Health Promotion Strategies and Resources

/0 Comments/in /by

The SLP assignment for this course will entail becoming familiar with Healthy People initiative.

To the end, you will be asked to view a series of videos presenting the key components of Healthy People 2020, illustrating how these are being implemented, noting data sources available to monitor progress toward achievement of Healthy People goals objectives, and recommending strategies for incorporating Healthy People into the work we do as health educators. After watching the video, address the following questions: How do you plan to use Healthy People 2020 in your work as a new health educator?

What specific resources (web-based or otherwise) will you likely use? Please list and briefly describe each. Thinking back to the Leading Health Indicator you identified as a primary concern in Module 1, how will you track progress toward achievement of the corresponding Healthy People 2020 objectives? (The indicators that were of primary concern were physical activity, nutrition and obesity, health services, and clinical preventative service) https://vimeopro.com/aptrmodules/phlm/video/101452328

Create a 1-2-page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP around a diagnosis you chose and could be used to help a new hire nurse better engage in EBP. Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of iDemonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative, and outcomes research articles and studies. Explain why the sources selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis. Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision. Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources one would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis within the context of a specific health care setting. Competency 4: Plan care based on the best available evidence. Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis. Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence. Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources. Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.implementing evidence-based changes in practice. sources within the last 5 years Scenario You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.

One outside scholarly source. Option #1 – Case Study to Consider Ann and Michael have been married for 55 years. Ann is 80 years-old, and suffers from lung cancer and advanced Alzheimer’s disease. She currently resides in a nursing home, and often does not recognize Michael when he visits. Last night she was admitted to the hospital with difficulty breathing. Today, you are the nurse caring for Ann, and her physician is suggesting surgery to remove part of her lung to potentially slow the progression of her cancer. Michael is feeling unsure about this course of treatment, and asks for your advice and guidance. How would you respond to Michael and serve as advocate for your patient?

• ( The topic I chose is “Cancer-How it affects Women”) writer please note that it must be related to women only. The initial topic is cancer, i said on the order how it affects women, but if there is a better one pertaining to women, I’m open. Please note that I appreciate your working with me,thank you. • Part A of this project includes the primary research information you would prepare in order to put together a presentation on your topic. It will basically look like a research paper using subheadings to be used in presenting your topic. • Part B of this project will be a quick outline document that you would provide as a handout at your workshop. This handout can also include additional charts or appendices with an explanation. Submit the Research Project: Part B via the assignment link and also upload this assignment to the Research Project File Exchange under the My Groups tab CLASS DO NOT FORGET TO SITE YOUR SOURCES IN TEXT, AND IN REFERENCES. Part A: 1. Select one topic from the topic list provided. Decide on a topic for your research project and post it in the Research Project Topic Discussion Board forum in order to receive approval from your instructor. Each student will research a different topic; therefore, once a topic has been selected, it will no longer be available. Topics will be approved on a “first come, first served” basis. 2. Research your topic by looking for information on treatment options or intervention approaches to assist women with that particular problem/disorder. Investigate your topic in depth; do not provide a broad survey of the topic. 3. Part A of the project should be 12-15 pages in content length. (The abstract, appendices and reference list are not included as content.) 4. The entire paper should follow APA format. 5. You must research at least 12-15 “professional” resources for your topic.
