MUNITY PROFILE POWER POINT
PRESENTATION
FORMAT FOR COMMUNITY PROFILE POWER POINT PRESENTATION
GROUP REPORT:
1. Each group of students attending a clinic/visiting the community must develop a power point
presentation of the students’ and community’s activities and findings that were witnessed during the
visits. 2. CONTENT: slides must cover the following information regarding the Community
Describe the geographical area (approximate size, boundaries)
Indicate the population numbers
Indicate the Ethnical group in dominance
Indicate the literacy levels amongst the community
Indicate the economic activities in the community and surrounding areas
Describe the disease profile (commonest diseases) patients present with
Indicate the governance of the community (e.g. chief vs. municipality etc.)
NB Indicate the risk areas and situations in the community (risk to mental and physical health)
NB Show/indicate resources in the area e.g. water supply, transport, health care, education,
housing, religion, sanitation, economic activities etc. (how many and type of schools, crèches, churches, clinics etc.).
Show/indicate resources in the health care facility you visited (sponsors, equipment, facilities,
building, beds, staff, medicines, storeroom etc.) Show/indicate services offered to the community by the health care facility (e.g. describe and
provide photographs of home based care programme, types of clinic, outreach activities such as
mobile clinics, food gardens, sewing/baking programmes, computer literacy etc.)
Show/indicate strengths and weaknesses of the facility and the environment
Show what the students did during their visit.
Indicate what you have done and learnt during the block (NB! Action photographs speak a
thousand words! – do NOT include a group of students posing, rather take a photograph of a student interacting with a patient!)
Present your recommendations to better health related services to the community – be realistic!
3. The mark that the student group will be given will be used as a TEST MARK for exam admission – no
re-do’s will be allowed 4. Try to restrict the written slides to below 20 and the photographs to 20 as well. 5. Do NOT use photographs or slides from other groups/year groups! You will get NO MARK
for your assignment as it is plagiarism!
6. Indicate the group and the year clearly on the cover of the CD.

BODY MASS INDEX: How to calculate body mass index (BMI):
BMI = weight/ height² = 82 / (1.72 x 1.72)
= 82/ 2.96 = 27.7
Interpretation of BMI:
Below 18.5: Underweight 18.5 – 24.9: Normal
25 -29.9: Grade 1 obesity 30 – 39.9: Grade 2 obesity
40 +: Grade 3 obesity
STUDENT INTERPRETATION OF ABOVE FINDINGS:
Example The patient’s diabetes is not well controlled. She has a fever. She has repeated infections like
urinary tract infections. Leg ulcers that do not want to heal. Lifestyle advice needed as she is
also overweight according to her BMI.

Ask your mentor to assist you in this learning.
The challenge is that you have to read and ask as much as possible regarding the patients seen. We
want you to learn what you can!. Do not sit back and wait for learning to occur. Actively search for knowledge and skills and make the best of this opportunity.
If you are finished with your 4 patients and there is time left, then you see more patients.

of daily living for your patient and family.
Example: My diabetic patient can be educated to grow fresh vegetables to improve his diet. I could also give advice on other hobbies after consulting with occupational therapy. The patient can also be motivated to start, or join a support group for people with Diabetes.

VITAL SIGN OBSERVATIONS
MEASURING A BLOOD PRESSURE
STUDENT NAME: _____________________________ DATE: ________________
SECTION A – Knowledge MARKS
1. Give the definition of Blood pressure
- it is the pressure or force of the blood against the walls of the arteries
/1
2. Give the definition of Systolic Blood pressure
- it is the pressure or force of the blood against the walls of the arteries during the
CONTRACTION of the heart
/0.5
3. Give the definition of Diastolic Blood pressure
- it is the pressure or force of the blood against the walls of the arteries when the heart is at rest/relaxed/not contracting
/0.5
4 Give the definition of Hypotension
- it is a low blood pressure
/0.5
Give the definition of Hypertension
- it is a high blood pressure
/0.5
5. Name 4 factors that could affect the blood pressure reading
- Cardiovascular disorders - Neurological disorders
- Kidney and urological disorders - Pre-eclampsia in pregnant woman
- Psychological factors- stress, anger
- Medication - White coat hypertension
/0.5
6. How would you determine if the BP cuff is the right size? - it should cover 2/3 of the upper arm
/0.5
SUBTOTAL /4
25
MPOM 101 Service learning 2015 Page 25
PROCEDURE: BLOODPRESSURE MEASUREMENT
SECTION B – Skill evaluation MARKS
1. Wash hands
Why? – to prevent cross infection
/0.5
2. Explain procedure to the pt
Why? – a well-informed patient is better prepared and less fearful.
/0.5
3. Have the pt sit or lie down with arm supported on pillow, table or side of the bed
- the room should be quiet and the patient must not talk
- If the pt is exerted/ walked a distance let the pt sit for + 5 minutes before commencing
Why? – exertion can influence the BP
/0.5
4. Position the pt’s arm so that it is + level to the pt’s heart
Expose the upper arm and remove restrictive clothing to avoid obstruction
/0.5
5. Squeeze the BP cuff to expel any air /0.5
6. Wind the BP cuff around the upper arm
- Use appropriate size cuff - the bottom ridge of the cuff should be + 2,5 cm above the bend of the arm (cover 2 thirds of the upper arm)
- Undersized cuff- overestimated BP, oversized cuff – underestimated BP
- the inflating part should be directly over the brachial arteries at the inner aspect of the arm, or as indicated on the cuff of the apparatus
- turn the pt’ palm upwards - keep the arm straight and relaxed
*
/0.5
7. Locate the radial pulse with finger tips
- While feeling the radial pulse with the one hand, inflate the apparatus very slowly until the radial pulse disappears
- note this reading as the estimated systolic blood pressure - cuff must not be hyper inflated – it may be painful for the patient
- deflate the cuff completely Why this procedure?
To determine the estimated systolic blood pressure
Student should be informed to indicate to the examiner what the reading was at which the pulse disappeared and the facilitator should confirm this by palpating the
radial pulse
/0.5
8. Locate the brachial artery to determine where the stethoscope should be placed NB – correct placement of the stethoscope!
- student should know where to locate the brachial artery
/0.5
9. Place the stethoscope earpieces in ears and test if it is working by tapping the bell
- position the stethoscope over the brachial artery – do not occlude the opening of the bell with fingers
- inflate the cuff to 20mmHg higher than your estimated systolic blood pressure
/0.5
10. Release the valve and deflate the cuff at 3-4mm/sec and listen for the first consecutive
sound of pulsations - note the reading as the systolic blood pressure.
- the sound is called Karotkoff 1
- it should be near the reading of the estimated systolic blood pressure. - continue to deflate the cuff slowly and note the point at which the sound disappears
- note the reading as the diastolic blood pressure
*
26
MPOM 101 Service learning 2015 Page 26
- the sound is called Karotkoff 5 - deflate completely NB!
- the student may repeat the BP measurement to ensure a correct reading, but only after
complete deflation and movement of the pt's arm and fingers to re-establish circulation
- avoid slow and repeated inflation of the cuff, as it can cause the blood flow to become inadequate and lead to incorrect readings
- document the blood pressure as systolic reading over diastolic reading
Student’s deflation and measuring method should be evaluated as a whole. Correct method is important. Student should show competence and confidence.
/0.5
11. Remove the cuff and ensure the pt’s comfort
- interpret findings and give the patient feedback
/0.5
12. Record the findings
The reading should be correct **** ****
