Explain the principles and concepts of disease prevention and health promotion for diverse and vulnerable populations.

/in /by

Prepare a 4–5-page review of recent research that examines statistics on the primary health concern of a population, describes the methods and tools used in the research studies, explains the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for a population, and recommends a health care initiative.
Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

The ability to locate, evaluate, and apply research is an important skill for nurses to develop in order to provide evidence-based care for individuals, families, communities, and health care systems.

Competency 1: Explain the principles and concepts of disease prevention and health promotion for diverse and vulnerable populations.
Compare the statistics for a health concern of a vulnerable or diverse population to the statistics for the general population.
Explain the factors that affect health promotion and disease prevention for a vulnerable or diverse population.
Recommend an evidence-based health care initiative for a specific health care concern of a vulnerable or diverse population.
Competency 3: Apply basic epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods, tools, and databases to determine the effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention initiatives for diverse and vulnerable populations.
Describe the epidemiological concepts, data analysis methods, tools, and databases used in research studies related to health concerns for a vulnerable or diverse population.
Describe health care initiatives used by organizations to address the health care concerns of vulnerable or diverse populations.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the health care professions.

Artist Deconstruction; explain how the physiology of the eye helps you to see the four cues.(color, form, depth, and movement)

/in /by

The artist Georges Seurat is one of the world’s most fascinating artists. His technique of pointillism was pivotal in inspiring future generations of painters to think about painting in both individualistic and non-conformist ways. This week’s reading references many artists from different movements (i.e. Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci).
Conduct research on an artist from any movement that you find interesting. Choose one of their works. Analyze the image using the four visual cues from your reading: color, form, depth, and movement. Explain how the artist makes use of these four cues.
In your deconstruction of the image, also explain how the physiology of the eye helps you to see the four cues.
This paper should be 2-3 pages long. Be sure to cite any resources using proper APA notation. For more information on using APA, please see the Library section of the Resources tab.

Nursing Research Poster Presentation
Nursing Research Poster Presentation
Using a nursing research study assigned by the course instructor, create a poster presentation reflecting a synopsis of the study. Presentation should summarize the introduction, background or literature review, methods, results, & conclusion of the assigned journal article. Please note this is not an exercise in cutting & pasting. Paraphrase content to reflect individual understanding of research study content. Refer to the poster presentation tutorial provided in the Blackboard Course Content section for guidance. All posters shall be uploaded to the discussion board.
How to Create a Research Poster: Poster Basics
Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program. Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion. The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. PowerPoint is a popular and easy-to-use software platform to make a poster. It is part Microsoft Office.
What makes a good poster? • Important information should be readable from about 10 feet away • Title is short and draws interest • Word count of 800 words or less • Text is clear and to the point • Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read • Effective use of graphics, color and fonts • Consistent and clean layout • Includes acknowledgments, your name and institutional affiliation
Poster Design Tips
• Use large text (your text should be at least 18-24 pt; headings 30-60 pt; title >72pt.) • Do not use more than 2-3 font styles total • Use fonts that are easy to read (such as Times New Roman, and Arial) • Avoid jagged edges: left-justify text within text boxes or fully justify blocks of text • Avoid too much text (no more than 800 words max) and undefined technical jargon • Choose colors carefully and pay attention to contrast. If in doubt, dark print on light background is best. Remember – some colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and green. • Organize and align your content with columns, sections, headings, and blocks of text • White space is important to increase visual appeal and readability (this is the “empty” space between sections, columns, headings, blocks of text, and graphics). • Selectively incorporate charts, graphs, photographs, and key quotations from primary sources, maps, and other graphics that support the theme of your poster. It is best to avoid using tables of data. • Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution (at least 300ppi) and easily visible • Edit your poster carefully for typographic or grammatical mistakes and image quality before the final print-out (use the print-preview function)
Poster Review Checklist
• Does poster have enough white space? • Are the text and graphics legible? • Are the text and graphics consistent? • Is the flow of information logical? • Are the following identified: research question, methods, take-home message or conclusion? • Are the proper acknowledgments provided?
