Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper

  A community teaching plan proposal was submitted and approved which focused on pneumonia in the community and the elderly population. The targets were people 65 years old and older who are more susceptible to pneumonia than younger people. The teaching took about 45 minutes via skype at FKC Clinic in Redlands CA. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic it was impossible to do it in person. The lecture included activities such as demonstrations and discussions as well as answers. The teaching plan was reviewed ahead by a RN-BSN supervisor that recommended a power point presentation with pictures and graphics to relay the information to the participants. The suggestions from the provider helped improve the teaching plan. The provider identified areas of strength and weakness in the teaching plan that needed to be improved before the presentation. This paper is the continuation of the teaching plan proposal that was submitted for the teaching community presentation. The goal of this paper is to review and analyze the teaching plan as well as review the importance of epidemiology of pneumonia and the interventions to prevent it while analyzing the response to the lecture.
