Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is:
Integrate knowledge and skills learned throughout NR503 course
Direct application of course objectives utilizing epidemiological analysis of a chronic health
problem, along with state and national level data.
Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
See weekly outcomes from Weeks 1-6.

Requirements:
This paper should clearly and comprehensively identify the chronic health disease chosen.
Select a topic from the following list (topics rotate):
Polycythemia Vera
Alcohol Addiction
Prostate or Breast Cancer
Epilepsy/Seizure Disorders
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (Select childhood or adulthood for the OCD topic)
The paper should be organized into the following sections:
Introduction (Identification of the problem) with a clear presentation of the problem as well as the
significance and a scholarly overview of the paper’s content. No heading is used for the Introduction per APA current edition.
Background and Significance of the disease, to include: Definition, description, signs and symptoms, and current incidence and/or prevalence statistics by state with a comparison to national statistics pertaining to the disease.  Create a table of incidence or prevalence rates by your geographic county/city or state with a comparison to national statistics. Use the APA text for
formatting guidelines (tables). This is a table that you create using relevant data, it should not be a table from another source using copy/paste.
Surveillance and Reporting: Current surveillance methods and mandated reporting processes as
related to the chronic health condition chosen should be specific.
Epidemiological Analysis: Conduct a descriptive epidemiology analysis of the health condition.
Be sure to include all of the 5 W’s: What, Who, Where, When, Why. Use details associated with all of the W’s, such as the “Who” which should include an analysis of the determinants of health. Include costs (both financial and social) associated with the disease or problem.
Screening and Guidelines: Review how the disease is diagnosed and current national standards (guidelines). Pick one screening test (review Week 2 Discussion Board) and review its sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, and cost.
Plan: Integrating evidence, provide a plan of how a nurse practitioner will address this chronic health condition after graduation. Provide three specific interventions that are based on the evidence and include how you will measure outcomes (how will you know that the interventions have utility, are useful?)

Note:  Consider primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions as well as the integration of health policy advocacy efforts. All interventions should be based on evidence – connected to a resource such as a scholarly piece of research.
Summary/Conclusion: Conclude in a clear manner with a brief overview of the keys points from each section of the paper utilizing integration of resources. The paper should be formatted and organized into the following sections which focus on the
chosen chronic health condition. Adhere to all paper preparation guidelines (see below).

Preparing the Paper:
Page length: 7-10 pages, excluding title page and references.
APA format current edition
Include scholarly in-text references throughout and a reference list.
Include at least one table that the student creates to present information. Please refer to the
“Requirements” or rubric for further details. APA formatting required.
Length: Papers not adhering to the page length may be subject to either (but not both) of the following at the discretion of the course faculty: 1.  Your paper may be returned to you for editing to meet the length guidelines, or, 2. Your faculty may deduct up to five (5) points from the final grade.
Adhere to the College of Nursing academic policy on integrity as it pertains to the submission of original work for assignments.

Professional e-Portfolio

4. Professional Nursing Standards – using the Registered Nurses Standards for Practice (2016), describe how you intend to demonstrate the development of ONE (1) of the following standards in preparation for or when on clinical placement (1,000 words):
Standard 1: Thinks critically and analyses nursing practice OR
Standard 6: Provides safe, appropriate and responsive quality nursing practice

Blood Pressure Assignment

1. Define:
   1. cardiac output:
   2. stroke volume:
   3. end systolic volume:
   4. end diastolic volume:
   5. resistance:
   6. venous return:
   7. blood pressure:
   8. cardioacceleratory center:
   9. cardioinhibitory center:
   10. parasympathetic nervous system
   11. sympathetic nervous system
   12. pulse rate:
   13. blood pressure:
   14. systolic pressure:
   15. diastolic pressure:
2. Relate how the terms above (b – k) will impact cardiac output (CO).
3. How are pulse rate and blood pressure related?
4. Perform the following experiment on yourself or family member.
   1. Take your baseline pulse rate using the radial pulse technique- this should be done sitting down without talking.
   2. Exercise (run, do jumping jacks, run stairs, etc.- anything that will get your heart rate up!!) for five minutes. After five minutes, take your pulse rate right away.
   3. Stand still for three minutes and take your pulse rate after that time.

 

Baseline Pulse Rate	Exercising Pulse Rate (5 min)	Standing Pulse Rate (3 min)

 

5. Explain the physiology behind these results and relate them back to your exercise hypotheses from the Lab 6 Prelab. Use terms from question 1.
6. Perform the following experiment on yourself or family member.
   1. Take your baseline pulse rate using the radial pulse technique- this should be done sitting down without talking.
   2. Lay down for five minutes; after five minutes, take pulse rate while laying down.
   3. Stand up, and instantly take your pulse rate.
   4. Stand still for three minutes and take your pulse rate after that time.

 

Baseline Pulse Rate	Resting Pulse Rate  (5 min)	Upon Standing Pulse Rate	Standing Pulse Rate  (3 min)

7. Explain the physiology behind these results and relate them back to your postural changes hypotheses from Lab 6 Prelab. Use terms from question 1.
8. Define the new adult blood pressure guidelines for 2020, including the category titles and numerical values of systolic and diastolic pressures for each respective category. Include levels of hypertension and hypotension.
9. List 6 factors that affect blood pressure.
10. Based off the research done for this assignment, what effect does stress play on pulse rate and blood pressure? Explain using terms from question 1.

In this course, you will be complete a 2-part assignment in which you conduct research about a
population of focus, develop a PICOT statement, and write a Literature Review. The PICOT
statement and Literature Review you write in this course can be used for your evidence-based
practice project in the next course so be sure to select an issue you want to continue working on
in your next course.
PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the
outcome) is a method that helps clarify the qualities needed to create a good question out of a
practice issue or problem affecting the population of focus. Additionally, the information derived
from a good PICOT makes it easier to perform a literature search in order to find translational
research sources that can be used to address the clinical problem.

Use a national, state or local population health care database to research indicators of disparity.
Choose a mortality/morbidity indicator to identify a clinical problem or issue that you want to
explore pertaining to a population of focus. Use this indicator to begin to formulate a PICOT and
conduct research on the population.
Write a 750-1,000-word paper that analyzes your research and focuses on the population you
have chosen. Describe the population’s demographics and health concerns, and explain how
nursing science, health determinants, and epidemiologic, genomic, and genetic data may impact
population health management for the selected population. Provide an overview of a potential
solution for solving the health issue related to your population and the intended PICOT
statement. Describe how the solution incorporates health policies and goals that support health
care equity for the population of focus.
You are required to cite three to five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be
published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the
Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
