4. Secondary Prevention/Screenings for a Vulnerable Population
Planning Before Teaching:
Name and Credentials of Teacher:

presentation, posters, markers, soaps,
water
Estimated Cost:
$55
Community and Target Aggregate:

Identification of Focus for Community Teaching (Topic Selection):
Handwashing
Epidemiological Rationale for Topic (Statistics Related to Topic):
With the rise of Covid-19 Pandemic crisis, handwashing is encouraged most to prevent the
spread of the coronavirus. World Health Organization also noted that deaths associated with
diarrhea could be minimized by 50% if proper handwashing technique is followed. Moreover,

respiratory infections are reduced by 16% through handwashing. Researchers in London also
outlined that a million lives could be saved every year if every individual washed their hands as
recommended. Handwashing thus is a very important aspect in primary prevention.

Teaching Plan Criteria
Your teaching plan will be graded based on its effectiveness and relevance to the population
selected. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the
assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Nursing Diagnosis: Risk for infection related to poor hand hygiene
Readiness for Learning: Identify the factors that would indicate the readiness to learn for the
target aggregate. Include emotional and experiential readiness to learn.
The children will be very excited and be eager to learn how to wash their hands properly. They
will be happy since they will be playing with water. The children will also show readiness to
learn by gathering and asking questions they do not understand about the topic. Readiness for
learning plays an important role since it will greatly influence the learning activity.
Learning Theory to Be Utilized: Explain how the theory will be applied.
I will use the behavioral learning model for this learning activity. The theory is the result of
conditioning. Behavior can be learned through reinforcement, be it negative or positive. Positive
reinforcement follows that a person is rewarded for achieving a desirable behavior, whereas,
negative behavior involves taking away what the learner needs as a punishment for not achieving
the desired behavior. Therefore, I will reward the children with soaps and posters portraying
proper handwashing steps after washing their hands correctly.
Goal: Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) objective(s) utilized as the goal for the teaching. Include
the appropriate objective number and rationale for using the selected HP2020 objective (use at
least one objective from one of the 24 focus areas). If an HP2020 objective does not support your
teaching, explain how your teaching applies to one of the two overarching HP2020 goals.
The objective that cover up for Hand washing states that “Reduce the global burden of disease
due to poor water quality, sanitation, and insufficient hygiene” EH-24. Teaching children on
proper hygiene will make them pass the same traits to adulthood as they grow, which will help a
lot in reducing the burden of global diseases. Moreover, children will be able to pass the
