Assignment Directions

Begin by selecting a topic in nursing or medicine that is of interest to you. Next, use PICOT to format possible research questions about that topic. Provide three possible PICOT research questions related to the chosen topic (each question will have a different direction on the same topic)

    Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in the first assessment. Then, implement your health promotion plan by conducting a hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected group. How would you set goals for the session, evaluate session outcomes, and suggest possible revisions to improve future sessions?      Professional Context  Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.    Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Healthy People 2020, n.d.; Flanders, 2018).    This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.    Demonstration of Proficiency  By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:    Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.  Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2020 goals and leading health indicators.  Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.  Evaluate educational session outcomes and the attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants.  Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health.  Present a health promotion plan to an individual or group within a community.  Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years  References  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP). (n.d.). Healthy People 2020. Retrieved from https://www.healthypeople.gov/    Preparation  For this assessment, you will conclude the clinical learning activity you began in Assessment 1.    You will resume the role of a community nurse tasked with addressing the specific health concern in your community. This time, you will present, via educational outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in Assessment 1 to your fictitious audience. In this hypothetical scenario, you will simulate the presentation as though it would be live and face-to-face. You must determine an effective teaching strategy, communicate the plan with professionalism and cultural sensitivity, evaluate the objectives of the plan, revise the plan as applicable, and propose improvement for future educational sessions. To engage your audience, you decide to develop a PowerPoint presentation with voice-over and speaker notes to communicate your plan          Prepare a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and detailed speaker notes that reflects your hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the plan you created in Assessment 1. The speaker notes should be a transcript of the voice-over (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial).  Simulate the hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community individual or group.  Imagine collaborating with the hypothetical participant(s) in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.  As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Conducting an Effective Educational Session activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider key issues in conducting an effective educational session for a selected audience. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.    PRESENTATION FORMAT AND LENGTH  You may use Microsoft PowerPoint (preferred) or other suitable presentation software to create your presentation. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.    The number of content slides in your presentation is dictated by nature and scope of your health promotion plan. Be sure to include title and references slides per the following:        Record a Slide Show With Narration and Slide Timings.  This Microsoft article provides steps for recording slide shows in different versions of PowerPoint, including steps for Windows, Mac, and online.  Microsoft Office Software.  This Campus page includes tip sheets and tutorials for Microsoft PowerPoint.  PowerPoint Presentations Library Guide.  This library guide provides links to PowerPoint and other presentation software resources.  SoNHS Professional Presentation Guidelines [PPTX].  This presentation, designed especially for the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, offers valuable tips and links, and is itself a PowerPoint template that can be used to create a presentation.  SUPPORTING EVIDENCE  Support your plan with at least three professional or scholarly references, published within the last 5 years, which may include peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2020 resources.      Tailor the presentation to the needs of your hypothetical audience.  Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements.  Evaluate educational session outcomes and the attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants.  Which aspects of the session would you change?  How might those changes improve future outcomes?  Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2020 goals and leading health indicators.  What changes would you recommend to better align the session with Healthy People 2020 goals and leading health indicators?  Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years).  Slides are easy to read and error free.

A vital step in trace-mapping is the identification of the infectious individual or group and isolating or quarantining them. During the trace-mapping process, these individuals are interviewed to identify those who have had close contact with them. Contacts are notified of their potential exposure, testing referrals become paramount, and individuals are connected with appropriate services they might need during the self-quarantine period (CDC, 2020).      This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on evacuation, extended displacement periods, and contact tracing based on the disaster scenario provided.    Demonstration of Proficiency  By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:    Competency 1: Analyze health risks and health care needs among distinct populations.  Describe the determinants of health and the cultural, social, and economic barriers that impact safety, health, and disaster recovery efforts in a community.  Competency 2: Propose health promotion strategies to improve the health of populations.  Present specific, evidence-based strategies to overcome communication barriers and enhance interprofessional collaboration to improve disaster recovery efforts.  Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.  Explain how health and governmental policy affect disaster recovery efforts.  Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.  Explain how a proposed disaster recovery plan will lessen health disparities and improve access to community services.  Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health.  Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years).  Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed audio and speaker notes are provided. Audio is clear, organized, and professionally presented.  Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.    Preparation  When disaster strikes, community members must be protected. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders have been prepared, the quality of the trace-mapping, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully against available resources.    In this assessment, you are a community task force member responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for the Vila Health community using MAP-IT and trace-mapping, which you will present to city officials and the disaster relief team.      Begin thinking about:    Community needs.  Resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.  People accountable for implementation of the disaster recovery plan.  Healthy People 2020 goals.  A timeline for the recovery effort.  You may also wish to:    Review the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework, which you will use to guide the development of your plan:  Mobilize collaborative partners.  Assess community needs.  Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.  Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 objectives.  Track community progress.  Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.      Instructions  Complete the following:    Develop a disaster recovery plan for the Vila Health community that will lessen health disparities and improve access to services after a disaster. Refer back to the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario to understand the Vila Health community.  Assess community needs.  Consider resources, personnel, budget, and community makeup.  Identify the people accountable for implementation of the plan and describe their roles.  Focus on specific Healthy People 2020 goals.  Include a timeline for the recovery effort.  Apply the MAP-IT (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track) framework to guide the development of your plan:  Mobilize collaborative partners.  Assess community needs.  Use the demographic data and specifics related to the disaster to identify the needs of the community and develop a recovery plan. Consider physical, emotional, cultural, and financial needs of the entire community.  Include in your plan the equitable allocation of services for the diverse community.  Apply the triage classification to provide a rationale for those who may have been injured during the train derailment. Provide support for your position.  Include in your plan contact tracing of the homeless, disabled, displaced community members, migrant workers, and those who have hearing impairment or English as a second language in the event of severe tornadoes.  Plan to lessen health disparities and improve access to services.  Implement a plan to reach Healthy People 2020 objectives.  Track and trace-map community progress.  Use the CDC’s Contract Tracing Resources for Health Departments as a template to create your contact tracing.   Describe the plan for contact tracing during the disaster and recovery phase.  Develop a slide presentation of your disaster recovery plan with an audio recording of you presenting your assessment of the Vila Health: Disaster Recovery Scenario for city officials and the disaster relief team.   You may use Microsoft PowerPoint (preferred) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice-over along with speaker notes. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.    Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:    Title slide.  Recovery plan title.  Your name.  Date.  Course number and title.  References (at the end of your presentation).
