Neonatal Teaching: Health Literacy Lessons for Us All (HLOL

Описание: Samantha Sobie DNP, APRN, NNP-BC is a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Specialist at AngelEye Health. She has over a decade of experience working in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Units). Samantha’s doctoral work focused on assessing health literacy and improving the NICU discharge process. Today, she combines her clinical expertise with digital innovation to support families and care teams during the NICU journey.



Listen as Samantha Sobie and Helen Osborne talk about:




• Neonatal teaching. Communicating essential information at a time when parents may be feeling stunned, traumatized, and overwhelmed.


• The 5 Rights of Medication Administration. A framework that can be adapted to teaching parents in the NICU. These include right education, right dose, right patient/caregiver, right route, and right time.


• Examples of ways to apply this teaching framework in other settings including community services, public health, and other aspects of clinical care.




More ways to learn:




• Follow the 5 “Rs” of Medication Safety (https://injury.research.chop.edu/blog...) . While this topic is covered in many textbooks, Sobie likes this article from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as it highlights how parents can effectively give medications at home and how caregivers can support them.


• AngelEye Health NICU2Home (https://www.angeleyehealth.com/soluti...) . How AngelEye Health leverages technology to reinforce the 5 rights of medication administration and apply these rights to family education.
