Health Promotion and Restoration Teaching Plan

A health promotion plan for Mr. J. should include the following:

• smoking cessation;
• moderate daily physical activity;
• take medications regularly;
• stick to a healthy diet;
• attend to scheduled follow-up physician appointments;
• install and use health care applications to monitor heart rate and blood pressure;
• use online and handout resources with information on heart failure and COPD management.

The rehabilitation resources, including online materials and applications on Mrs. J.’s condition, will help her manage and modify her daily routine according to the guidelines obtained from the resources. In such a manner, the patient will have an opportunity to receive answers to her questions independently and avoid complications.

Education Method Regarding Medications

The method of education for Mrs. J. to improve her self-management and medication intake after hospitalization should be verbal education through one-on-one communication (“Choosing effective patient education materials,” 2021). According to this method, the information is delivered to the patient verbally with the opportunity to answer Mrs. J.’s questions and ensure her comprehension. The rationale for this method is based on the severity of Mrs. J.’s chronic conditions and the necessity to ensure that she comprehends possible outcomes of improper medication intake.

COPD Triggers and Smoking Cessation Options

The triggers that should be avoided include household dust and fumes from cooking or cleaning products (“COPD signs and symptoms,” 2019). Also, Mrs. J. should avoid catching a cold or pneumonia and exposure to polluted air or a cold environment. Finally, the most significant issue in Mrs. J.’s case is smoking cessation that should be prioritized to avoid repeated hospitalization with COPD. To assist the patient with the smoking cessation procedure, a nurse might introduce nicotine patches and behavioral therapy; however, medications are not recommended since the patient is already exposed to polypharmacy.
