Patient Teaching Plan HEALTH TOPIC ANSWER State the topic you have selected for your Teaching Project. (Please select from the list provided in the Teaching Project guidelines located in Module 4.) The topic I chose is Healthy Eating POPULATION ANSWER Describe, in detail, the characteristics of the population you are planning to teach with the Visual Teaching Tool. I belong to a small church that very much interested in healthy eating. Most of them are adults originated from Haiti. Healthy eating is a subject that will be interested to them because it is part of our belief. The population ages vary from the adolescent, young adults, adults and elderly. The teaching will offer to the whole church. In our culture meal preparation is very important, even though the adolescents grow with dual cultures but when it comes to food the younger generation is very much interested in the Haitian food and healthy eating. This is a population I know very well, and I did several other teachings with them before including health fair. They are very open to learning and participated by asking questions. BARRIERS ANSWER What are some potential learning barriers for this population of learners? (Barriers might be cultural, physical, educational, or environmental. Refer to the assigned article in the project guidelines for more information.) Literacy is one potential barrier. According to Beagley (2011) Literacy is an individual's ability to read, write and speak in English and compute and solve problems. Twenty percent of this population learners are elderly that don’t speak English. The other potential barrier is physical because some of them are over seventy so as the adult aging, the ability to reason and process information occurs at a slower rate, and manage multiple messages simultaneously is harder to do (Beagley, 2011).
