Health Promotion

Week 4 Discussion (USLOs 4.1, 4.2, 4.4)

This week as we continue our discussion on health promotion, we will begin to look at health literacy.  Health literacy affects everyone we treat.  When thinking of health literacy and your current practice or experiences based on the readings and content this week, answer the following prompts:

• Describe an issue where health literacy posed a problem in your practice or experience. 

• Research and describe two evidence-based strategies that can be used to promote health literacy in the clinical setting. Support this response with in-text citations and APA-formatted scholarly references.

Additional Instructions

Please note that you need to support your post with a scholarly source that is referenced using APA format and include in-text citations where you are using the referenced material in your post.  You are expected to respond to the discussion prompt with your initial post by the 3rd day of the unit week.  After submitting your initial post, respond to at least two other student posts.  Your responses should be thoughtful, respectful, and substantially add value to the discussion.  You should respond to your peers throughout the unit week, but all responses need to be submitted no later than the last day of the unit week.
