea, fatigue, edema, rapid or irregular heartbeat, reduced ability to exercise, persistent cough or wheezing with white or pink- tinged phlegm, increased need to urinate at night, ascites, rapid weight gain due to fluid retention, chest pain if heart failure is due to heart attack, nausea and lack of appetite (American Heart Association, n.d.).

4. Objective: After the lecture, the attendee will list two methods used to treat heart failure. Learning Domain: Cognitive.

The instructor will teach learners that not all conditions that lead to heart failure can be reversed, but treatments can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure and help one live longer. Physicians commonly prescribe ACE inhibitors to help reduce the heart's workload by lowering pressure

and beta-blockers to prevent the risk of developing arrhythmias— diuretics to eliminate extra water in the body. Dietary supplements to take include minerals and multivitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, garlic, and the patient should avoid choline. Cardiac resynchronization therapy can be performed to keep the left and right sides of the heart pumping together (Heart Failure - Diagnosis and Treatment - Mayo Clinic, 2020).

5. Objective: After the lecture, the audience member will examine a sample patient and detect at least three risk factors for heart failure. Learning Domain: Psychomotor.

The teacher will explain that heart failure is mainly chronic and can happen as you age, but it can affect anyone in acute cases. However, one can live a full and active life with the right treatment and lifestyle. It always comes existing illnesses or diseases, affecting individuals at any age. With early screening for

cardiovascular diseases and adopting a healthy lifestyle, heart failure can be significantly reduced (Heart Failure - Diagnosis and Treatment - Mayo Clinic, 2020).

6. Objective: After the presentation, the participant will ‘converse’ with the sample case study patient, demonstrating a sensitive approach to a person suffering from heart failure. The learner will describe a typical heart failure screening process and urge the sample patient to make an appointment with their primary care provider. The learner will correctly respond to comments about when to see a physician when on heart failure treatment to avoid complications.

The instructor will explain that heart failure is a manageable condition. It is vital to offer support and patience, not judgment. Offering to be a sympathetic ear or an exercise buddy can help support a person suffering from heart failure. The audience quickly addresses the sample patient’s comments about when to visit a physician while on treatment to avoid complications and the urgency to report these comments to the physician.

Learning Domain: Psychomotor, affective, cognitive domains.

Conclusion

The presentation will offer the public and health professionals an opportunity to

recognize and be aware of the burden of heart failure in the healthcare system. Since heart failure

can majorly be categorized as a lifestyle disease, the public will learn various lifestyle changes

needed to reduce the incidence of the disease and reduce hospitalization; it is well known that

prevention is better than cure. The lecture participants will learn about the signs and symptoms

of depression, risk factors, treatment methods, and actionable warning signs or statements that,

when reported early, can lead to better management of the disease. The learners will also learn

about the screening process for heart diseases, which mainly depends on signs and symptoms

identification and electrocardiogram where there are no symptoms.
