HLST 320 Health Teaching Project: Iron-Deficiency Anemia Case Study

This project is a health teaching assignment focusing on a case study of a 28-year-old pregnant woman, Janice, diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia. The project includes a video simulation and a detailed lesson plan. The learning objective is to increase knowledge, application, and synthesis of knowledge of the subject in the cognitive domain. The assignment covers the symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia, its effects on pregnant women, and the importance of diet and awareness. The project outlines a teaching approach that includes a lecture, self-study materials, and a video with subtitles. The learning objective is to enable the subject to explain iron-deficiency anemia and identify iron-rich foods. This resource helps students understand how to create effective teaching plans and apply Bloom’s Taxonomy to achieve learning objectives in healthcare settings, specifically for HLST 320 at Athabasca University.

Objective – to increase knowledge, application and synthesis of knowledge of the subject
(domain – cognitive)
At first, the subject will be given a lecture ‘Iron deficiency anaemia is a complex metabolic
disorder that not only affect the health of the individual but also affects the very quality of
life to a great extent. The symptoms are general fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, general
weakness and shortness of breath. In pregnancy, the additional risk that you should consider
is your baby having a low birth weight that can be accompanied by a postpartum depression
as well. It is very critical that in iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy, not only the
health of the mother but the health of the baby is at risk as well. Lack of iron in the food in
addition to imbalanced diet can lead to the causation of the disease. Also not applying the
right knowledge and awareness in the prevention of the progressive symptoms can cause the
disease to become more severe. The causation of fatigue due to iron deficiency anaemia can
lead to less proactive action taking and hence it has to be addressed. The health educators
who are involved in educating and raising your awareness for prevention and management of
iron deficiency anaemia and kindly consider that the educators and the health care staffs who
will servicing you and helping you the entire process of self-management skills learning are
very much educated and are trained prior as well so as to the implement the lesson plan
process to you, in a very professional and vital manner as well.’
Then the Self-study and Printed handouts will be distributed as it helps ‘the subject is assisted
to relate the imagination elicited in the previous lecture to the visual images shown in the
printout’. Self-study is ‘to allow the subject learn at her own pace’
Finally the video will be shown with the subtitles ‘Considering the iron rich foods such as
lentils, nuts and beans plus seeds in addition to grains such as brown rice, dried fruits,
fortified types of breakfast cereals are really essential for you. Walking and low intensity
aerobics is good for your health as well. Create your nutritional diet plan using the Canada
food guide.’ And this would add to clarity to the subject’s knowledge.
