Teaching Strategy
Rose, a 58-year-old woman, has been working at Topper Company for the last 30 years. Rose is a single mother of 3 daughters: Ann, Lucy, and Ruby, as well as two sons who happen to be her firstborn and second-born, respectively; Ian and Jim. All the four kids except Lucy have been in a position to secure themselves a job away from home town. They visit their mother occasionally and have tasked Lucy with the role of helping their mother with household chores since she lives in the family house with her three children. Rose holds the position of a manager in the firm. Rose works hard to take care of her lovely three grandsons who are born to her unmarried and jobless daughter, Lucy. Added sugars and beverages characterize Rose’s diet. She has, however, been struggling to fight high blood pressure over time until recently, when the doctor discovered that she was also developing diabetes. Some months ago, Rose realized that she had begun losing her memory slightly as well as vision. In addition to this, she also had a stroke, which paralyzed some of her body parts, making her incapable of performing her responsibilities at work adequately. She had, however, not cleared her mortgage loans. The doctor recommended that she needed to take leave from work and get particular home-based care. Ian is for the opinion that he brings his mother to his big house and takes care of her instead of having to help in clearing her mortgage fees. Rose is, however, not for the idea, and she is much worried about the welfare of her daughter and grandsons.
Teaching Rose using diagrams and models relevant to her health and psychological issues would be the most appropriate strategy. The model has to be very clear since she has begun losing her visual ability. It would be inappropriate to use a lecture method bearing in mind she has started losing memory hence it will be difficult to remember some concepts
