Discussion: Patient-care technologiesDiscussion: Patient-care technologiesThe purpose of
this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You
are to prepare a guide that will serve as a handout to assist a specific patient that you
identify. Your guide or handout should help this patient find and evaluate a reliable mobile
health, or mHealth application (app) that is already developed. This may be related to the
patient’s disease process or diagnosis, or may be an app that can help a patient maintain or
improve good health, and prevent illness. You will develop the guide using Microsoft
PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a versatile application that lets you design slideshows and
handouts. For this assignment, you will be using PowerPoint to create a guide or handout
that you may print and give to patients and families. You will be submitting this PowerPoint
file for grading. Course OutcomesORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
