Short Answer Questions (200 words)

1. Introduce the topic- why is this an important health promotion


activity. You may wish to consider how the information in this
pamphlet will produce better health outcomes and the possible
risks associated with not following the pamphlet’s guidance.

Answer: The topic chosen for the health promotion activity is


“Maintenance of Good Health during Pregnancy and Ensuring the Safety
of the Fetus”. Since Pregnancy is a crucial phase in a woman’s life,
seeking ante-natal care during pregnancy is a must to overcome the
challenges of pregnancy. Ante-natal care can be sought from a nurse-
midwife, who is a qualified healthcare professional who helps a woman
through a woman’s pregnancy and post-childbirth (NIH, 2017).

This pamphlet educates women on three aspects during their pregnancy.


One, it equips them with the knowledge and skills required to keep
themselves and their children healthy during pregnancy. Second, it helps
them know the benefits of a 3-pronged approach to physical fitness,
mental well-being, and diet during pregnancy and lastly, it helps them
know the role of nurse midwives in assisting them throughout their
pregnancy and post-childbirth.

2. Who is the audience for this pamphlet? Explain why it is


important to consider this question. How will this pamphlet
cater for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people
in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds?
Consider language and community organisations that may have
useful websites.

Answer: The target audience for this health education activity is expecting
mothers. The topic is of utmost importance for pregnant mothers as only they
can be active participants in ensuring good health for themselves and their
children during pregnancy and later on.

This pamphlet is also quite communicative enough for Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander and CALD people to understand the nitty-gritty of the Dos’ and
Don’ts during pregnancy. The language is also easy to be understood by the
marginalized community.

3. How will the pamphlet be disseminated? Consider how you, as a


nurse or midwife, will use the pamphlet in your own practice.

Answer: As a nurse, I will be proactive in educating expecting women about the


importance of diet, exercise, and emotional well-being during pregnancy. I will
disseminate the pamphlets as well as communicate the content of the pamphlet
by myself and will ensure that women take the most benefit out of the
information provided.
