MY TOPIC IS BREAST FEEDING POSTIONS
(CAN BE IN A 5/6 SLIDE POWER POINT IF EASIER FOR WRITER, WASNT SURE HOW TO DO THAT FEATURE)
Using a maximum of 10-15 minutes, teach your postpartum client something about taking care of herself &/or her baby. The objective of this assignment is to create an outline of the presentation that each student will discuss with their client &/or the other students during post-conference. This is an individual student assignment and should be on different topics.
I. Choose a topic that is relevant to your newborn and its mother. Appropriate topics can include, but are not limited to: breastfeeding (ex. latch, positions, engorgement, mastitis, etc.), formula preparation, pumping, manual expression of breast milk, breast- milk storage, infant sleep safety, infant reflexes, car seat safety, bathing baby, circumcision care, hepatitis B vaccine, taking a baby’s temperature, infant massage, baby blues and shaken baby syndrome, etc.
II. Organize your teaching plan: Decide the four major points that you wish to teach about the topic, list sub-topics beneath the four major points.
III. Create an outline as though you were going to write a paper. The outline should include key words or phrases that would help guide your presentation with the mother.
Example Topic: “Making Breastfeeding Successful”
I. Things that help support milk production
A. Early skin-to skin
B. Baby suckling at the breast
C. Maternal Fluid Intake
D. Adequate Maternal Sleep
II. Creating the right atmosphere for breastfeeding
A. Privacy
B. Good timing with feeding cues
C. Being in surroundings you enjoy.
Etc. with III and IV
IV. Attach Reference Page – When you have completed the outline, include a cover page, and list the references, in APA format, that you used to create your teaching plan.
The teaching outline should be due no later than one week before the clinical ends. The grade is based on organization of material, and clarity of the points you are trying to make. You will teach the patient during clinical. You can also teach the other students in post-conference.
Your OUTLINE should be no longer than one page and will be turned in to your clinical instructor & uploaded in the appropriate assignment on blackboard week #7

Patient’s take-in only short amounts of information at a time so keep it short & simple.
