Case 1
John is a retired 57-year-old man with a 5-year history of type 2 diabetes. He was diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 but he had symptoms indicating hyperglycemia for 2 years before diagnosis. He had fasting blood glucose records indicating values of 6.6-7.1 mmol/L (118–127 mg/dl), which were described to him as indicative of “borderline diabetes.” His doctor has been encouraging to lose weight (at least 10 kg. as he currently weights 100 kg and is 180 cm tall. Write learning objectives to guide your teaching about the importance of weight loss related to type 2 diabetes.
Based on this case study, a clear, measureable objective must be written for each of the 3 domains – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Assignment 2 must be submitted, marked and returned to you prior to submitting assignment 3. Assignment 2 is foundational to assignment 3 so ensure you consider your tutor’s feedback.
Evaluation Criteria for Assignment 2 – Writing Learning Objectives
Assignment 2 should include the following:
Articulate 3 objectives – one for each domain cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Be certain each of the objectives you develop is at minimum:
learner-centered
discrete
written in clear, measurable terms
reflective of your assigned case study
reasonable for a 3 minute teaching session
Provide rationale including integration of theoretical knowledge, that is, evidence based practice to support each objective.
Provide evidence of application of course concepts and references of external sources as needed to support each learner centered objective.
APA format, maximum 4 pages excluding title and reference pages

Case 2
Margaret is 87 and has dementia. Margaret’s daughter and son-in-law are at Margaret’s bedside after hip fracture surgery. Write learning objectives to guide your teaching related to fall-prevention in older adults with dementia.
Based on this case study, a clear, measureable objective must be written for each of the 3 domains – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Assignment 2 must be submitted, marked and returned to you prior to submitting assignment 3. Assignment 2 is foundational to assignment 3 so ensure you consider your tutor’s feedback.

What is borderline diabetes?
Borderline diabetes, also called prediabetes, is a condition that develops before a person gets type 2 diabetes. It’s also known as impaired fasting glucose or glucose intolerance. It basically means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but they’re not quite high enough to be considered a sign of diabetes.
During the prediabetes phase, your pancreas still produces enough insulin in response to ingested carbohydrates. The insulin is less effective at removing the sugar from the bloodstream, though, so your blood sugar remains high. This condition is called insulin resistance.
If you have prediabetes, you should know you’re not alone. In 2015, it was estimated that 84.1 million Americans age 18 and older had the condition. That’s 1 in 3 Americans.
Having prediabetes doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop diabetes. It’s a warning of what could lie ahead, however. People with prediabetes have a 5 to 15 times higher risk for type 2 diabetes than someone with normal blood sugar levels.
Those chances increase if you don’t make any healthy changes to your diet or activity habits.
