Help with a learning goal

[sarahsandhu]

Hi, i have to develop a learning goal using the characteristics of ideal desired outcome, broad scope, encompassing a set of objectives, and future orientation measured by weeks or months relating to this scenario.

I am having a hard time getting started. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

" Mrs. L. is a 68 year old woman who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease. She and Mr L., her husband of 45 years, are devastated to learn of her diagnosis but recently have expressed an interest in understanding more about her illness and how to approach her future care. Mr. and Mrs. L. have both been assessed at the community Geriatric Assessment Program. Mrs. L.'s most recent Mini Mental Status Exam score was 26/30. She has begun to take Aricept 10 mg. po daily. She has been frustrated by difficulty with remembering to take her medication, getting dressed, and finding her house when returning from a walk in the neighbourhood. Mr. L. confides that he knows little about Alzheimer Disease and that Mrs. L. has been more restless at night since beginning to take her Aricept. He is exhausted from the strain of being up all day and night to make sure Mrs. L. is safe.

The geriatric psychiatrist has referred the couple to you, the clinical educator for the Geriatric Assessment Team, to develop a teaching plan to meet their learning needs. You begin by developing learning goals and objectives based on the knowledge that you have."
