This paper presents a comprehensive teaching plan developed for Mr. Kennedy, a 67-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes and a foot ulcer, who requires education on self-management after discharge. The plan begins with an introduction to patient education and the importance of identifying learning needs, followed by a detailed client description and assessment of his learning needs using motivational interviewing techniques. The paper emphasizes the application of cognitive and psychomotor-cognitive approaches to counseling, along with the development of therapeutic relationships based on empathy. It considers the social determinants of health, particularly Mr. Kennedy's financial constraints, and their impact on his lifestyle. A learning plan template is provided, encompassing assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation phases, including the use of visual aids like handouts and diagrams. The discussion section explains how the plan was tailored to Mr. Kennedy's specific needs, socioeconomic situation, and preferred learning style. A sample handout is included, summarizing key wound management and hygiene strategies. The paper concludes by reiterating the significance of considering various factors influencing the accessibility of educational plans and highlights the educational strategies provided to Mr. Kennedy to manage his health condition post-discharge. The paper also includes a list of references used to support the learning plan.
