Senior Research Sym. Program_Spring 2022

Joao Bonanoni, Eva Agcaoili, Jahlil Howard, & Kara Cain - “Public Relations Students in the “Real World” (session 8) The PR450 class worked together with other divisions of the Mass Communication Department to create a plan for a crisis communication case based on real events. Students applied knowledge from their cumulation of Communication courses in order to gain practical experience as public relations practitioners. The case presented today is titled “Contaminated Lagoon”. Students followed the ten-step process to advance the company’s expansion, while also dealing with the media in times of crisis. The Strategic Communications department used this as a professionalizing experience for multiple divisions with a realistic ambush press conference, news releases, and social media experiences. Myah Borgman - “Incentive Spirometry Use for Covid Induced Pneumonia” (session 3) As we know, Covid-19 has recently changed our everyday lives. Symptoms range from a runny nose, losing senses, flu like symptoms, to pneumonia, and unfortunately death. To prevent severe cases of covid induced pneumonia, patients within the hospital are encouraged to use an incentive spirometer. An educational module will be used to inform peer nurses about how to use and the importance of the incentive spirometer to assist in prevention of covid pneumonia. The incentive spirometer is used to increase lung capacity, assist with atelectasis, reduce risk of infection, and improve movement of sputum, thus, aiding in prevention of pneumonia. Madisen Bottcher - “Breastfeeding Supplementation” (session 7) Developing an educational module on breastfeeding supplementation and how much of an effect it could have on increasing breastfeeding percentages. I am implementing this educational module in the Obstetrics unit and give all of the nurses within the unit knowledge and information on different ways to give breast milk besides the baby being latched to the breast and in return, using those alternatives will decrease the amount of formula supplementation that is being used now. It is important to increase knowledge and education on breastfeeding because there are so many benefits to breastfeeding and by using formula, it is decreasing our breastfeeding percentages significantly.
