APPLICATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH & POPULATION-FOCUSED NURSING
Competency 7019.1.1: Epidemiology The graduate applies principles of epidemiology to the assessment of the healthcare needs of communities.
Competency 7019.1.5: Environmental Health The graduate assesses the impact of the environment on the health of the community.
Competency 7019.1.8: Cultural Competency The graduate analyzes social and cultural factors that affect the care of diverse populations.
Introduction:
More emphasis is being placed on healthier communities as changes are occurring in the fields of healthcare financing policy and focus. One of the primary roles of a community health nurse is to assess the community or population in order to determine its health status in relation to its assets and needs.
Requirements:
A. Identify an appropriate community for which there is published data available (county state or national data) that will support the diagnosis.
B. Assess the health needs and risks of the identified community by utilizing the following tools:
Note: The collection of this data should include a variety of data sources such as focus groups with older adults and/or youth epidemiological data from the health department or department of vital statistics investigations of community resources from stakeholders or faith-based organizations and/or surveys. You do not have to answer every question listed in the assessment tools. Each of these tools can be found either in the web links section or as an attachment to this task.
Population Economic Status Assessment
Neighborhood/Community Safety Inventory
Cultural Assessment Tool
Disaster Assessment and Planning Guide
Windshield Survey
Population Health Scavenger Hunt
Note: The name of each of the six tools should be identified in the needs assessment summary along with a brief summary of how each of the six tools was used in the needs assessment.
1. Interpret the collected data using concepts of epidemiology and health determinants (e.g. birth rate death rate rates of disease morbidity).
C. Formulate an appropriate community diagnosis for the selected community by doing the following (suggested length of 46 pages):
1. Identify the top three problems for the selected community based on the Healthy People 2020 goals.
a. Discuss the problems in relation to the Healthy People 2020 goals.
2. Select one of the problems identified in part C1 that you would like to investigate further and do the following:
a. Discuss community resources (e.g. Public Health Department American Red Cross American Heart) that are available to address this problem.
3. Formulate a primary prevention topic based on the problem you identified in part C2.
Note: See the attached Approved Topic List for guidance in formulating your topic.
D. Include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.
Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from outside sources even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.

discuss the assessment of Mr Drew including neurological sensory and motor assessment

/in /by

Length: 1500 words
Task: Mr Patrick Drew is a 74-year-old man (UR number 452342). He was referred by his GP to the neurology team for investigation and management of his Parkinsons disease dysphagia and falls. On assessment he demonstrated bradykinesia gaze limitations (in all directions) a persistent unilateral tremor in his right arm and a shuffling gait (with limited arm swing). His limb rigidity is lead pipe rigidity but he also has cogwheel rigidity in his wrists. His wife Betty described an increasing frequency in coughing and choking during the meals. His lung fields are clear and there is currently no indication of aspiration pneumonia. Mr Drew has right sided facial bruising including a large periorbital haematoma where he fell and hit his head earlier in the week. A CT scan ruled out head injury and the event was classified as unremarkable. His frequency of falls has also increased in the last few months.
Mr Drew takes Sinemet (a combination of levodopa and carbidopa) and amantadine. Mr Drews problem is related to a deficit of dopamine within the brain. Neither of these drugs is dopamine.
Temp 36.7 C HR 64 RR 14 BP 140/82 SpO2 97% RA.

describe one enzyme that is used in cleaning products, other products, industrial procedures or that is found in food

/in /by

In lab 4 you are exploring two enzymes, catalase that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, and amylase that aids in starch digestion. These are two examples of the many enzymes found inside our bodies.
Enzymes are also used in many of the products we use! Check your cleaning supplies at home, do any of them list enzymes on the ingredient list? If so, does it say which type of enzyme? Any other products you use contain enzymes? What type of enzymes are used in industry? Which enzymes are found in the food we eat?
After doing some research, choose and describe one enzyme that is used in cleaning products, other products, industrial procedures or that is found in food. Explain how this enzyme is used. What is the substrate in the chemical reaction? And what is the product(s)?
