Part 2: The second part of your paper will include your original ideas (no references needed) for a DREAM environment for your patients. Promoting a DREAM environment for a nurse isnt too much of a stretch, right? Im sure you can think of lots of ways to improve the work environment for yourself and colleagues. However, lets think about the care setting for our patients. We give potatoes to diabetics. We wake up patients all night long to check on them. We have patients stay in bed because we dont want them to fall, eliminating their access to fresh air. What would your dream patient environment look like? Your ideas need to be on-site and not something that is currently in use (e.g., silent night to promote rest cannot be used). Add this section to Part A of your paper that you completed in the previous week.
Here are examples of some ideal health promotion environment papers: ,
Part 3: The third part of this assignment will include a visual representation of your DREAM environment. You dont have to be an artist, but this is your chance to get creative within your comfort level and skill set. Here are some ideas:
-
-
- WordCloud (fun and free within Microsoft Word)
- A small poster using DREAMS idea prompts (take a picture and post)
- A dream or vision board
- Pictures (drawn or cut out) on a poster to prompt your discussion
- A mood board or collage
- A PowerPoint or Google Slides picture
-
- Here are some examples of student’s visual representations from past terms: , , ,
Your visual representation must include all six components of the DREAMS acronym to receive credit. You need to address DREAMS for the nurse and the patient. You will not receive any credit for presenting any type of text-based paper, which is only for Part 1.
This part of the assignment is also due in Module 3. When you submit your visual representation, we will also have an all-class discussion so we can DREAM together!
Format
- Each part of your paper (nurse and patient) will be formatted the same way: In a two-to-three page Word document (not including the title page), write out in paragraph form how you would promote health DREAMS for the nurse (Part 1) and then for the patient (Part 2) using the following acronym:
Diet
Rest
Exercise
Attitude
Mindfulness
Stress reduction - Again, you will address health promotion in the workplace in two parts: Part 1 will be about the nurse, and Part 2 will be about the patient.
- Part 1 is due in Module 2. Parts 2 and 3 (the visual representation) are due in Module 3.
DUE
Parts 2 and 3 of this assignment will be due by Sunday
