Requirements:
In Week 6, create a PowerPoint presentation related to a common condition in primary care. Your professor will assign you the condition that you are to present.
In a PowerPoint presentation of 15 slides or less, describe the most commonly prescribed drugs for your assigned condition. Provide evidence by sharing clinical guidelines, research articles, or other scholarly materials to support your findings. You will identify barriers to practice or additional issues related to the condition and the use of pharmacologic treatment, including potential issues related to cultural diversity and healthcare literacy.
Read the following article and incorporate evidence from it as a part of your presentation: Dreischulte, T., & Guthrie, B. (2012). High-risk prescribing and monitoring in primary care: how common is it, and how can it be improved?. Therapeutic advances in drug safety, 3(4), 175-184.
Finally, you will describe the expected outcomes for medication management, including expectations for follow up care. Citations should be provided at the bottom of slides, and a full reference list should be included in APA format on the final slide. You will create five (5) multiple choice or true-false questions created from your presentation content. Provide the answers to the questions you have created. The PowerPoint presentation and questions are due by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 6.
In Week 7, you will post the PowerPoint presentation you have created to the discussion area, but first remove the answers to the questions you have created. Please post the presentation including five (5) questions to the discussion area by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 6 to facilitate a robust discussion.
Participating in the Discussion: You will be required to respond to at least three other students, who have no responses to their posting.** In your post, you will discuss a drug that could be prescribed for the condition DIFFERENT than those presented. Come up with a different treatment plan from the Walmart or Target $4 RX list, and offer reasons for the change or if the drug is not on the list, why? Use references to support your responses. You should also answer the presenter’s five questions.
Three responses to a peer’s presentations are due by Thursday 11:59 p.m. MT of Week 7 so that the presenting student can interact with you.
**If all students have a response, then choose the student with the least responses to their posting.
Leading the Discussion: You must respond to any student who posts to you by THURSDAY regarding your case with a substantial response, either answering their questions or noting their response and acting as leader. You also must respond to any faculty responses to your initial posting if posted by THURSDAY. Use references to support your responses. All FINAL responses to your initial posts must be completed by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
