Core Functions of Public Health (graded)<br />

Let’s start with a broad overview of public health nursing. The three core functions of public health are assessment,<br />

assurance, <strong>and</strong> policy development (Nies & McEwen, 2015, p. 6).<br />

Describe one of these core public health functions.<br />

Discuss how this core function relates to one intervention from the Public Health Intervention Wheel (Nies &<br />

McEwen, 2015, pp. 14–15).<br />

Determinants of Health (graded)<br />

What makes some healthy <strong>and</strong> others ill? Healthy People 2020 identifies five determinants of health that influence the<br />

health of individuals <strong>and</strong> populations. Healthy People 2020 describes them as “A range of personal, social, economic,<br />

<strong>and</strong> environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health” (U.S. Department of<br />

Health <strong>and</strong> Human Services, 2014, About Determinants of Health, para. 1). Determinants f<strong>all</strong> into five categories<br />

including: (a) policy making, (b) social factors, (c) health services, (d) individual behavior, <strong>and</strong> (e) biology <strong>and</strong><br />

genetics.<br />

Go to the “Determinants of Health” link http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/foundation-healthmeasures/Determinants-of-Health<br />

<strong>and</strong> click on each determinant to read about <strong>all</strong> of the determinants.<br />

Choose one of the five determinants. In your posting, describe this determinant <strong>and</strong> its importance.<br />

Windshield Survey (graded)<br />

In this discussion thread, you will view a windshield survey video of a community c<strong>all</strong>ed Iron Ridge to practice<br />

performing part of a windshield survey. Review the categories <strong>and</strong> questions in Box 6-2 on page 98 of your text (Nies<br />

& McEwen, 2015).<br />

Click HERE to view the windshield survey video.<br />

Click HERE to read a transcript of the video.<br />

Next, choose one of the six assessment categories from Box 6-2, <strong>and</strong> discuss what you observed about Iron Ridge<br />

related to the questions in that category.<br />

Also, discuss how a community health nurse might prioritize the identified needs to begin planning an intervention.

Demographic <strong>and</strong> Epidemiological Assessment (graded)<br />

For this post, you will collect assessment data about your city or county. This post will include information about<br />

demographics (general characteristics) <strong>and</strong> epidemiological data (disease or health behavior rates) of your<br />

community. This data collection will help with two sections of your Week 4 Milestone 2 assignment.<br />

1. Demographic data: Go online to the U.S. Census Bureau at http://quickfacts.census.gov/. Obtain information<br />

about the demographic characteristics of the population for your city or county of residence. You may have to look at<br />

county data if your city is not listed. Collect a range of demographic data about age, ethnicity, poverty levels, housing,<br />

<strong>and</strong> education.<br />

2. Epidemiological data: Go to your city or county health department website (search the Internet) or County<br />

Health Rankings (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/) to discuss epidemiological data about your area. Identify<br />

several priority health concerns for your area.<br />

Here is a helpful tip sheet about the<br />

<strong>Devry</strong> <strong>NR443</strong> week 3<br />

DQ 1<br />

Caring for Vulnerable Populations (graded)<br />

This week, you are learning about many different vulnerable populations. Choose one vulnerable population.<br />

<br />

Briefly describe this vulnerable population.<br />

<br />

Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for this group.<br />

<br />

Describe two priorities for community health nurses working with this population.<br />

DQ 2<br />

<br />

<br />

Assuring Resources for the Vulnerable (graded)<br />

Review the Week 3 Case Study that may be found in Doc Sharing.<br />

Assurance is one of the three core functions of public health. Find a resource in your community (other than WIC)<br />

that could assist Mary during her pregnancy. Start by searching the Internet for your local health department’s<br />

website. What services do they provide for pregnant women or those with mental health concerns? What about your<br />

local welfare office? Do they provide prenatal or mental health services? Are there any service organizations, crisis<br />

pregnancy centers, or churches providing help for pregnant women or those experiencing mental health concerns?<br />

Briefly describe the types of services that you found.<br />

Choose one agency <strong>and</strong> assess this agency in terms of the 4 As. Is it accessible, acceptable, affordable, or<br />

available for Mary or other pregnant women that you case-manage?<br />

<strong>Devry</strong> <strong>NR443</strong> week 4<br />

DQ 1<br />

Concerns for the School Nurse (graded)<br />

As the school nurse role evolves, there are increasingly more health concerns for the school nurse. Does the locale<br />

make a difference in the problems, or are health problems in children <strong>and</strong> adolescents universal? In some inner-city<br />

areas, violence is a prevalent issue. What do you think are the biggest problems in your areas?


DQ 2<br />

Healthy People Objectives for Community Settings (graded)<br />

The federal government developed Healthy People as a set of national health objectives that are revised every 10<br />

years. These objectives are very specific in order to guide <strong>and</strong> measure our nation’s progress related to public health.<br />

Please visit http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/. Click on a topic area that relates to a<br />

community health (CH) setting you are learning about. Click on the green Objectives area in that topic area to choose<br />

one Healthy People 2020 numbered objective.<br />

Describe the community health setting of interest (see Chapters 30–33).<br />

<br />

Discuss one specific numbered Healthy People 2020 objective (not a goal) related to this community health<br />

<br />

setting.<br />

How could a community health nurse help this setting meet this objective?<br />

Here is a helpful “Introduction to Healthy People 2020 website” document to aid you in navigating the HP 2020<br />

intervention to the task force.<br />

Summarize this intervention <strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> discuss the community health nurse’s role in implementing this<br />

strategy.<br />

Describe whether it is considered a primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention strategy <strong>and</strong> include your<br />

rationale (see Nies & McEwen, 2015, Chapter 1, p. 7 for a review of levels of prevention).<br />

headings on your paper. See the documents in the APA category in <strong>Course</strong> Resources for assistance with APA<br />

formatting.<br />

[Introduction:]This beginning of your paper should catch the reader’s attention with interesting facts about<br />

your community<strong>and</strong> shouldinclude the purpose statement of the paper. This should be one paragraph.APA states that<br />

you should not title this as introduction; however, you are still expected to write a separate introduction. The title of<br />

the paper should be repeated at the top of page two <strong>and</strong> centered.<br />

Community Overview: Identify the community that you are assessingby name <strong>and</strong> state<strong>and</strong> provide a<br />

generaldescription of the community. What is the general character of the community?Statistics should not be<br />

included here. Your community should be the area you live or workin <strong>and</strong> should include a residential area. It should<br />

be a large enough area to answer the questions in the text. This should be one paragraph.<br />

Demographic Data: Compile a range of demographic (population description) data for your community by<br />

examining U.S. Census Bureau reports. Using this data, describe yourcommunity. Compare your community data to<br />

state or national data. A summary of this data should beno more than two paragraphs.<br />

Epidemiological Data: Compile <strong>and</strong> summarize a range of epidemiological (illness, morbidity, <strong>and</strong><br />

mortality) data for your community by examining data from sources such as city or county health department reports,<br />

County Health Rankings (countyhealthrankings.org), or the Centers for Disease Control to describe priority health<br />

problems in your area. See the Webliography for applicable sites to search. Compare your community to state or<br />

national data. This comparison will help to identify a priority community health problem specific to your community. A<br />

summary of this data should be no more than two paragraphs.<br />

Windshield Survey: Provide a summary of your observationsfrom your first milestone. Make sure to<br />

discuss observations related to your identified problem. This should be one to two paragraphs.<br />

Problem Diagnosis:<br />

o Using the assessment data, identify one community health nursing problem that you consider to be a priority<br />

concern.<br />

o Relate your choice to one of the Healthy People 2020specific numbered objectives (not just a goal).Healthy<br />

People objectives are located within a topic area under the Objectives tab.<br />

o Your rationale should also include why this is a problem in your community <strong>and</strong> factors that contribute to the<br />

problem. Avoid discussion of interventions in this milestone.<br />

o Include a discussion of your problem withinformation from at least two scholarly sources (such as professional<br />

journal articles).(Review the documents in the APA category in Doc Sharing for help in determining sources that are<br />

considered scholarly—hint, .com websites are not considered scholarly sources).This should beno more than three<br />

paragraphs.<br />

Summary:Summarize your community assessment <strong>and</strong> diagnosis findings <strong>and</strong> include a brief statement<br />

about the problem<strong>and</strong> the major factors that contribute to this problem. This information should be no more than two<br />

paragraphs.

Intervention <strong>and</strong> Evaluation<br />

Purpose


The purpose of this PowerPoint presentation is to provide an opportunity to develop a community health nursing<br />

intervention <strong>and</strong> evaluation tool for your identified community health problem (described in Milestone 2: Assessment<br />

<strong>and</strong> Diagnosis) <strong>and</strong> identify the components of the nursing process as they apply to a community or population.<br />

<strong>Course</strong> Outcomes<br />

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.<br />

CO1: Apply principles of nursing theory to the public health system by analyzing determinants of health <strong>and</strong> the public<br />

health intervention wheel. (PO 1)<br />

CO3: Plan prevention <strong>and</strong> population-focused interventions for vulnerable populations using professional clinical<br />

judgment <strong>and</strong> evidence-based practice. (PO 4, 8)<br />

CO4: Evaluate the delivery of care for individuals, families, aggregates, <strong>and</strong> communities based on theories <strong>and</strong><br />

principles of nursing <strong>and</strong> related disciplines. (PO 1)<br />

Scenario<br />

You are a community public health nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have analyzed the data<br />

collected from your windshield survey <strong>and</strong> assessment <strong>and</strong> diagnosis <strong>assignments</strong> (the first two milestones) <strong>and</strong><br />

identified one community health nursing problem. You have decided on onenursing intervention <strong>and</strong> need your<br />

organization’s approval for funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to your proposal.<br />

<strong>Course</strong> Home as well as Week 6 Assignments page.<br />

Choose a community health nurse setting.Some examples of settings are school nurse, parish nurse, home<br />

health nurse, nurse working in the health department (be specific to what area in the health department, e.g., WIC,<br />

STD clinic, health promotion, maternal-child health, etc.)<br />

Introduction:Introduce the identified problem, the purpose of the presentation, <strong>and</strong> reiterate at least one or<br />

two important findings that demonstrate this problem in your community (average of 1–2 slides)<br />

Proposed Intervention:Propose one community health nursing intervention that would address one or<br />

more of the major factors that contribute to the problem(average of 3–4 slides).<br />

o Describe your specific nursing intervention relating it to the public health intervention wheel (Nies& McEwen, 2015,<br />

p. 14, Figure 1-3)<br />

o Whois your target population?<br />

o Where is this intervention taking place?<br />

o Will it take place one time or multiple times?<br />

o How will you reach out to your target population?<br />

How will you get your target population involved?<br />

o What is the CH nurse’s role in this intervention?<br />

o Will you collaborate with anyone (e.g., physician’s office, church, local resources, etc.)<br />

o Is anyone else involved besides yourself (C/PHN)?<br />

If yes, are they paid or volunteers?<br />

o What level(s) of prevention is your intervention addressing (primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention)?<br />

Intervention Justification:Justify why the problem <strong>and</strong> your nursing intervention should be a priority.


o Based on what you have found in the scholarly literature, discuss why these interventions are expected to be<br />

effective.<br />

o Include summarized information from at least two professional scholarly sources from peer reviewed journals<br />

related to your intervention (average of 2–3 slides).<br />

Proposed Evaluation Methods: Your presentation must include at least oneproposed quantitative or<br />

qualitative evaluation method thatyouwould use to determine whether your intervention is effective. Outcome<br />

measurement is a crucial piece whenimplementing interventions(average of 2–3 slides)<br />

o Describe at least one quantitative or qualitative method you would use to evaluate whether your intervention was<br />

effective. (There is a helpful tool found in Doc Sharing to assist you with underst<strong>and</strong>ing qualitative <strong>and</strong> quantitative<br />

methods of evaluation).<br />

o Describe the desired outcomes you would track that would show whether your intervention was working.<br />

o Include a discussion about the long-term <strong>and</strong> short-term impact on your community if the intervention issuccessful.<br />

Summary: The summary should reiterate the main points of the presentation <strong>and</strong> conclude with what you<br />

are asking to be accomplished; for example, “Based on ABC, it is imperative our community has XYZ. Thank you for<br />

your consideration.”<br />

In addition to the slides described above, your presentation should include a title slide with your name<br />

included<strong>and</strong> a reference slide.Remember, you are presenting to your leadership team, so the slides should include<br />

the most important elements for them to know inshort bullet pointed phrases. You may add additional comments in<br />

the notes section to clarify information for your instructor.<br />
