Identification of Focus for Community Teaching (Topic Selection):
Education on risks of diabetes type 2.
Epidemiological Rationale for Topic (Statistics Related to Topic):
The number of people with diabetes in United States is growing every year. There were about 34
million diagnosis in 2018, and about 1.5 million new diabetes diagnosis occur every year. The
statistical data shows that in addition of 26.8 million people diagnosed with this disease there

, were additional 7.3 million people that did not know they had diabetes because they were never
diagnosed. The rate of diabetes of 14.3 million is especially high in the group of older
Americans, age of 65 and older. According to statistical data, nearly 88 million adult Americans
age 18 and older are at prediabetic stage. Financially, the diabetes is a huge burden on United
States medical care. It amounted in 2018 to 237 billion dollars in medical cost and another 90
billion dollars in lost productivity (Statistics About Diabetes, n.d).
According to American Diabetes Association the key to control the diabetes is to maintain a
healthy diet, correct weight, and physical activity. A person is able to lower the diabetes risk with
just half an hour of physical activity daily. For best results it is the American Diabetes
Association recommendation to start the exercise with just a few minutes and then gradually
increase to reach a 30 minutes daily level. This routine will work even for people that were
physically not active (Physical Activity, n.d.).
Teaching Plan Criteria
Your teaching plan will be graded based on its effectiveness and relevance to the population
selected. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the
assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion
Nursing Diagnosis:
Abnormal intake of calories as evidenced by abnormal body weight.
Readiness for Learning: Identify the factors that would indicate the readiness to learn for the
target aggregate. Include emotional and experiential readiness to learn.
The participants will articulate their hesitations or their misunderstandings about how to prevent
obesity and diabetes. They will ask questions about how to decrease their risk factors by
changing their diet and increase their daily exercises. The open conversation on the topic of
diabetes will follow.
Learning Theory to Be Utilized: Explain how the theory will be applied.
From my experience I realized that the most useful method of teaching is a method which is
called a Teach Back method. After I provide all information regarding diabetes prevention,
proper nutrition, and weight control I will ask the audience to state in their own words what they
learned, and what they should do to improve their health. That way I will make sure that I
explained concepts of diabetes and weight control in a manner for the listeners easy to
understand (Use the Teach-Back Method: Tool #5, 2015). Using the Teach Back method I will
distribute brochures that contain information written in easy to understand language. I will be
asking participants open-ended questions for them to answer in their own way. That way I will
assess of how much they learned and their understanding of all information that I provided for
them.
Goal: Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) objective(s) utilized as the goal for the teaching. Include
the appropriate objective number and rationale for using the selected HP2020 objective (use at
least one objective from one of the 24 focus areas). If an HP2020 objective does not support your
