Assessment : Education plan and health promotion
Notes: Written assignment

Task
In this assessment you will explain the role of the nurse in
providing health education and health promotion.
Develop an evidence-based and culturally informed health education
plan for a migrant woman Janna who arrived in Australia six months ago from
Iraq and speaks limited English. She is married and lives with her husband who
supports them with income from his casual job. The health education plan
focuses on health promotion, and addresses the GPs statement that “her blood
pressure and diabetes are out of control because she doesn’t understand how to
take her tablets properly”.
Discuss the nurse’s role in providing health education and
health promotion to clients.
Explore why education is an important form of health
promotion.
Formulate an education plan that focuses on health promotion
and incorporates health literacy, culture and relevant social determinants of
health (SDH). The plan should include:
program goal (a general statement about long term health
changes for Janna)
objective/s (specific statements that address how each goal
of the program will be achieved)
intervention/s (planned actions/activities that achieve the
objectives)
process (how the plan will be put into action)
impact (how the education program positively impacts Janna)
