ASSESSMENT ITEM 3: DESCRIPTION

In this unit, we have explored the role of diabetes educators in providing support and education to teachers who assume the care for children with diabetes while they are in school. Teachers are a crucial part of many childrens journey with diabetes, and their role encompasses promoting a safe environment and supporting emotional well-being whilst also assuming their academic responsibilities. Collaboration between teachers, parents and healthcare providers is essential to facilitate positive outcomes for children with diabetes. For this assessment, you will create a narrated PowerPoint demonstrating your ability to apply education and self-management principles and appropriate clinical guidelines to the case study below.

Case study: Brent

Brent is a seven-year-old child who was diagnosed with T1DM at age four. He has just started a new school year, and although he has been wearing a t:slim X2 insulin pump and G6 CGM for the past 12 months, his new teachers are not confident with the technology. They have concerns regarding him bolusing off his CGM and would like him to finger prick prior to meals. His timetable includes sports on Friday following recess when he has most of his carbohydrates. This is Brent's favourite class of the week; however, he has been experiencing hypos during class.

This has limited his ability to participate, and a change in his behaviour has been noted. As his CDE, the school has arranged for you to educate his teachers regarding Brent's management and what is best practice in this situation.

Create an oral presentation to provide to Brents school teachers. The following criteria must be addressed in

your presentation:

Utilising appropriate clinical guidelines and contemporary literature for one of the key issues you have examined, recommend and rationalise the use of;-One long term strategy to facilitate positive outcomes for Brent and his teachers.

-One short term strategy to facilitate positive outcomes for Brent and his teachers

Recommendations should be supported by appropriate clinical guidelines and contemporary literature. Guidelines and literature should be cited using APA 7th conventions. A DOI must be provided for all references in the reference list. You should cite all images in your presentation as per the JCU Library guides for APA 7th edition.
